Traditional Chinese medicine has always attached great importance to medication for pregnant women and has accumulated rich experience in long-term clinical practice. I believe that taking Chinese herbal medicine during pregnancy must be verified, and even general tonics must be moderate and suitable for the physique of pregnant women.
All toxic Chinese medicines during pregnancy, such as Junxia, Huali, dissipating blood stasis, dispersing blood, consuming qi, promoting qi, etc., should be banned or used with caution. Most of the illegal drugs are highly toxic and powerful drugs, and they can also cause teratogenesis, miscarriage, stillbirth and other effects. For example: musk, weeds, leeches, horse flies, pokeweed, croton, morning glory, spurge, triangle grass, tulip, etc. Medication precautions include drugs that can dispel menstruation, dissipate blood stasis, regulate qi and activate blood circulation, and warm and smooth drugs, such as peach kernel, safflower, rhubarb, aurantium aurantium, dried ginger, cinnamon, pinellia, etc. However, in special cases, appropriate selection can be made if conditions require. , but the dosage must be strictly controlled and the medication should be stopped appropriately to avoid harming the fetus.
To avoid mental stimulation, pregnant women should not undergo acupuncture in principle.
Do not abuse herbal supplements after pregnancy. Because traditional Chinese medicine believes that after pregnancy, yin blood gathers to nourish the fetus, putting the pregnant woman\’s body in a physiological state of \”deficient yin blood and excessive yang\”, so there is also a folk saying. It is considered that \”cooling before delivery is appropriate\”.
Ginseng is a great tonic for vitality. Long-term use or excessive dosage after pregnancy will make \”Yang Qi more abundant and Yin blood more deficient.\” It can cause vaginal bleeding, miscarriage, fetal distress, etc. The author found in clinical practice that many patients with threatened abortion were caused by taking warm tonic medicines such as ginseng and longan. In addition, it is not advisable to take warm tonic products such as velvet antler, deer placenta, and horn glue after pregnancy. If the symptoms of yin deficiency and internal heat are severe, you can take some supplements that nourish yin and blood, such as white fungus soup, etc. under the guidance of a doctor.
For diseases during pregnancy, traditional Chinese medicine adheres to the principle of treating diseases and protecting the fetus simultaneously. In view of the various drawbacks of modern medical abortion, people are increasingly aware of the non-invasive natural abortion method of traditional Chinese medicine.
Traditional Chinese medicine contraception improves the body function of pregnant women by regulating their internal organs, qi and blood, and Chongren meridians, so that the fetus can be naturally nourished. As long as it is used properly, it will not cause harm to the fetus, and it will not forcefully retain embryos that should be eliminated.
It has been confirmed by clinical follow-up observation and scientific research that the intelligence and health status of children born after using traditional Chinese medicine for miscarriage are exactly the same as those born after normal pregnancy. It can be seen that traditional Chinese medicine does not have any side effects on abortion.
