  • Tom's Comment

    1. Shu Di Huang can be cloying and caution should always be used in susceptible patients.
    2. Although Shu Di Huang visually resembles Sheng Di Huang, they can be easily be distinguished. Shu Di Huang is black on both sides while Sheng Di Huang is black on one side and brown on the other.
