每個孕婦都要「清胎毒」？
經常聽到有大肚媽媽們問在懷孕後期如何「清胎毒」，以免令熱毒傳到孩子身上，防止BB皮膚生瘡發疹。很多孕婦很怕熱，這是因為胎兒屬「元陽之軀」，猶如托著一個小暖爐，怎會不熱呢？但感覺熱不代表你有胎毒，除非你體內偏熱症狀明顯。經常熬夜、多吃油膩煎炸重口味食物、嗜食辛辣而常見心情暴躁、暗瘡、口瘡口氣、喉乾口渴，尿黃便秘等症狀，就有需要適量的為身體清熱清胎毒，更穩妥的當然是找醫師先看看。假如你根本沒有這些偏熱症狀，或體質本身偏寒涼、虛弱，就更談不上「清胎毒」，皆因胎毒根本不存在，假如無的放矢，反傷母子正氣。身體有熱時，可適量服用西瓜、冬瓜、粟米鬚茶等涼性食材，利用食材的偏性，將身體偏熱症狀糾正過來。大肚媽媽最重要還是要放鬆心情，不要道聽途說，盲目跟從人家清胎毒。
Check your body constitution before clearing fetal toxicity.
Often times, pregnant ladies would ask how they can clear ‘fetal toxicity’ in the later stages of pregnancy to prevent the heat pathogens from affecting the baby and causing issues such as eczema and heat rash. A lot of pregnant ladies have aversion to heat because the baby is ‘body of primordial yang’ and it is as if you are carrying a little heater around. Feeling hot, however, does not mean you have fetal toxicity unless you are experiencing true heat-like symptoms and habits. Frequent late nights, eating a lot of greasy, fried and strong flavored foods, irritability caused by having spicy food, pimples, canker sores, bad breath, dry throat, excessive thirst, yellowish urine are all signs you should clear heat and fetal toxicity accordingly. However, the correct approach would be to consult a Chinese medicine practitioner first. If you are not experiencing any of these heat-like symptoms or already have an asthenic cold body constitution to begin with, then the talks about fetal toxicity are not needed as it does not exist in your body. Furthermore, if you attempt to clear something that does not exist in your body, you could hurt your own and the baby’s vital energy.
When you experience heat in your body, trying eating appropriate amounts of cold-natured foods such as watermelon, winter melon, corn slik. Use the nature of foods to try to correct the heat in your body. The most important thing for pregnant ladies is still to relax and try not to listen to common hearsay and blindly follow others to clear fetal toxicity.
