Can pregnant women smell fragrance?

In some areas, people believe in Buddhist gods more. On the first and fifteenth day of every month, they go to the temple to burn incense and pray for peace. However, for pregnant women, this special group, it is best not to go to the temple, because the smell of burning incense is very strong, which affects the quality of the air and thus the development of the fetus. It will also make us nervous, and superstitious people think that it is unlucky to be close to the temple, so it is better for pregnant women not to go to the temple.

In fact, many places say that pregnant women cannot go to temples and cannot be touched by these things for fear of bringing bad luck. In fact, scientifically speaking, pregnant women should not go to temples because the air in temples is bad. Temples are usually filled with the smell of incense, which is bad for the body. You must not be too superstitious and afraid, which will affect your mood. If you are nervous and afraid, it will affect the health of your baby!

Although feudal superstition is not credible, from a scientific point of view, it is not suitable for pregnant women to go to temples. The main reason is that there are too many people in the temple and pregnant women might be squeezed and fall. In addition, the air in the temple is particularly bad.

The best incense is made from fine powder of sandalwood and agarwood.

Medium incense: The most common incense we have. Traditional incense is made from elm bark as the raw material. After crushing and grinding, add a small amount of fine powder made from crushed and ground crop straw as the raw material, add appropriate amount of water and stir, put it into a tubular mold and squeegee to produce thin strips in the same shape as incense, which become incense after shearing and air-drying. The bark of elm tree acts as a bond. Secondly, it is a plant fiber and is also flammable.

Inferior incense is made from ordinary wood powder and chemical flavors.

The incense burned by ordinary citizens is cheap and low-quality. Therefore, the gases released after burning a large amount of wood and chemical fragrances are very harmful to the health of pregnant women and fetuses!
