There are many types of plants and flowers in China that are good Chinese herbs. Among them, cloves and osmanthus flowers are often used to make tea and have different effects on hemorrhoids or coughs because they have different types of warming and dispelling cold effects. So, can pregnant women drink cloves and osmanthus flowers?
1. You can eat osmanthus flowers. Osmanthus itself has a very mild nature, and for many people with stomach cold diseases, it also has the effect of warming the stomach and relieving pain. For pregnant women, moderate consumption of osmanthus can nourish the heart and lungs, regulate the central nervous system, and have a good effect on dispelling odors in the mouth. Therefore, drinking osmanthus is a good choice for pregnant women.
2. Don't eat lilacs. Lilac is recorded in ancient Chinese books as having good kidney tonifying and yang promoting effects, as well as warming the stomach and uterus. However, it is not suitable for women during pregnancy because lilac is a spicy seasoning that can easily cause internal heat, increase constipation or oral ulcers.
3. Eat in moderation. In addition to cloves, which can cause more dampness and heat in the body of pregnant women, it is necessary to avoid eating them. Osmanthus flowers should also be consumed in moderation. In daily life, there are ways to consume osmanthus flowers, such as osmanthus cake and osmanthus tea, which can warm the stomach and drive away cold. However, pregnant women should try to consume more comprehensive nutrients and not eat too single.
