Which Chinese medicines should pregnant women not smell?

There are many drugs that can cause miscarriage in women. Even if the drug does not come into direct contact with women, as long as women smell it, they will have miscarriage. For example, oleander is a common flower in our lives. This flower is generally used to plant on the side of the road to decorate the road, but the flower of oleander can cause miscarriage in women. Musk is also a traditional Chinese medicine that can cause miscarriage. So what traditional Chinese medicines can't pregnant women smell?

Ten kinds of Chinese medicine that pregnant women should not use

1. Heat-clearing category: Chinese patent medicines with the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, purging fire, and removing dampness, such as Liushen Pills, may cause fetal malformations when taken in early pregnancy; taking them in late pregnancy may easily lead to consequences such as mental retardation in children. However, Chinese patent medicines containing ingredients such as bezoar can easily cause miscarriage in pregnant women because of their strong attacking and purgative effects, such as Niuhuang Jiedu Pills, Pianzihuang, Xihuang Pills, Baidu Paste, Xiaoyan Jiedu Pills, etc.

2. Anti-rheumatic and anti-arthritic categories: Chinese patent medicines with the main functions of dispelling wind, dispersing cold, removing dampness and relieving pain, such as tiger bone papaya pills. The Achyranthes bidentata that promotes blood circulation can harm the fetus. Similar Chinese patent medicines include Dahuo Luo Pills, Tianma Pills, Huatuo Zaizao Pills, Shangshi Qutong Paste, etc. However, the Anti-thrombotic and Rejuvenating Pills are forbidden to be used by pregnant women because rhubarb attacks the lower part of the body and leeches break up blood.

3. Digestive type: a type of Chinese patent medicine that has the functions of digesting food, removing stagnation, and resolving accumulation, such as Binglang Sixiao Pills, Qingwei Hezhong Pills, Jiuzhi Dahuang Pills, Xiangsha Yangwei Pills, Dashanzha Pills, etc., all of which have the effects of activating blood circulation, promoting qi circulation, and attacking the lower part, so they can easily cause miscarriage.

4. Laxatives: Chinese patent medicines that have the functions of facilitating bowel movements, eliminating gastrointestinal stagnation, or expelling water and fluid, and moistening the intestines and promoting bowel movements, such as Shizao Pills, Zhouche Pills, Maren Pills, Runchang Pills, etc., because of their strong laxative effects, they may damage the fetus.

5. Qi-regulating category: Chinese patent medicines that have the function of unblocking Qi, lowering Qi and promoting Qi movement, such as Muxiang Shunqi Pills, Shixiang Zhitong Pills, Qizhi Weitong Granules, etc. However, as most of them are Qi-lowering and Qi-breaking medicines and have strong Qi-promoting and depression-relieving effects, they are listed as contraindicated medicines for pregnant women.

6. Blood-regulating medicines: These are Chinese patent medicines that have the effects of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, regulating qi and unblocking meridians, stopping bleeding and relieving pain, such as Qilin Powder, Xiaojindan, Huzhang Tablets, Naoxuethun Tablets, Yunnan Baiyao, Panax Notoginseng Tablets, etc. They can easily cause miscarriage because of their strong ability to remove blood stasis and promote blood circulation.

7. Opening-up type: Chinese patent medicines that have the effect of opening up the orifices and refreshing the brain. For example, Guanxin Suhe Pills, Subing Di Pills, Angong Niuhuang Pills, etc., because they contain musk and spicy fragrance, they can easily damage the fetus's qi, and using them by pregnant women may cause abortion.

8. Anthelmintics: These are traditional Chinese medicines with anthelmintic, anti-inflammatory and analgesic functions, and can expel intestinal parasites. They are toxic and can easily cause miscarriage in pregnant women, fetal malformations, etc., such as cysticercosis pills, anthelmintic tablets, and deworming pills.

9. Dehumidifying: All Chinese patent medicines for treating edema, diarrhea, phlegm, jaundice, stranguria, damp diarrhea, etc., such as Choleretic and Stone-Removing Tablets and Cholelithiasis Tablets, have the effects of removing dampness and promoting diuresis, and relieving stranguria and diarrhea, so pregnant women should not take them.

10. Ulcer agents: Traditional Chinese medicines whose main functions are detoxification, swelling reduction, pus discharge and tissue regeneration. Traditional Chinese medicines such as Qufu Shengji Powder, Ulcer Paste and Baidu Paste contain rhubarb, safflower, angelica, etc., which are blood-activating and menstruation-regulating products, so they should not be used by pregnant women. However, Bailing Paste and Baijiang Dan contain toxic ingredients and are not good for pregnant women.
