Motherwort has always been an important drug to treat female diseases, such as postpartum lochia, irregular menstruation, dysmenorrhea and so on. Motherwort has the effects of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, relieving pain, benefiting qi, and clearing away heat and toxic materials. Many mothers who discharge lochia after delivery will drink motherwort granules to promote lochia discharge and contract the uterus. In addition, mothers who discharge lochia after delivery can also drink motherwort to continue to strengthen uterine contraction and improve tension and contraction rate.
However, motherwort is a cool plant. Excessive consumption and long-term consumption are not good for women with heart disease, hypertension, diabetes and body cold and weakness, but only increase their kidney burden and make their body cold and weakness more serious. Therefore, pregnant women with heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, cold and weakness can stop drinking motherwort when lochia is discharged cleanly. At the same time, stopping drinking motherwort is not harmful to your health.
In addition, the dosage and method of taking motherwort should follow the doctor's advice. At the same time, during taking motherwort, you must avoid cold, spicy and irritating food.
