Guest guest Posted April 29, 2002 Report Share Posted April 29, 2002 Hello All, I was wondering what people think about using Dang Gui during pregnancy. Certainly there are formulas designed to be used during pregnancy that include Dang Gui but research shows that it can induce uterine contractions so some people advise to stay away from it. Thanks in advanced for sharing any experiences. Colleen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 29, 2002 Report Share Posted April 29, 2002 Dear Colleen, I asked exactly that question (also about Chuan Xiong) to Jiling Hu, our gynecology expert at Yo San a week ago, because a colleague asked me, and she said these herbs' relation to blood is really considered " harmonizing the blood " and there is no danger during pregnancy. Many patent formulas to calm the fetus for threatened miscarriage contain these herbs. She suggested no Chuan Xiong in a decoction, but Dang Gui would be all right, and to avoid the " tails.
