Masalah obat untuk ibu hamil, dimanapun dokter pasti akan menyarankan untuk tidak minum jamu ataupun tidak diperkenankan untuk pijat. Dan kalaupun ada yang tdk berkeinginan utk mengkonsumsi jamu itupun tidak masalah toh kepercayaan orang juga berbeda2. Akan tetapi pengalaman dari saya sendiri berikut 3 orang kakak kandung saya, tidak ada buruknya jika kita minum jamu yang hanya untuk adhem-adheman / jamu segeran, misal, beras kencur, Sinom. Adapun jamu laenpun juga banyak misalnya untuk kekuatan otot-otot rahim, pencegah bau amis pada darah, bayi dan si ibu, dan semua memang terbukti kasiyatnya, lagi pula obat tradisional tidak mengandung bahan kimia ataupun pengawet yang sedikit banyak pasti berpengaruh pada ibu hamil / janin. ----- Original Message ----- From: Rien <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, December 08, 2000 10:03 AM Subject: [balita-anda] Herbs can have many health effects > Bincang2 ttg. obat2an pada ibu hamil, saya sendiri punya pendapat yang > agak berbeda. > Jika hamil, saya lebih memilih minum obat dari dokter jika memang perlu, > dengan pertimbangan dokter yang memberi obat pasti sudah tahu obat2an > apa yg. tidak boleh utk. ibu hamil.
