How to deal with excessive internal heat during pregnancy

To ensure the health of both mother and child during pregnancy, the following measures should be taken to relieve excessive internal heat: 1. Dietary adjustment: Eat more light, easily digestible foods such as fresh vegetables, fruits, and whole grains. Avoid consuming spicy, greasy, and fried foods, which may be irritating. Consume in moderation foods with bitter taste, such as bitter melon and lily bulbs, which have a cooling effect and can help relieve heat. 2. Increase fluid intake: Drink plenty of water to maintain the body's fluid balance, which can help reduce internal heat. 3. Maintain a reasonable schedule: Develop good sleeping habits and avoid staying up late or overexertion. 4. Massage: Massage acupoints known for their heat-reducing properties, such as the Hegu point (LI4) and the Quchi point (LI11), to alleviate symptoms of excessive internal heat. 5. Emotional regulation: Maintain a positive mindset and avoid significant emotional fluctuations, as these may also contribute to excessive internal heat. If symptoms of excessive internal heat persist for a prolonged period, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly.
