Contraindications for using motherwort

　　Motherwort is a herb that can promote blood circulation, regulate menstruation, diuresis and reduce swelling. It is a special medicine for treating gynecological diseases. Let’s take a look at the contraindications for using motherwort. We hope it will be helpful to you.

　　Motherwort is the young stems and leaves of Motherwort, a plant of the Lamiaceae family. The tender stems and leaves of motherwort contain various nutrients such as protein and carbohydrates. Motherwort tastes bitter and cool. It has the functions of activating blood circulation, regulating menstruation, diuresis and reducing swelling, and is an important medicine for women suffering from postpartum diseases. Motherwort must also be used symptomatically to be effective. Traditional Chinese medicine teaches that "different diseases can be treated with the same treatment", which means that any disease such as irregular menstruation, dysmenorrhea, amenorrhea, postpartum abdominal pain caused by congestion and congestion can be treated with motherwort. The main symptoms of congestion include blood clots during menstruation, abdominal pain, and petechiae on the tongue.

　　However, the active ingredients of motherwort have an exciting effect on the uterus and can contract the uterus, so it should be avoided during pregnancy. Currently, there are many dosage forms containing motherwort on the market, such as motherwort ointment, motherwort granules, motherwort tablets, etc. The active ingredients of various medicines are different, so patients should take the medicine under the guidance of a doctor, depending on the specific medicine and the changes in the condition.

　　Common syndrome types of oligomenorrhea include blood deficiency, kidney deficiency, blood stasis, etc. If the menstrual blood volume is light and the color is light, accompanied by fatigue, lack of energy, sallow complexion, pale lips, or a feeling of emptiness in the lower abdomen, it is mostly blood deficiency. If it is accompanied by cold pain in the lower abdomen, or waist pain, or excessive nocturia, it is mostly due to kidney deficiency. If menstrual flow is light, dark red in color, has blood clots, and is often accompanied by abdominal pain, it is mostly blood stasis type. If patients with blood deficiency or kidney deficiency use motherwort, it will damage their righteousness. Not only will they not be able to cure the disease, but they may aggravate the symptoms. What are the contraindications for the use of motherwort? When choosing motherwort for blood stasis type oligomenorrhea, you should pay attention to the fact that long-term use of this medicine will damage the healthy energy, and it needs to be "stopped immediately". That is, once the menstrual flow improves, do not continue to take it.

　　In addition, when taking motherwort medicines, be careful not to take them with the following medicines, and should not be used with epinephrine. Motherwort has antihypertensive properties and can reduce or even reverse the effects of epinephrine. It should be used together with isoproterenol. Motherwort increases coronary flow, slows heart rate, and can antagonize the cardiac excitatory effects of the beta-receptor agonist isoproterenol. It should not be used together with atropine. Reduce the antihypertensive effect of motherwort.

　　The above content mainly introduces in detail the contraindications for the use of motherwort. I would like to remind everyone that when choosing motherwort to treat diseases, it must be taken under the guidance of a doctor.
