The top priority for women during lactation is to nurture their babies. Breast milk is directly related to the health of the baby, and the baby's dependence on breast milk is an unconscious behavior. Babies can only develop and grow rapidly if they have enough to eat and drink. Some mothers have poor physical fitness and may have less milk. Can soaking grass in water help milk?
Can soaking grass in water make milk
The functions and effects of Tongcao include clearing dampness, promoting lactation, relieving pain and discomfort in the main lymphatic system, causing difficulty urinating, edema, jaundice, damp and warm diseases, short and red urine, postpartum milk loss, amenorrhea, vaginal discharge, and inability to produce milk. Generally, they are sold in pharmacies. After returning, you can simply boil water and drink it continuously for a few days, and the effect of milking is very obvious.
In addition to its own lactation function, Tongcao is particularly effective when cooking foods that have lactation effects such as peanut and pig foot soup, crucian carp soup, black fish and loofah soup, and pig trotter soup. Adding some Tongcao to the soup and cooking it together for postpartum women to have lactation effects is especially beneficial.
Other traditional Chinese medicines with lactation effects
Like Tongcao, Dandelion also has a lactation effect and has an impact on female steroid hormones. Dandelion tea can significantly increase the levels of estradiol and progesterone in brain tissue, and has a tendency to increase the level of estradiol in serum, but has no effect on the level of progesterone in serum. Dandelion tea can improve cholesterol levels and increase estrogen levels, thus affecting ovarian function. Dandelion can regulate female endocrine function, have lactation promoting effects, and can also be used for breast swelling caused by poor lactation. Dandelions can be bought as whole plants and boiled for drinking, or dandelion tea can be purchased online and brewed directly for drinking, which is much more convenient without boiling.
There are many traditional Chinese medicines that can help with breastfeeding, and mothers should choose according to their own physical condition. If you are not very familiar with traditional Chinese medicine, it is recommended to consult a doctor at a regular hospital and find a suitable one to take. Regardless of the type of traditional Chinese medicine, long-term use will inevitably have certain side effects. After effective lactation, mothers should stop taking the medication.
