What Chinese medicine will definitely cause miscarriage?

There are many types of abortion, including artificial abortion, accidental abortion, and natural abortion. Some Chinese medicines can cause miscarriage. If you don't want this to happen, you need to have a certain understanding of these medicines and be cautious no matter what medicine you use. On the other hand, Fang Min, if you want to use traditional Chinese medicine to induce abortion, it is best not to have such plans. So, what Chinese medicine will definitely cause miscarriage? Let’s take a look below.

1. Saffron can cause miscarriage or even infertility

In palace fighting dramas, if a pregnant concubine drinks a bowl of saffron, it may cause miscarriage or even infertility. In fact, the dosage of saffron that causes miscarriage in pregnant women varies depending on individual physical conditions and the stage of pregnancy. After taking saffron and causing miscarriage, secondary diseases such as fallopian tube blockage, fallopian tube adhesion, menstrual disorders and amenorrhea may occur, leading to infertility.

2. Oleander + cinnamon twig can easily lead to miscarriage

Oleander is easy to grow and has brightly colored flowers, but its leaves, flowers, bark, and fruits all contain a highly toxic substance called oleandrin. Oleander can excite the uterus and enhance uterine contractions after consumption. Pregnant women may become poisoned, drowsy and have reduced intelligence after contact. They may experience nausea and dizziness after consumption, and it is not conducive to the growth and development of the fetus.

Cinnamon twig is an herbal medicine that warms the meridians, dispels cold and unclogs the blood vessels. Although it is not a drug that pregnant women are prohibited from taking, it can cure yin deficiency, hyperactivity of fire, and excessive heat in the blood. Pregnant women who are recovering from a high fever should avoid taking it. If oleander and cinnamon twig are taken together, it is more likely to cause miscarriage.

3. Five Elements Grass Can Cause Slippery Titration

Five Elements Grass is also known as Purslane or Portulaca Oleracea. Purslane is not suitable for everyone to eat. Due to its cold and slippery nature, it is not suitable for consumption in early pregnancy, especially for those with a history of habitual miscarriage. As it is said in Ben Cao Zheng Yi that “it can also enter the blood and resolve blood stasis.” Li Shizhen of the Ming Dynasty also believed that Purslane "disperses blood, reduces swelling, and facilitates bowel movements and abortion."

Modern clinical practice believes that purslane can cause uterine smooth muscle contraction. Therefore, pregnant women should avoid eating purslane, but this is an exception before delivery. Eating more purslane can actually help with normal delivery.

4. Musk can easily induce miscarriage

We need to understand natural musk and artificial musk. Natural musk is the secretion of the glandular sac between the navel and genitals of male musk deer. After drying, it is both a precious spice and a precious medicinal material. In addition to promoting blood circulation and relieving pain, unblocking meridians, opening up the orifices and refreshing the mind, it can also be used to induce labor. Artificial musk is a kind of medicine and pharmaceutical ingredient that can replace natural musk. The musk we come into contact with in daily life is usually artificial musk. The medicinal properties of natural musk are relatively strong and can indeed cause miscarriage in pregnant women. Generally speaking, only pregnant mothers who are immersed in the scent of musk for a long time will have the chance of inducing miscarriage. Occasionally smelling musk perfume or musk ointment will not cause miscarriage, but pregnant mothers are advised not to smell it if possible.
