Taking Chinese medicine to regulate your body in preparation for pregnancy

If women take some Chinese medicine to regulate their bodies during pregnancy preparation, they must consult a doctor before taking it, because there are many drugs that are not suitable for female contraception, and after stopping the drug, they must wait for a period of blood circulation in the body before starting to prepare for pregnancy. Only in this way can the drug residues remaining in the body be eliminated. So is it okay to take Chinese medicine to regulate the body during pregnancy preparation?

1. Do not take Chinese medicine when preparing for pregnancy

Many people believe that Chinese medicine is non-toxic and harmless to the body, but the fact is that “all medicines are three-quarters toxic” comes from traditional Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine emphasizes the mutual promotion and restraint of poison, and using poison to fight poison. The "Inner Canon of Medicine" divides Chinese medicine into highly toxic, moderately toxic, slightly toxic and non-toxic. Basically, all Chinese medicines will cause toxic side effects to the body, so it is a wrong idea to rely on taking important medicines to regulate the body during pregnancy preparation.

2. Some Chinese medicines can cause miscarriage

There are many types of Chinese medicine, many of which are not conducive to pregnancy preparation. Instead, they may cause adverse effects such as infertility or miscarriage. If you have already taken them, it is recommended to postpone the time of pregnancy preparation.

Remember not to take many medicinal herbs during pregnancy preparation, such as Kunming Crabapple, Acanthus annua, Leonurus japonicus, Peganum gracile, Camptotheca acuminata, Sophora japonica flower, Sophora japonica horn, Vaccaria segetalis, Poria, Artemisia capillaris, White Peony Root, arsenic and arsenic compounds, Paclitaxel, Artemisia annua, Acorus calamus, Cyathula officinalis, Safflower, Ferula asafoetida, Curcuma zedoaria, Momordica charantia, Radix Trichosanthis, Flos Lonicerae, and Rhizoma Cyrthospermi.

3. How to prepare for pregnancy

If you have a poor physical condition and often suffer from minor ailments such as headaches, fevers, colds and coughs, then you must first strengthen your exercise. It is recommended that you make a reasonable fitness plan for yourself. It is best to do aerobic exercise, such as running a few laps in the park every morning or evening. This can enhance your immunity and keep various illnesses away from you. Secondly, you need to consume a balanced amount of nutrition. Stop eating junk food such as snacks, barbecue, drinks, etc. Eat three meals a day in a balanced manner, and your body will naturally recover gradually.
