Excessive liver fire in pregnant women mainly manifests as symptoms such as bitter taste in the mouth, dry throat, red eyes, and irritability. These symptoms may be related to hormonal changes during pregnancy, emotional fluctuations, and improper diet. Management should consider both maternal and fetal health, and the following approaches are recommended:
1. Dietary adjustment: Eat more light, fiber-rich foods such as fresh vegetables and fruits. Avoid spicy, greasy foods and reduce sugar intake.
2. Emotional regulation: Avoid emotional fluctuations and maintain a balanced mindset. Appropriate exercise, meditation, deep breathing, or engaging in enjoyable activities may help relax the body and relieve stress.
3. Moderate exercise: Mild physical activities such as walking or yoga can help regulate emotions and promote blood circulation.
4. Adequate hydration: Drinking sufficient water daily helps the body eliminate toxins and alleviate symptoms of excessive liver fire.
5. Sufficient sleep: Ensure adequate rest to support physical recovery and emotional stability.
6. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) regulation: Under a physician's guidance, herbal teas made from ingredients such as honeysuckle, gardenia, and skullcap may help relieve symptoms of excessive liver fire. However, it is essential to seek treatment from qualified hospitals and licensed practitioners.
