Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
From the perspective of Traditional Chinese Medicine, crabs are salty in flavor and slightly cold in nature. They can help repair tendons and bones, promote blood circulation and dispel blood stasis, alleviate dampness and reduce jaundice, as well as detoxify from lacquer poisoning. Therefore, it is recommended to dip them in ginger juice when eating them regularly. If this claim holds true, then pregnant women should be cautious about eating crabs and avoid consuming too many.
