Patient's question:
Medical history (onset time, main symptoms, changes in symptoms, etc.): Can I use mugwort to soak my feet during pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Hello, I'm glad to help you with your questions. mugwort foot baths have a warming effect and can treat coldness, numbness, and pain in the lower limbs or feet. They can also treat wind-cold type colds, relieving symptoms such as runny nose, sore throat, and body aches. mugwort foot baths can also help dispel internal heat. They can treat skin conditions, such as the skin leakage and itching caused by eczema. However, pregnant women should not use it. mugwort can cause uterine contractions after use, which may pose a threat to the fetus.
