Longan, also known as longan and longan pulp, has the effects of nourishing the heart and spleen, nourishing blood and calming the nerves, promoting fluid production and moistening the five internal organs, and is a good tonic. So many women like to eat longan after pregnancy, which not only has nourishing effect, but also tastes good. However, they only know one and don't know the other.
Longan is sweet and warm, which is not suitable for people with phlegm disease and fever, especially pregnant women. The reason is that after pregnancy, most women will have symptoms of yin deficiency and internal heat, such as dry stool, short and red urine, bitter taste and dry throat.
If longan is used for tonic at this time, not only can it not produce tonic effect, but it will increase internal heat, causing bleeding, red leakage, abdominal pain, abdominal distension, and even serious tire gas, leading to miscarriage. Especially within 8 months of pregnancy, it is taboo.
However, when pregnant women have the following situations during and after delivery, they can consider:
(1) Pregnant women consume a lot of physical strength during childbirth, and pregnant women with weak constitution often have weakness of hands and feet, dizziness and sweating during childbirth. At this time, drinking longan soup (longan-based, with red dates, brown sugar, ginger and boiled water) is conducive to increasing physical strength, stabilizing emotions and helping childbirth.
(2) When pregnant women have symptoms such as dizziness, sweating, thready pulse and pale tongue, taking a bowl of longan soup at this time can play a very good role in benefiting qi and nourishing blood. If the parturient has slight edema, drinking this soup often has a positive therapeutic effect.
Longan is a commonly used food or medicine in daily life, but it can't be eaten casually even in daily life. Chinese medicine believes that longan is a tonic for nourishing the heart, calming the nerves, nourishing blood and benefiting the spleen. However, longan is sweet and warm, and anyone with yin deficiency and internal heat constitution should not eat longan.
However, most women are yin deficiency and blood deficiency after pregnancy, and yin deficiency breeds internal heat, so pregnant women often have symptoms such as dry stool and dry mouth. Chinese medicine has always advocated clearing heat and cooling blood before pregnancy. Longan is warm and hot. Pregnant women can not only prevent miscarriage, but also have threatened abortion symptoms such as red leakage and abdominal pain. According to statistics, such patients account for more than 90% of the total number of threatened abortions. Abortion can still be avoided if longan is stopped in time and Chinese medicine is taken.
Conclusion If you are pregnant, or your relatives and friends are expectant mothers, you must remind her to pay attention to her daily diet.
