Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Can pregnant women drink Angelica sinensis soup?Doctor's answer:
Angelica sinensis has both blood-nourishing and blood-activating functions, and for the uterus, it possesses both excitatory and inhibitory effects on uterine smooth muscles. However, pregnant women should take supplements under the guidance of a doctor. Headache, dizziness, blurred vision, palpitations, fatigue, pale complexion, thin and weak pulse, which are caused by blood deficiency, are most suitable for the use of angelica. The famous Angelica Blood-Nourishing Decoction is composed of angelica and astragalus. If added with Codonopsis pilosula and red dates, the efficacy of nourishing qi and blood is even stronger. Angelica is also a key herb in gynecology because it not only nourishes blood but also activates blood, making it most suitable for treating menstrual disorders in women.
