Coix Seed: It is a medicinal and edible substance, and traditional Chinese medicine considers it to have a smooth and slippery nature. Pharmacological experiments have shown that Coix Seed has an excitatory effect on the smooth muscles of the uterus, which may induce miscarriage.
Crab: Crab is delicious, but it has a cold nature and has the function of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. Therefore, it is not beneficial for pregnant women, especially crab claws, which have a significant abortifacient effect.
Turtle: Although it has the effect of nourishing yin and tonifying the kidneys, turtle has a salty and cold nature and has a strong function of promoting blood circulation, dredging collaterals, and dispersing blood stasis. Therefore, it has a certain abortifacient effect, especially turtle shells have a stronger abortifacient effect than turtle meat.
Portulaca: It is both a traditional Chinese medicine and a vegetable that has a cool and slippery nature. Experimental studies have shown that Portulaca juice has a significant excitatory effect on the uterus, increasing the frequency and intensity of uterine contractions, which can easily lead to miscarriage.
In addition, Chinese herbal medicines that have the function of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, such as Hawthorn fruit, Angelica, Chuanxiong, and Sanqi, are easy to induce miscarriage in early pregnancy. It is advisable to use caution and avoid the use of health products and health diets containing such drugs.
