What is the reason why a baby is born with fetal poison?

My cousin is pregnant. Sometimes she wants to eat spicy food or order takeout, but her mother-in-law and husband won\’t allow it. They say that eating these things is not good and may cause the baby to be poisonous after birth. A few days ago, her mother-in-law bought some goose eggs and asked her to eat one boiled goose egg every two days, saying that this would remove the toxin. The \”poison\” my cousin-in-law refers to is the \”fetal poison\” that is familiar to everyone. My cousin knows that the family is doing the best for the baby, but she is still unhappy and unwilling to eat goose eggs. In daily life, family disputes caused by \”fetal poison\” are also common. Today, let’s talk about this topic. What is \”fetal poison\”? Fetal poisoning is a category of traditional Chinese medicine. It was first recorded in \”Youyouji\” written by Chen Fuzheng of the Qing Dynasty: \”The occurrence of fetal poisoning, such as scabies, dandruff, eczema, carbuncle, tuberculosis, heavy tongue, wooden tongue, goose mouth , aphtha, is caused by fetal fever, fetal cold, fetal convulsions, and fetal yellowing.\” After the baby is born, some skin symptoms are prone to appear on the skin. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it is caused by \”fetal toxin\”. The cause of the disease is related to the heat toxin in the mother\’s body during pregnancy. There is no such thing as \”fetal poison\” in Western medicine, so many young people today either believe it or not. A common \”fetal toxin\” in newborns ♥ Babies with cradle cap who are 1-2 months old will have a yellow-white scab-like rash between the eyebrows, the bridge of the nose, and the scalp, which cannot be removed by picking or washing. See What looks dirty is usually cradle cap. Western medicine calls it neonatal seborrheic dermatitis. During daily care, do not scratch it with your hands. You can soften it with baby oil or Vaseline first, wait for half an hour, wash it with baby shampoo, and then gently use a wet towel. wipe. Babies with cradle cap usually get better on their own within a few weeks or months. ♥Eczema Eczema, also known as \”tinea tinea\”, is more common in infants and young children. The skin appears as red spots, rashes or erythema. The barrier function is the body\’s first line of defense against the invasion of external substances. Because the baby\’s skin is delicate and the skin barrier function is incomplete, it is easy to cause allergies due to external substances. Eczema usually starts on the baby\’s head, and some may spread to the shoulders, neck, back, limbs and entire body. During care, bathe your baby frequently. You can also use a gauze towel to gently wipe the face and body to remove excess sebum and keep the baby\’s skin clean and dry. Wear cotton clothes for your baby, and do not wear too much. Change the baby\’s clothes frequently, and wash the baby\’s clothes thoroughly to avoid skin irritation from laundry detergent, laundry soap and other substances. Because eczema is very itchy, trim the baby\’s nails in time to prevent the baby from scratching himself. These care methods can help your baby get better faster.

After the baby is born, in order to quickly adapt to the environment outside the mother\’s body, it needs to quickly metabolize the fetal blood (red blood cells). During the metabolism process, \”bilirubin\” (a light yellow pigment in bile) is generated. These bilirubin are transported to the liver for \”waste processing\” through blood circulation, and then excreted into feces through the biliary tract and intestines. Some of the \”processed waste\” is transported to the kidneys by the blood and excreted in urine. becauseWhen a baby is just born, the liver\’s ability to \”process waste\” is not perfect. When too much bilirubin is produced and exceeds the baby\’s ability to excrete it, the skin and the whites of the eyes will turn yellow, which is jaundice. In babies born at full term, jaundice will appear 2-3 days after birth, peak at 5-7 days after birth, and subside around 2 weeks after birth. However, if your baby\’s jaundice appears prematurely, progresses too quickly, has a peak value that is too high, or lasts too long, or if there are other abnormal symptoms, you should see a doctor promptly and let the doctor diagnose whether it is pathological jaundice to avoid delays. illness. Bilirubin is excreted through urine and feces. Physiological jaundice does not require special treatment and will mostly subside on its own. For full-term babies with jaundice, care must be taken to ensure adequate feeding. You can increase the frequency of feeding, feeding 8 to 12 times a day or more, promote urination and defecation in your baby, and help prevent and treat jaundice. Although Western medicine does not talk about removing fetal toxins, it is not completely unreasonable for fetal poisons to be spread to this day. How to get rid of \”fetal poison\”? Folk methods for removing fetal toxins include eating goose eggs, drinking corn silk water, barley water, winter melon water, mung bean soup, pigeon soup, etc. in late pregnancy. These methods are certain but not absolute. If the pregnant mother has a damp-heat constitution, such as eczema, acne, dry eyes, thirst, mouth and tongue sores, sore throat, upset, yellow urine, dry stool or constipation during pregnancy, etc. In the third trimester of pregnancy, you can eat some mung bean soup, corn silk water, winter melon soup, barley soup, lotus seed porridge and other foods that diuretic and remove dampness. Since fetal toxins are mostly related to the mother’s poor diet or emotions during pregnancy, prevention during pregnancy is more important. 1. Reasonable diet During pregnancy, pay attention to a reasonable diet, eat more seasonal fresh fruits and vegetables, and pay attention to the combination of meat and vegetables. Eat less or no foods that are salty, spicy, fried, greasy, pickled, or stale. Even in summer, try to eat as little ice-based food as ice cream. 2. Live a regular life, balance work and rest.

Being angry or depressed can easily aggravate the toxins in the body, making the fetus prone to irritability and crying after birth. Therefore, mothers should adjust during pregnancy, think more about the beautiful things around them, and maintain a peaceful mood. In short, the term fetal poison reminds mothers to pay attention to a reasonable diet, maintain good living habits, and pay attention to emotional stability and peace during pregnancy. Only when the mother is better physically and mentally can the baby in her belly be better. Pregnant mothers are also reminded here that they can adjust their diet, but they should not take medicines and folk remedies indiscriminately for the purpose of \”removing fetal toxins\”.
