Oriental medicine should not be used during pregnancy

Using oriental medicine whose origin is not controlled and whose preparation method is not reliable can harm the health of the fetus and mother.

Aconite is a medicinal herb that should not be used during pregnancy.

Compared to modern medicine, Oriental medicine often has less impact on the health of the mother and fetus, so it is mostly chosen to nourish pregnant mothers. Of course, not all Oriental medicines are harmless to pregnancy. Therefore, it is necessary to know some medicines of this type to proactively avoid using them because they can have a negative impact on the safety of both mother and fetus.

Oriental medicine is also suitable for each person, so some people drink a few doses and see the effect, but many people drink a lot and still do not see any change. Therefore, during pregnancy, whether taking Western medicine or Oriental medicine, you must be very careful so as not to affect the fetus. While taking medicine, you must "listen" and monitor your body to see if there is anything unusual to promptly notify the doctor, and at the same time, you must immediately stop taking it and not continue taking it.

Pregnant women who want to take oriental medicine should see a doctor to get a prescription, not ask someone else to do it for them. Because each pregnant woman has a different physical condition and health.

In addition, you should pay attention to buying medicine from reputable places with clear origins. Boil the medicine according to the prescription, in the correct dosage, do not abuse it when using medicine. Before boiling, wash the medicine many times to remove dirt and preservatives remaining in the medicine.

The best and safest way is for the mother tohealth supplementBy eating, eating enough nutrients, living and resting properly, and exercising regularly, this will be the safest and most effective way to protect the health of mother and fetus.

In short, if you feel the need to use oriental medicine, even if it is a tonic, you should consult your doctor and not use any medicine arbitrarily.
