Can lactating mothers go to temples?

The concept of the older generation often warns pregnant women not to go into temples randomly, so as not to be disturbed by evil spirits and demons, which may lead to miscarriage. It is also said that children born to pregnant women in temples may be dementia, or even have birthmarks on their faces.

In fact, there are many superstitions that it is not good to be afraid of pregnant women going to temples. But the scientific explanation is that because there are many people in the temple and the air is not good, it is not suitable for pregnant women's activities, especially because the temple is always filled with the smell of incense and the air is not fresh, so it is better to try not to go. Pregnant women should never smell Indian incense, sandalwood and musk. Generally, the first-class incense will contain musk, which is very dangerous for pregnant women. Pure musk will cause abortion just by smelling it. It is clearly pointed out in the Pharmacopoeia that musk is forbidden for pregnant women.

Pregnant women's frequent contact with musk may lead to fetal abortion, or lead to fetal brain development, even deformity. Because musk contains trace toxicity and it has the function of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, it is a traditional Chinese medicine that can cause abortion, so musk is actually very harmful to pregnant women. In order to ensure the safety of the fetus and their own health, pregnant women should try to avoid contact with musk in their lives.

The incense burned by ordinary citizens is cheap and inferior, but the gas released by burning a lot of wood and chemical essence is very harmful to the health of pregnant women and the fetus! It seems that you should try not to go to the temple, or you will definitely smell the fragrance.

Pregnant women who are pregnant for three or four months don't have much difficulty in bowing down, but it will be difficult when they are pregnant for eight or nine months. Therefore, it is also recommended that pregnant women don't go to temples for this reason. If they accidentally affect the fetus in their bellies, it will not be worth the loss. In fact, the potential risk that pregnant women need to worry about most when they go to temples is people. Because most temples with strong incense are crowded, it is easy to cause collisions, and there are many steps in temples, which is very dangerous to pregnant women. In addition, temples are generally located in remote mountains, and it is inevitable to climb mountains on the road. For pregnant women, the amount of exercise is not small. In case of accidents, it is difficult to get timely treatment.

Therefore, whether because of superstition or from a scientific point of view, it is better for pregnant women not to go to temples to worship Buddha and burn incense.
