According to folk belief, if pregnant women do not clear fetal toxins before giving birth, the child is prone to developing sores after birth. However, in medicine, the concept of "fetal toxicity" does not exist. "Fetal toxicity" generally refers to seborrheic skin inflammation in newborns, and the main symptom is that the child develops a rash. During pregnancy, the pregnant woman's diet is not controlled, and excessive consumption of protein rich foods such as large fish and meat, as well as spicy and stimulating foods, fried foods, and excessive consumption of maternity specific milk powder can easily cause internal heat in pregnant women, thus producing "fetal toxicity" in their bodies. Therefore, to prevent fetal toxicity, it is necessary to start with diet. Let's learn about the foods that can be used to eliminate fetal toxicity.
1. Green bean stew with old pigeon soup
This is a traditional Hong Kong soup for removing fetal toxins.
(1) Prepare an old pigeon and handle it properly (if there is no old pigeon, pig liver can be chosen);
(2) Put the processed pigeon and a bowl of mung beans in the pot, add an appropriate amount of water and boil together. Cook for two hours and it will be edible.
Attention: Just drink soup, do not eat meat. You can drink this soup after eight months of pregnancy, either once a week or every two weeks.
2. Ai Ye boiled egg
(1) Prepare goose eggs (eggs and duck eggs are also acceptable) and mugwort leaves (which can be purchased online);
(2) Add a small amount of water and some mugwort leaves to the pot, then put two eggs into the pot and boil them together.
Attention: Eating eggs and soup is enough. You can eat it once every two weeks or once a month, for a total of four times.
3. Corn with silk and boiling water
(1) Prepare an appropriate amount of corn tendrils and clean them thoroughly for later use;
(2) Pour the spare ingredients into the pot and add an appropriate amount of water to cook together. You can also add a little rock sugar.
Attention: It can prevent children from developing jaundice by drinking at least once or twice a week, and it is best to drink more often.
4. Lotus seed boiled eggs
(1) Prepare three showerheads and clean them thoroughly (showerheads can be purchased at the pharmacy);
(2) Put the ingredients into the pot and add four to six bowls of water, then boil for about 30 minutes;
(3) Put the already cooked eggs into the pot and cook for about fifty minutes. If necessary, add a little rock sugar.
Attention: This can also help remove fetal toxins, and the baby born will be whiter.
5. Huanglian Water
(1) You can go to the pharmacy to purchase finished Huanglian tablets;
(2) Just rinse it with boiling water.
Attention: Drinking once a week during the last month of pregnancy can prevent the baby from developing prickly heat after birth.
6. Jasmine flower boiled eggs
(1) First, rinse the dried jasmine flowers thoroughly with water;
(2) Boil eggs, jasmine flowers, and 2 bowls of water together in a pot;
(3) Wait until the eggs are cooked, then add a little rock sugar until it melts.
Attention: It is best to choose relatively refreshing rock sugar. In addition, if the jasmine is boiled for too long, it may be a bit bitter, but it is still within the acceptable range.
7. White Lotus Su Steamed Eggs
(1) You can buy some white lotus Su from the pharmacy and wash it clean;
(2) Boil white lotus root, eggs, and two bowls of water together in a pot for a slightly longer time;
(3) When it's almost time to take it, you can heat the water of Bai Lian Su and add rock sugar.
Attention: White lotus is cooler and more effective than jasmine.
8. Red date water
(1) Prepare seven red dates first and cut them seven times with a knife on each date;
(2) Put the red dates in a pot, add an appropriate amount of water and bring to a boil.
Attention: Drinking continuously for ten days will have an effect.
Finally, it should be noted that pregnant women should not take traditional Chinese medicines such as cinnabar and bezoar in order to pursue the effect of reducing internal heat before giving birth, because cinnabar contains mercury and sulfur, which can cause poisoning in children, and bezoar is too cold. Taking it alone is harmful to the body. In addition, the folk tradition of using goose eggs to detoxify fetuses has been confirmed by experts to be unscientific, as goose eggs are rich in protein. Eating too many goose eggs can lead to an increase in protein and uric acid in pregnant women, which can easily cause gout and increase the burden on their kidneys.
