Is pregnancy drinking safflower will lead to miscarriage?

Patient's question:

Three months pregnant, I accidentally drank honghua (carthamus tinctorius) tea this morning. Will drinking honghua during pregnancy cause a miscarriage?

Doctor's answer:

Honeysuckle has the effect of invigorating blood and removing blood stasis. It is generally recommended not to use it during pregnancy. You are currently three months pregnant. If you have consumed honeysuckle, just in the form of a decoction with a low concentration, and there has been no bleeding, it is usually not a major issue. You can focus on careful observation while also resting as much as possible and increasing your physical activity. In the future, avoid drinking honeysuckle decoction, and it is necessary to have regular prenatal check-ups at the hospital. You can take calcium supplements under the guidance of a doctor.
