Can pregnant women eat Artemisia

In daily life, even if unexpected situations occur during pregnancy, women’s food hygiene and safety should always be put first. If pregnant women eat bad food, it is easy to cause stomach pain or diarrhea, so can pregnant women eat Artemisia annua?

Pregnant women can eat Artemisia annua, because Artemisia annua is actually rich in nutrients, including a high vitamin content, and taking Artemisia annua can also play a role in treating symptoms such as cough and cold. However, you cannot eat too much Artemisia annua, as it is a cool Chinese medicinal material. Eating too much of it will not be good for pregnant women. Just soak it in water and take it in moderation. If used properly, Artemisia annua can also relieve heat, promote urination and reduce blood pressure.

Another function of Artemisia annua is that it has an inhibitory effect on tuberculosis and can also inhibit the aggravation of some skin diseases. The effect of clearing the liver and promoting bile secretion is quite significant, and if pregnant women develop jaundice during pregnancy, they can be treated by taking Artemisia annua water. In addition, if pregnant women have symptoms such as cough and sore throat, they can also use Artemisia annua to treat and relieve the symptoms.

However, if the pregnant woman has a poor gastrointestinal condition and suffers from yang deficiency and qi deficiency, it is not recommended to take Artemisia annua. The medicinal effect of Artemisia annua may cause diarrhea and gastrointestinal function damage in pregnant women. Women who are pregnant should carefully consider taking any Chinese herbal medicines and must obtain the advice and approval of their doctor before taking them.

Pregnant women should be careful about what they eat:

1. Aloe: Data provided by the my country Institute of Food Science and Technology show that if pregnant women consume too much aloe juice, it is easy to cause abdominal pain, nausea, bloody stools, and even miscarriage.

2. Hairy crabs: Hairy crabs are delicious, but they are cold in nature and have the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. Therefore, they have a bad effect on pregnant women and should be eaten with caution.

3. Job's tears rice: Traditional Chinese medicine believes that job's tears rice is smooth and has a stimulating effect on uterine smooth muscle, can promote uterine contractions, and has the possibility of inducing miscarriage, so it should be eaten with caution.

4. Purslane: Purslane is cold and slippery in nature, and has a significant stimulating effect on the uterus. It can increase the frequency of uterine contractions and increase the intensity, which can easily lead to miscarriage, so it should be eaten with caution.

6. Apricots and sweet almonds: Because the fetal heat is heavier during pregnancy, you should usually eat light food before delivery. Apricots are hot in nature. Eating too many apricots at one time can cause getting angry easily, so pregnant women should eat them with caution.

7. Wild turtle: Because wild turtle and Poria cocos have salty and cold effects, they have a strong effect of clearing blood vessels and dispersing blood stasis, and thus have certain disadvantages of causing abortion, so pregnant women should eat them with caution.

8. Chaotian pepper: Eating spicy food in moderation is beneficial to people's intake of comprehensive nutrients. However, eating too much chili pepper can irritate the stomach and intestines, cause constipation, and increase blood volume. If you have placenta previa, you should absolutely not take it.

9. Pepper, star anise, star anise, and five-spice powder: These are hot seasonings, which can easily consume water from the stomach and intestines, reduce gastrointestinal secretions, and cause dry stomach and constipation. Pregnant women should try to avoid or not eat them.
