Corn silk is a Chinese herbal medicine that has the effects of diuresis, relieving stranguria, removing moisture and lowering blood sugar. If you have difficulty urinating, edema, increased blood sugar levels, etc. during pregnancy, you can use corn silk for treatment according to the needs of the condition. The actual time to start using corn silk should be determined according to your own condition. For example, no matter how many months of pregnancy you are, if you have the above symptoms, you can start using corn silk according to the condition. You can make tea or boil it into soup. This medicine is a Chinese herbal medicine and has no side effects on pregnancy. Corn silk water is not necessarily suitable for all pregnant women to drink. It is recommended to consume it effectively under the specific guidance of a doctor. Corn silk has the effect of promoting urination. Therefore, for pregnant women who have significant edema in the lower limbs in the late pregnancy, they can eat it appropriately to help the body promote urination, thereby relieving edema and relieving heart pressure. In addition, corn silk can promote the secretion of bile, thus preventing cholecystitis and jaundice. It can be eaten appropriately in the second half of pregnancy to prevent fetal jaundice. But please note that corn silk is cold in nature and is not suitable for people with weak spleen and stomach. Corn silk has a good effect of removing dampness and reducing swelling. Pregnant women can drink corn silk water, especially those with high blood sugar. Drinking corn silk water has no adverse effects on the healthy growth and development of the fetus, so there is no need to worry too much. You can drink corn silk water in moderation throughout the entire pregnancy period. In addition, pay more attention to rest, balance dietary nutrition, eat more high-quality protein, eat more fruits and vegetables; exercise more, improve resistance, prevent influenza, stay up late as little as possible, prevent fatigue, maintain a happy mood, and have regular prenatal checkups. It is not easy for pregnant women to drink corn silk water to remove fetal toxins, and pregnancy is a unique physiological situation without fetal toxins. There is a term called fetal toxin in folk customs, and it is believed that some methods should be used to expel fetal toxins during pregnancy, but these are not scientifically proven. First, there is no so-called fetal toxin. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is believed that pregnancy will produce a certain amount of toxins that need to be excreted, which is fetal toxin. However, in the modern scientific management system, pregnancy is only regarded as a special physiological condition and will not cause additional harm to women. Second, drinking corn silk water for pregnant women does not have the effect of removing fetal toxins. Not only corn silk water, but other methods such as eating eggs and duck eggs will not remove fetal toxins. Eating these things is just a normal diet and cannot remove fetal toxins. |
