Pangdahai tea is not effective for hoarseness caused by vocal cord nodules, vocal cord insufficiency or excessive smoking and alcohol. Moreover, drinking Pangdahai will cause side effects such as thin stools and chest tightness, especially elderly People with sudden loss of voice and spleen deficiency should use it with caution.

　　2. Cassia seed
