Experienced people know that it is very troublesome for pregnant women to have a fever in the second month, which not only affects the breastfeeding of children, but also is particularly unfavorable for postpartum recovery. If she is careless, she will get sick and suffer for a long time.
The personal experience told by a reader friend is a typical case. She used to be a strong person. After giving birth to the child, the elderly at home were not around, and the people who took care of her were inexperienced, which caused her to have a fever for four times. They also covered her with two big quilts, trying to reduce the fever by sweating. After giving birth, the body is already very weak, and a few more handfuls of sweat will make it weaker. Since then, her health has been getting worse and worse, she began to get fat and got fatty liver, leaving a whole set of problems. My back is very cold, so I have to put a cotton pad on my back in winter. The most serious is the knee, which is as cold as ice all year round, and you should wear thick pants in summer. For many years, she sought medical advice everywhere, which was very painful.
If the maternal body is weak and the diet is a little careless, the cold in the body will easily break out and turn into internal fire, causing local inflammation and even making people start to burn. This friend's persistent fever is caused by this reason.
It was a big mistake for her caregiver to cover her with a quilt to deal with common colds and colds. Chinese medicine says that "sweat and blood are homologous", and sweat is blood. The parturient has already lost too much blood, and no matter how strong she is, she can't stand it.
Such a thing can be avoided if the old cold in the body is removed in time after giving birth.
How? Drink shepherd's purse water only once.
In my mother's words, we can "search for cold", that is, "search" the cold and dampness that has been lurking in the body for a long time and excrete it, so that we can prevent moon sickness and help our body recover. The specific method is this: you can drink water with shepherd's purse and eat together when you are confinement. Use the whole shepherd's purse, the kind with roots. If it's fresh, it's about a catty, and two or three ounces of dry food is enough. Boil the water in the pot, put the whole plant down and cook, fresh for two minutes and dry for seven or eight minutes. It is best to eat soup with vegetables.
This method is suitable for all parturients. After drinking shepherd's purse water in the second month, it is not easy to have a fever, and it can also prevent moon disease.
Remember to eat only once and don't eat too much. Everything should not be overdone.
