Patient's question:
Doctor, hello!The baby is about to be born. I heard that newborns can consume rhino horn to clear placental toxins. Is this statement correct? Additionally, if it is possible to consume it, when is the best time to start? How should it be consumed? What is the appropriate amount?
Thank you
Doctor's answer:
Children have a pure yang constitution, and they are prone to heat and phlegm-heat. When this condition threatens their lives, this medicine can be used. Take 0.1--0.15 grams of calcined bezoar, mix it with ground cinnamon bark and ground licorice, and take it with honey. This method is somewhat similar to using An Gong Ni Huang Wan to rescue critically ill patients with severe heat-phlegm congestion. However, this medicine should not be used on children unless they have a serious illness, as it may harm them. Never act smartly on your own.
