The benefits of drinking saffron during postpartum lactation
It is a normal physiological phenomenon for women to breastfeed after childbirth. Chinese medicine believes that milk is the metaplasia of blood and the yin blood of human body. The continuous loss of milk during lactation will make women's body in a state of relative lack of qi and blood, thus affecting women's health. Saffron can invigorate qi and nourish blood, promote milk secretion, and drink saffron during postpartum lactation.

Tonifying qi and blood

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that blood and milk are homologous, and saffron is the best tonic for enriching blood and nourishing blood, which can regulate the body from the inside, enrich women's blood and promote the secretion and quality of milk.

Promote milk secretion

Therefore, it is very good to use saffron during postpartum and lactation, which can not only regulate the body, nourish health and beauty, but also promote milk secretion.

Promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis

Another function of saffron is to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, which can promote the discharge of blood stasis in the body.

Drinking method

The method of drinking saffron after childbirth and lactation is to soak 5- 10 saffron filaments in water every time, and then continue to drink water for about 3 times before eating together.

Matters needing attention

1, if it is cesarean section, you need to wait for the wound to recover before using saffron. Because saffron has a good effect on promoting blood circulation, it may affect the healing of the wound, so wait until the wound recovers before using saffron.

2. Women who give birth naturally can use saffron after the month. Please consult a doctor when using saffron during the second month.

3. If there is menstruation during lactation, saffron is prohibited during menstruation.
