There is a folk custom of boiling water with wormwood, ginger bark and Spatholobus suberectus to bathe the parturient. Can these things be used, and how to use them?

I recommend some effective prescriptions here, which can achieve the effect of cleaning the body, promote blood circulation throughout the body and relieve neuromuscular fatigue.

Ginger soup: ginger 150g, washed, broken (keep ginger skin), put into a pot, add appropriate amount of water, fry Jiang Shui for 20~ 0ml, and wash your hair when it is warm (it is not allowed to add cold water to adjust the temperature). Can be used after delivery 1 week, when sweating is excessive, the hair is stained with sweat, and the head is clean.

It is believed that ginger can dispel wind, cold and head wind. Pharmacological research also found that the aromatic volatile oil of ginger can promote peripheral blood circulation, and after washing your hair, you will feel that your head and even your whole body are warm. Experiments show that ginger filtrate can effectively control staphylococcus and salmonella, and also inhibit skin fungi.

Soak wormwood in water ~ 500g fresh wormwood in May, wash it, and put it in a pot and fry it in water (enough for bathing). Take a hot bath. This liquid is suitable for bathing for 6 weeks after delivery.

According to the book, wormwood can "benefit Yin Qi, promote muscle growth and keep out the cold". Modern pharmacological studies have found that the stems and leaves of Artemisia argyi contain aromatic oil, which has inhibitory effects on many bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus, hemolysis, Escherichia coli, typhoid Bacillus, Proteus and so on. The study also found that the volatile oil in Artemisia argyi leaves has a slight effect on the skin, which can dilate blood vessels, make the skin hot and flush, and thus make the body feel warm.

Decoction of Radix Sophorae Flavescentis, Rhizoma Smilacis Glabrae and Flos Chrysanthemi Indici: decoct 30g of Radix Sophorae Flavescentis, Rhizoma Smilacis Glabrae and Flos Chrysanthemi Indici together into concentrated solution. This decoction can be used for bathing in postpartum 1~2 weeks. It is especially suitable for patients with birth canal wound.

According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, Sophora flavescens can clear away heat, dry dampness and kill insects, which can be used for external treatment of trichomoniasis. Smilax glabra can clear away heat, promote diuresis, remove turbidity and detoxify, and can be used for syphilis and inflammation. Chrysanthemum indicum can clear away heat and toxic materials, inhibit bacteria, and treat furuncle and toxic swelling. Therefore, the decoction can clear away heat and dry dampness, detoxify, kill insects and relieve itching, which can not only clean the skin, but also benefit the body.

Warm reminder of postpartum bathing

Warm water at 45 degrees Celsius is the most suitable bath water. After taking a shower, dry your body quickly and get dressed to avoid catching cold.

◎ After washing your hair, dry it as soon as possible, or dry it with a hair dryer. Don't sleep before drying.

◎ After the parturient takes a bath, be careful not to blow the mouth to avoid catching cold.
