As Sha Ren has the effect of regulating qi and tranquilizing the fetus, it can be taken by pregnant women, but it must be taken under the guidance of a doctor, and should be used with caution by those with yin deficiency and blood dryness (deficiency of yin fluid and dryness and heat in the blood).
Because of its ability to move qi and neutralize the middle, stopping vomiting and stabilizing the fetus, it can be used to treat fetal restlessness, pregnancy obstruction (early pregnancy, nausea and vomiting, dizziness and anorexia, or even vomiting when eating) and other conditions. If there is vomiting in pregnancy and inability to eat, this medicine can be used alone or combined with Atractylodes macrocephala and Perilla stalks.
It can also be combined with Radix Rehmanniae Praeparata, Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae, and Radix et Rhizoma Ginseng to treat qi and blood deficiencies and restlessness of the fetus, which can benefit qi and nourish blood (replenish the body’s qi and blood) to calm the fetus, for example, Tarzan Pansy.
In addition, Sha Ren has the effects of warming the middle and stopping diarrhea, resolving dampness and opening the stomach (normalizing gastrointestinal function by removing dampness), and can be used for conditions such as coldness of the spleen and stomach (spleen and stomach weakness and coldness), dampness in the middle and obstruction of the stomach, epigastric plumpness and hunger, stagnation of qi in the spleen and stomach, vomiting and diarrhea, and other conditions.
As it is pungent and warm, it may help dryness and heat when taken by people with yin deficiency and blood dryness, so it should be taken with caution.
Adverse effects of Ren Xia Ren have not been clarified, need to be taken under the guidance of a doctor, not self-medication.
