Many pregnant women are still obedient and do not drink carbonated or colored drinks. However, because boiled water has little taste, many pregnant women choose to drink flower tea instead. However, drinking flower tea during pregnancy is still very important because different types of flowers have different effects, and some are still not suitable to drink.
Can I drink saffron during pregnancy preparation?
Pregnant women should not take it. Through many palace dramas, we have learned that taking saffron during pregnancy has a miscarriage effect. So, women who are pregnant or preparing to conceive should not take saffron. Saffron is mainly used as an abortion pill in Chinese folk culture and has been in use for a very long time. However, it should be noted that saffron only increases the probability of miscarriage, but it does not have contraceptive effects. Therefore, saffron should not be used as a contraceptive pill. In addition, women who have given birth are very suitable for taking saffron, which has the effect of nourishing blood after childbirth.
What should I pay attention to when drinking saffron?
1. Pay attention to side effects. Excessive or inappropriate consumption of saffron can easily lead to side effects. Experts suggest that some people who do not have symptoms of blood stasis should not take saffron infused water frequently, otherwise it may cause skin ulcers and bleeding, which is not conducive to their health.
2. Do not take saffron excessively. Experts suggest that the amount of saffron taken at a time should not exceed ten grams, otherwise it will have adverse effects on the body. This is because saffron has a strong effect on the nervous system after entering the body, and has a certain excitatory effect. So, if we take a large amount of saffron, it can easily lead to overexcitement of the nerves, causing symptoms such as dizziness and insomnia. Some people with sensitive bodies may also experience symptoms such as rash and allergic urticaria.
3. Saffron fraud. There are many counterfeit saffron products on the market now, which only have a similar appearance to saffron but do not have these health promoting effects. If you take these fake saffron, not only will it fail to maintain your health, but it may also lead to other serious illnesses. So when buying saffron in daily life, it is important to pay attention to selection and differentiation, and never be tempted to buy saffron without production labels at a low price.
So, in order to avoid the imagined miscarriage caused by taking saffron like in TV dramas, pregnant women should still be more careful not to take saffron or anything related to saffron. And others should also be careful not to drink saffron excessively, otherwise it will have the opposite effect and be harmful to the body.
