Can pregnant women drink thatch root?

The root of the plant is used as a medicinal herb known as leucaena leucocephala, and there is no authoritative information indicating that pregnant women are not allowed to drink it, so in general, if you can strictly follow the doctor’s instructions for medication, pregnant women are allowed to drink leucaena leucocephala. It is good at clearing heat and diuretic, cooling blood and stopping bleeding (making the blood cool and moist and preventing bleeding), and belongs to the stomach, lung and bladder meridians. It is suitable for conditions such as heat drenching (burning and stinging pain is obvious when urinating, accompanied by frequent urination and urgency, and discomfort of pulling in the small abdomen) and astringent passages, blood-heat and spitting out of blood, oedema with little urination, heat diseases with irritable thirst and damp-heat and jaundice. Since the Chinese Pharmacopoeia and other authoritative sources do not specify that pregnant women can not drink this Chinese medicine, so for pregnant women who meet the symptoms, usually can be used under the guidance of a doctor. Clinically, leucaena leucocephala is often combined with ginseng, dihuang, poria, kudzu and yin chen. Its adverse effects and contraindications are not clear, and it should be noted that this drug is cold and sweet in nature, and should not be used by patients who suffer from coldness of the spleen and stomach (spleen and stomach weakness and coldness), or who have excessive urination and thirst. If you need to use Bai Mao Gen, it is recommended to use it under the guidance of a professional Chinese medicine practitioner, and should not be used on its own.
