Can pregnant women eat aconite?

Once a woman is diagnosed with pregnancy, she must pay close attention to her diet during pregnancy. You must have a balanced diet, with a balance of meat and vegetables. It is best to keep your diet light and avoid greasy or fried foods. Because the baby's growth is supplied by nutrients from the mother, expectant mothers must ensure balanced nutrition during pregnancy, which will be beneficial to the baby's healthy growth.

Many expectant mothers have a strong reaction in the early stage of pregnancy. Many of them can't eat. Some of them vomited even though they ate. Some pregnant mothers also lost weight significantly. Therefore, many expectant mothers are worried that they can't replenish nutrients in time because they can't eat. So they want to use some medicines for nourishment. The most typical one is to take aconite. Let's see if pregnant women can take aconite?

And you need to use the medicine according to your own detailed situation and appropriate dosage. Too much is as bad as too little. This is because aconite contains the toxic ingredient aconitine, which mainly has an excitatory and paralyzing effect on the myocardium, vagus nerve, and peripheral nerves. Symptoms of poisoning include numbness of the tip of the tongue, numbness of the limbs, a feeling of ants crawling, dizziness, blurred vision, nausea, vomiting, etc., and the most serious ones can be life-threatening.

Therefore, all expectant mothers must remember not to believe in medicinal herbs with tonic effects. If you obviously feel unwell, it is best to go to a regular hospital for examination and never take medicine on your own.
