Recently, the adverse effects caused by TCM and traditional nontoxic TCM have been frequently reported (Joo et al., 2020;Liu et al., 2021). As the safety of TCM continues to attract widespread attention, many researchers have been investigating the toxicity of TCM in regard to the toxic ingredients, effects, mechanisms, and detoxification strategies in TCM (Figure S1 in Supporting Information). Although some TCMs cause toxic reactions, they also play key roles in treating certain unignorable diseases (Fang et al., 2022).Therefore, toxicity research is crucial and urgently needed to develop and safely use TCM.展开更多
