On a cold rainy day, it’s the perfect time to have a Sichuan-style hot pot that’s full of color, flavor, and flavor. However, the big fish and meat are all spicy. Is it safe for pregnant mothers to eat this way? What impact does eating during pregnancy have on the baby? Traditional Chinese medicine believes that diet during pregnancy will indeed affect the skin health of the unborn baby.
It is not recommended to eat spicy food during pregnancy
Oops, you can’t eat spicy food when you’re pregnant, and you can’t eat it randomly. My baby spoiled me rotten! Xiaoshan said that she did not pay attention to her diet when she was pregnant, which caused her baby to develop eczema.
Indeed. Qian Yixiao, the attending Chinese medicine practitioner at Gushengtang, said that if pregnant women eat too much spicy, fried, durian and other foods during pregnancy, they will retain heat in the body, causing blood heat in the baby, and eventually eczema, commonly known as ringworm. Allergic skin diseases caused by both internal and external factors are most common in newborns, and many children with this disease have delayed onset in early childhood. Ringworm usually occurs on the cheeks, top of the head, forehead, between the eyebrows, neck, under the jaw or behind the ears, and can spread to other parts of the body. It is mainly characterized by skin erythema, papules, blisters, erosion, exudation, and severe symptoms. manifestations of itching. The classic TCM surgical literature \”Surgery Authentic\” records: mastitis, eating five spices in the fetus, eating boiled rice for a long time, residual heat and infants, mastitis on the head and face after birth, fat flakes, irritability in sleeping, and constant itching. According to Qian Yixiao, eczema sometimes lasts for a long time, may last throughout childhood, and can easily relapse.
Qian Yixiao said: As far as human physique is concerned, only a small number of people can completely eliminate heat toxins, which is what Cantonese people often call \”fetal toxins.\” Therefore, it may not be a big problem for pregnant mothers to eat spicy food once or twice, but it is not recommended to eat it frequently.
Overfeeding can cause eczema in children
In addition to pregnant women not paying attention to their diet during pregnancy, there are also the following reasons that can cause eczema in children:
1. Children have a relatively weak constitution and are prone to eczema once they are exposed to moisture. However, this condition develops quickly and recovers quickly.
2. Eating disorders in children. Some children like to eat sweets and hot and moist fruits. There is already dampness and heat in the body, and eczema is prone to occur when dampness and heat are exogenously present.
3. Some parents overfeed milk powder, eggs, and even high-protein allergenic foods such as seafood, beef and mutton, which can easily cause skin allergies in babies and lead to this disease. The main symptoms of this type of eczema are: bright red and burning rash, unbearable itching, oozing of secretions, and a foul odor when dampness prevails; long-term lingering, damage to yin and blood, dry skin, internal heat transforming into dry wind, and it may become chronic , repeated and difficult to heal. The main pathogenesis is the combination of internal and external rheumatism and heat, resulting in general stagnation of the skin surface.
Western medicine has long-term side effects. You can try Chinese medicine for internal use and external washing.
Infant eczema has a long course and is prone to recurring attacks, which is related to its specific allergic constitution. Because the specific constitution of the human body is difficult to change, it is generally believed that pediatric eczema cannot be completely cured, and treatment mainly focuses on relieving symptoms.
Qian Yixiao emphasized that the medical treatment of eczema in children is relatively complicated, mainly including anti-allergic drugs, hormone ointments, and Chinese patent medicine lotions. Although effective, repeated use can cause side effects such as hormone dependence.
In the treatment of children\’s eczema, traditional Chinese medicine adopts syndrome differentiation and treatment, combining internal and external factors to treat both the symptoms and the root causes. Often long-term and stable curative effects can be achieved, or the disease can be cured quickly, and the child has the ability to heal himself. Children\’s skin is delicate and thin and absorbs better. Chinese medicine taken orally or washed has a better effect, especially suitable for babies with yellow water oozing and severe erosion due to damp and hot conditions.
Qian Yixiao reminded that the child\’s physique is immature, yin and yang are intertwined, and changes rapidly. The sooner treatment is better, the better. The principles that should be adhered to in treating eczema in children: It is necessary to not only solve the three evils of wind, dampness and heat on the body surface, but also to strengthen the physical constitution and have both attack and nourishment.
