hi! curious if something like this can be safely given/ or modified for someone who is about 27 weeks pregnant? I run very cold and have iron challenges, being mostly plant based and I’d love some guidance there. my mother has the same challenges with paleness/ chilliness/ being thinner etc.
Hello krystal, this isn't a formula typically used during pregnancy, partly because of the strength of one of its defining herbs, Evodia (wuzhuyu in Chinese). There are other, safer formulas that might be appropriate, such as a Danggui Shaoyao San modification, but I would need to know more about the situation to say with confidence. If you're open to eating some meat, however, it does seem clear that you and your baby stand to benefit from dishes like lamb stew, which strongly warms and nourishes the blood.
This is fascinating, Jonathan. Thank you.
