Can pregnant women eat corn boiled water to get rid of fetal toxicity
Corn whisker boiling water is a popular method for the treatment of fetal toxicity. First of all, let's take a look at the above: is it fetal toxin?

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, fetal toxin is internal heat, which is specifically manifested in neonatal scabies, acne rashes, sores and furuncle after the birth of the fetus. The causes of these are related to the internal heat of the mother, too much spicy food during pregnancy, and too much emotional fluctuation.
From the efficacy of corn silk, corn silk has the functions of diuresis, heat clearing, detoxification, promoting bile excretion, preventing cholecystitis and jaundice.

However, corn whisker also has diuretic effect. The use of diuretics during pregnancy will prolong the labor process, uterine fatigue and meconium contaminated amniotic fluid, so pregnant women should not drink too much corn whisker water.
