Is it feasible to use Heishunpian (Black Prepared Rhubarb) for maintaining pregnancy?

Using Heishun Pian (Black Prepared Rhizome of Aconitum) for pregnancy preservation is generally not advisable. It is recommended to use medications properly under the guidance of a physician. If experiencing any discomfort, it is advised to seek medical attention at a hospital promptly and follow the doctor's instructions for appropriate management.

Heishun Pian has a warm and hot nature. Overuse or use in individuals with unsuitable body constitutions may cause side effects such as excessive internal heat (fire) and dryness, and could even potentially induce miscarriage or premature birth. Particularly for pregnant women with body constitutions characterized by hypertension, yin deficiency with internal heat, or excess heat syndrome, or during the early stages of pregnancy when embryonic implantation is unstable, using Heishun Pian is inappropriate as it may exacerbate internal heat conditions, which is unfavorable for embryonic development.

Pregnancy preservation refers to taking measures to protect the health and development of the fetus within the uterus, preventing situations such as miscarriage or premature birth. During the process of pregnancy preservation, doctors typically tailor appropriate medications and treatment methods according to the specific condition of the pregnant woman, and will inform the patient about necessary precautions and contraindications during this period.

In daily life, pregnant women should also maintain healthy lifestyle habits and a positive mindset to ensure the healthy development of the fetus.
