【孕前準備】 是否人人都適合食當歸？
溫補靠當歸？
經常聽到人說要溫補就要食當歸，因為當歸性溫，有補血、活血的作用，對於女性調經、虛寒特別有功效，所以不少想生BB的女性都會選擇多進食當歸，其實你又否合適？《本草綱目》提及過「當歸」這個名字有思夫的含意，是因為這種藥服用後可以會令女性的生育能力有改善，才有這個說法。另外也有「十方九歸」之說，就是說女性的滋補藥方大多都包括了當歸這種被喻為「婦科聖藥」。聖藥雖好，但假如不能與體質相配其實都沒有好處，當歸主治氣血兩虛及體質虛寒，但是有脾胃弱，易有便溏泄瀉的人，以及體質偏熱的人都不適合。當歸亦可與其他滋陰藥材同用，如熟地、何首烏等，都有養血的作用。
當歸﹣性溫，有補血、調經及潤腸功效。適合血虛體質、氣血不足、頭痛、腸燥便秘、女士月經不調、痛經、閉經等症狀。
