Can women drink Xia Sang Ju during early pregnancy?

Pregnancy refers to gestation. In early pregnancy, women can generally drink Xià Sāng Jú (a traditional Chinese herbal formula). The detailed analysis is as follows:

Xià Sāng Jú is a purely herbal preparation that has the effects of clearing liver heat, improving eyesight, dispelling wind, and relieving fever. It is primarily used to treat symptoms such as wind-heat感冒 (common cold), sore throat, and boils. Pregnant women in early pregnancy who suffer from wind-heat感冒 can usually take Xià Sāng Jú under medical guidance, which typically has minimal impact on fetal development. However, if a pregnant woman in early pregnancy has wind-cold感冒, she should avoid taking it. During consumption, one should refrain from eating raw, cold, greasy, or spicy foods, and should not concurrently take tonic Chinese herbs. Pregnant women with hypertension, heart disease, diabetes, kidney disease, or other conditions may take Xià Sāng Jú under medical supervision to prevent adverse reactions. If symptoms do not significantly improve within three days of taking Xià Sāng Jú during early pregnancy, prompt medical evaluation is necessary. Long-term use of Xià Sāng Jú during early pregnancy by women with a constitution characterized by deficiency and coldness may impair yang energy and damage the spleen and stomach, potentially leading to symptoms of spleen and lung qi deficiency such as fatigue, excessive sweating, frequent colds, and weak pulse. It is recommended that pregnant women get adequate rest during early pregnancy to avoid fatigue, drink plenty of water, consume more fruits and vegetables, undergo timely prenatal check-ups, seek medical attention promptly if abnormalities are detected, and supplement with folic acid and other nutrients.
