Leonurus japonicus, also known as Cao Kun, Hedysarum heptaphyllum, Mica grass and Sandy, belongs to Leonurus of Labiatae. Its fresh products are collected from spring seedling stage to early summer flowering stage; Dry products are harvested and dried in summer when the stems and leaves are lush and the flowers are not in bloom or just in bloom, or cut into sections and dried. Widely distributed throughout the country. According to Compendium of Materia Medica, the roots, stems, flowers, leaves and fruits of Leonurus japonicus are all used as medicine. Adjust women's meridians, treat swelling, toxic sores and ulcers, diuretic and detumescence. Motherwort is generally used in combination with other traditional Chinese medicines, such as promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, angelica sinensis, diuresis and detumescence, cogongrass rhizome and so on.

Although motherwort is obviously beneficial to women from the name, these three types of women should try not to use it:

1. Leonurus japonicus, a pregnant woman under full term, has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and can also promote diuresis and eliminate edema. Proper administration can also stimulate uterine smooth muscle. But pregnant women are different from ordinary women, so pregnant women should not eat motherwort, because motherwort mainly contains leonurine A, B, stachydrine and oleic acid, which can significantly enhance the lasting contraction and tension of uterine muscles. However, this continuous contraction and tension will reduce the blood supply of placenta, accelerate the delivery of embryos, increase the risk of miscarriage in early pregnancy, and premature delivery will occur in late pregnancy. Moreover, pregnant women are not suitable for eating foods that promote blood circulation, otherwise it will also hurt fetal qi, so pregnant women can't eat motherwort to avoid accidents.

2. Motherwort, a female in physiological period, is a Chinese patent medicine with the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. During the physiological period, women themselves are in a state of blood loss, and motherwort is a drug that promotes blood circulation, so it is naturally inedible. Otherwise, it will increase menstrual flow, leading to female physical discomfort or anemia. However, if there is a small amount during menstruation, you can choose to take motherwort moderately, because it can promote uterine contraction and uterine recovery.

3. Female Chinese medicine practitioners with spleen deficiency and cold constitution believe that motherwort tastes bitter, pungent and slightly cold. Motherwort itself is a medicine for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. Promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis will consume gas at the same time. People with severe physical weakness should not eat motherwort alone. Otherwise, it will hurt the healthy qi, which will not only cure the disease, but may aggravate the symptoms. ?

Although motherwort is called? Woman's grass? However, there are some taboos. Please follow the doctor's advice when taking motherwort.
