Patient's question:
My friend had a miscarriage a few weeks ago. The doctor said it was because she drank too much motherwort. I want to consult about how many days of drinking motherwort can lead to a miscarriage?Doctor's answer:
During pregnancy, it is strictly forbidden to consume motherwort, as it promotes uterine contractions. However, the risk of miscarriage caused by motherwort varies from person to person and is not standardized—it does not necessarily lead to miscarriage after consuming it for a few days. During pregnancy, it is important to eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as foods high in protein and vitamins, while minimizing the intake of medications that may affect fetal growth and development.
