For the health of the fetus, pregnant women generally do not take medicine when they are sick, because some medicines may affect the fetus. People now realize that all medicines are poisonous to some extent, so when there are problems with the body, they usually use diet therapy, physical therapy and other methods to treat them, so as not to cause secondary effects on the body. Let's find out whether loquat leaves have any effect on pregnant women? 1. Can pregnant women drink loquat leaf water? Pregnant women can drink loquat leaf water. The effects of loquat leaves are: 1. Antitussive, expectorant and antiasthmatic effects The hydrocyanic acid produced by the hydrolysis of amygdalin in the body has an antitussive effect. The water decoction or ethyl acetate extract has expectorant and antiasthmatic effects. The volatile oil contained in its leaves has a mild expectorant effect. There are also reports that loquat leaves have a strong antitussive effect but a poor expectorant effect. 2. Antibacterial effect Experiments show that the water decoction or ethyl acetate extract of this product has antibacterial effects on white or aureus Staphylococcus, Pneumococcus, and Shigella flexneri. However, some people believe that loquat leaves have no antibacterial effects and can stimulate the growth of Staphylococcus aureus. 3. Other functions It has been reported that cold-infused ethanol extract of loquat leaves has an anti-inflammatory effect on carrageenan-induced paw swelling in rats, while local application or oral administration of warm-infused extract and oral administration of cold-infused extract have no anti-inflammatory effect. 4. Nutritional supplement Loquat contains a variety of nutrients, which can effectively supplement the body's nutrients, improve the body's disease resistance, and play a role in strengthening the body. 5. Moisturize the lungs and relieve cough Loquat kernels contain amygdalin, which can relieve cough and expectorant, and treat various coughs. 6. Reduce stomach upset and stop vomiting Loquat leaves are bitter and can dissipate heat, reduce qi and relieve counterflow, making them a good product for stopping vomiting and can treat various types of vomiting and hiccups. 7. Prevent influenza Loquat fruits and leaves can inhibit influenza viruses and prevent colds in all seasons. 2. Dietary taboos for pregnant women 1. Crab: It tastes delicious, but it is cold in nature and has the function of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, so it is not good for pregnant women, especially crab claws, which have obvious abortion effects. 2. Soft-shelled turtle: Although it has the effect of nourishing yin and benefiting the kidney, the nature of soft-shelled turtle is salty and cold, and it has a strong effect of clearing blood vessels and dispersing blood stasis, so it has certain disadvantages of causing abortion, especially the abortion effect of turtle shell is stronger than that of turtle meat. 3. Job's tears: It is a food and medicine, and Chinese medicine believes that it has a smooth and slippery texture. Pharmacological experiments have shown that coix seed has an excitatory effect on uterine smooth muscle, which can promote uterine contraction and thus may induce miscarriage. 4. Purslane: It is both a herb and a vegetable, and its medicinal properties are cold and slippery. Experiments have shown that purslane juice has a significant stimulating effect on the uterus, which can increase the frequency and intensity of uterine contractions and easily cause miscarriage. 5. Canned food: A certain amount of additives are added to canned food during the production process. It is harmful to the health of pregnant women if they consume too much. |
