What Chinese medicine can I take to protect my pregnancy? What are the drug instructions?

To protect the fetus, you must be particularly careful about the daily changes in your body and choose different conditioning methods based on different changes. During pregnancy, many people have to pay attention to fetal protection in the early stages. This is to prevent miscarriage and unstable fetal position. Usually, treatment can be assisted by medication. Each medicine is different and has different efficacy. What specific medicines should be used? Let’s take a look.

Traditional Chinese gynecology believes that: "It is better to keep clean before pregnancy." Scutellaria baicalensis is bitter and cold in nature, and is the main medicine for clearing heat and stabilizing pregnancy.

It is used as a basic prescription for clearing heat and stabilizing the fetus in gynecology, and can be used in combination with the following medicines for stabilizing the fetus.

2. Use Atractylodes macrocephala to strengthen the spleen and stabilize pregnancy

The pregnant woman's spleen and stomach are strong, the fetus is adequately nourished, and the fetal qi is naturally strong. On the contrary, if the pregnant woman has a weak spleen and stomach, it is easy to damage the fetus. Strengthening the spleen and stabilizing the fetus are more important than harmonizing the stomach. Atractylodes macrocephala is the main medicine for strengthening the spleen and stabilizing pregnancy. "Prescriptions for Emergencies" already had a special prescription for using Atractylodes macrocephala with Scutellaria baicalensis and White Peony Root to stabilize pregnancy. In later generations, there were prescriptions such as Atractylodes macrocephala powder for stabilizing pregnancy and Jianpi Zisheng pills, all of which mainly used Atractylodes macrocephala to strengthen the spleen and stabilize pregnancy.

3. Glutinous rice and Amomum villosum

In early pregnancy, common symptoms include vomiting, nausea, and loss of appetite due to stomach disharmony. Soothing the stomach and stabilizing the fetus is the first choice. Amomum villosum has a fragrant aroma and soothes the stomach, is good at stabilizing pregnancy and stopping vomiting, and is therefore commonly used in clinical practice. For mild cases, this product can be used alone. It can be chewed and swallowed. It is fragrant and delicious. It can also be used in combination with other medicines. The Chinese patent medicine Xiangsha Liujunzi Pills can treat nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. Glutinous rice is sticky in nature, which can nourish the stomach and stabilize the fetus. People use 10g of ramie and 30g to 50g of glutinous rice to cook porridge. This can be used as a common dietary therapy to stabilize the fetus.

4. Nourishing blood: Rehmannia, Gum, Peony Root, Radix Angelicae Sinensis

Maternal blood is an important substance for maintaining fetal growth. If a pregnant woman is anemic, it will have the greatest impact on the fetus. If she has spotting, it is often a sign of miscarriage. The method of nourishing blood and stabilizing pregnancy is the most commonly used in clinical practice. The main medicines include Rehmannia root, Peony root, Angelica root, donkey-hide gelatin, etc. The prepared prescription Jiao Ai Si Wu Tang is based on four herbs, which can nourish blood and stabilize the fetus as well as stop bleeding and fistula, so it is commonly used in clinical practice.
