Okay, here is the translation following your instructions: Aha, can hui (cornstarch porridge) and shānzhāo shuǐ (hawthorn water) really induce labor?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that during the late stage of pregnancy, it is advisable to consume foods that promote cervical ripening to stimulate uterine contractions. In fact, I have thought that the oxytocin administered to postpartum women in the hospital might contain some of the above food ingredients that can induce contractions.
