Brown sugar water can help women discharge lochia during confinement.

Brown sugar originated from ancient Chinese medicine books. Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica records that brown sugar "regulates spleen and soothes liver", "tonifies blood and promotes blood circulation, removes blood stasis and discharges lochia". Traditional Chinese medicine believes that white sugar is too pure and contains almost no trace elements, and its nutritional function is naturally different from that of brown sugar.

Warm brown sugar plays a role in enriching blood through "warming, warming and dispersing". Modern medical research has confirmed that ergonovine is contained in brown sugar, which can promote uterine contraction, help blood stasis, and have the effect of warming uterus. Since ancient times, brown sugar has been a must-have for dew discharge.

Pregnant women are advised to buy special brown sugar for pregnant women. The raw material of brown sugar for pregnant women is old autumn sugarcane, which has more hoarfrost than ordinary sugarcane. Studies have shown that the nutrients contained in the frost on the surface of sugarcane can improve human metabolism.

Question 2: Can I drink brown sugar water every day after confinement? It is good for new mothers to drink more warm brown sugar water every month in the first few days after delivery. Because brown sugar is sweet and warm, it has the effect of warming menstruation and can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. Drinking brown sugar can dispel cold and relieve pain, strengthen the spleen and warm the stomach, which is beneficial to uterine contraction and recovery, discharge postpartum uterine congestion and promote milk secretion. In addition, the new mother consumes a lot of energy and physical strength during childbirth, plus blood loss and breastfeeding after childbirth, so it is necessary to supplement a lot of iron. Brown sugar contains a lot of trace elements such as iron, calcium, manganese and zinc, which is very helpful for new mothers to recover their physical strength. Furthermore, the diuretic effect of brown sugar water can reduce the occurrence of postpartum urinary retention and effectively prevent urinary tract infection.

But drinking brown sugar water for too long is not good for the new mother. Because the present parturients are mostly primiparas, the uterine contraction function is mostly good, and the color and quantity of uterine congestion are generally normal. Drinking brown sugar water for too long will increase the discharge of congestion, lead to chronic hemorrhagic anemia and affect the recovery of uterus. In addition, drinking brown sugar water for a long time is easy to damage maternal teeth and bring obesity problems. If the pregnant women in summer drink too much, they will easily sweat too much and become weak.

Therefore, brown sugar water should not be drunk for a long time. After the postpartum blood deficiency improves, you can stop drinking, usually 7 ~ 10 days. The specific time can vary from person to person and from season to season. People with cold body can drink more for a few days when it is cold. It should be noted that people with red tongue, thin fur, yellow fur, thick fur and hot body should not drink more brown sugar water. People who often spit sour water before delivery should also drink less or not, so as not to increase stomach acid and hurt the stomach. Pregnant women should drink brown sugar water and boil it. Don't use boiled water immediately, because brown sugar is easy to breed bacteria during storage and transportation. In addition, you can also boil eggs with brown sugar, or eat them with longan, which is better.

Boiling brown sugar into brown sugar water is easier to absorb the nutrients in it than eating it directly, and it has the effects of tonifying the middle energizer, strengthening the spleen and stomach and warming the stomach. Brown sugar water is the most common and practical brown sugar health drink in the early days.

Question 3: Do you drink brown sugar water in confinement? Can I drink boiled water? Drink brown sugar. But according to the time and situation, the details are as follows:

Postpartum confinement and lochia discharge: brown sugar water is very helpful for women to discharge lochia during confinement.
