Boiling loquat in water has the effect of relieving cough, so some people use loquat soaked in water to relieve cough.

So, can pregnant women drink wild loquat soaked in water?
Pregnant women can drink wild loquat soaked in water, but it should be consumed in small amounts. Because loquat leaves contain saponins, ursolic acid, and other substances, excessive intake by pregnant women may cause abdominal pain and diarrhea. Pregnant women with stomach cold are not suitable to drink loquat water.
It is best for pregnant women to drink wild loquat soaked water after eating. Drinking loquat water on an empty stomach may increase the burden on the digestive system, and loquat leaves also contain some calcium oxalate, which is not suitable for fasting intake. Otherwise, it can cause calcium oxalate precipitation and lead to constipation in pregnant women.
Pregnant women can drink some wild loquat infused water in moderation, which not only has the effect of reducing phlegm and cough, but also has the effect of clearing heat and relieving summer heat. Therefore, when pregnant women cough and vomit, they can drink some wild loquat infused water. In addition, pregnant mothers who drink loquat water will absorb amygdalin from loquat leaves. After being absorbed by the body, this substance can have anti-cancer and analgesic effects. Finally, pregnant women can also apply boiled loquat leaves to their breasts, which can not only eliminate breast lumps but also prevent cancer.
