Can pregnant women drink red ginseng?
Red ginseng is a tonic for colds. Whether you can eat red ginseng during confinement depends on the actual physique of the parturient. If the parturient belongs to the constitution of yin deficiency and fire flourishing, then you can eat some red ginseng in moderation to regulate your body. Red ginseng is cold in nature and has the effects of nourishing yin and benefiting qi, promoting fluid production and moistening dryness. It is very suitable for pregnant women with yin deficiency and fire in the second month, which can promote faster recovery.

However, if the maternal body is cold due to yang deficiency, it is not suitable for eating red ginseng. Because red ginseng itself has the effect of clearing fire and reducing dryness, eating some red ginseng in the second month will lead to more deficiency and cold, which is not conducive to the recovery of maternal body. If pregnant women with this constitution eat red ginseng rashly, it will lead to more deficiency-cold constitution, and may even lead to illness of pregnant women that month.

For those pregnant women with yang deficiency and cold body, it is more suitable to eat some foods that tonify yang, such as beef and mutton, rabbit meat and dog meat. And you can also eat some angelica and medlar in moderation. If the economic strength is ok, it is recommended to eat some nourishing Chinese herbal medicines such as velvet antler and ganoderma lucidum.
