Postpartum conditioning, with the changes of the body, TCM conditioning at various stages is also different. I have compiled relevant knowledge for you below, hoping it will be useful to you.

Postpartum Chinese medicine conditioning

1 period: postpartum 1 week represents the prescription: huasheng decoction.

Materials: The basic prescriptions are angelica sinensis, processed ginger, Ligusticum chuanxiong, peach kernel, fried licorice and other traditional Chinese medicines, which are increased or decreased according to individual differences. The purpose of using Shenghua Decoction is to eliminate lochia smoothly, regulate uterine contraction and prevent puerperal infection. Zhou Yanjun said that the natural delivery person can start taking it 3 days after delivery, or after taking the western medicine for uterine contraction, one dose a day, about 5-7 doses, until the lochia is grayish yellow and slightly pink. Spontaneous abortion depends on physique and conditions to decide whether to take it.

Many pregnant women think that it is extremely wrong to drink biochemical soup during the whole confinement period. Shenghua decoction is used to eliminate lochia, so stop taking medicine after achieving the goal. Excessive use is not good, but it is easy to produce endless sequelae of lochia. Please be careful.

The second stage: invigorating spleen, eliminating dampness, astringing, tonifying kidney, strengthening tendons, benefiting qi and nourishing blood. The second week after delivery, the representative prescription: Buzhong Yiqi Decoction, Shen Ling Baizhu Powder, complementary food: appropriate amount of sesame-oil chicken.

In the second week after delivery, the reason why we focus on strengthening the spleen, eliminating dampness and collecting astringency is that we hope to take good care of mommy's gastrointestinal function first, and then absorb it after follow-up tonic; Secondly, in order to accelerate the elimination of excess water in the body, the prescription for regulating the spleen and stomach has the effect of invigorating qi at the same time, which is suitable for pregnant women at this stage. As for drugs for invigorating qi and blood, such as Bazhen Decoction and Shiquan Dabu Decoction, most of them are warm and dry, and it is also good to use them in the second week in advance. However, lochia is not clear or the body is hot and dry, which may have side effects. It is recommended to wait until the third week.

In terms of food supplement, it is necessary to supplement deficiency after delivery, but it should not be too hot and dry. If the wound has healed smoothly in the second week after delivery, Mommy can take a proper amount of sesame oil chicken. It takes a long time for caesarean section wounds to recover. In order to avoid inflammation of the wound, alcohol should be forbidden when cooking.

Stage 3.4: invigorating qi and nourishing blood

3.4 weeks after delivery

Representative prescription 1: Bazhen decoction

Materials: Four things * * * Angelica sinensis, Ligusticum Chuanxiong, Radix Paeoniae Alba, Radix Rehmanniae Preparata * * * Fourteen Jun, etc. * * * Codonopsis pilosula, Poria, Atractylodes macrocephala and Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch * * * represents Formula 2: Shiquan Dabu Decoction.

Ingredients: Siwu Decoction+Sijunzi Decoction+Radix Astragali and Cortex Cinnamomi.

From the third week after delivery, because the hot and dry constitution has receded, it is necessary to focus on making up for the postpartum loss. According to personal constitution, warmer and drier drugs can be used to nourish qi and blood. At this stage, Bazhen Soup and Shiquan Dabu Soup generally use different ingredients. Tonifying kidney and strengthening bones and muscles after delivery: Eucommia ulmoides Oliv.

Mommy will have different degrees of lumbago after delivery, Eucommia ulmoides Oliv. It has a good effect of tonifying kidney and strengthening tendons, and it is recommended that mommy take it as much as possible. Eucommia ulmoides Oliv It is warm and can be used on the third day after delivery until the end of confinement, so don't worry about violating other prescriptions. It has a good effect when used alone or added to dishes! Zhou Yanjun said Eucommia ulmoides Oliv. It is a good product with thick and silky hair. Common usages include:

1. Boil 3 bowls of water with Eucommia ulmoides Oliv. 2 yuan or 3 Liang 1500cc can be used as tea or soup base.

2. Buy Eucommia ulmoides powder directly, two spoonfuls a day, or eat it with ribs and kidneys.

3. Eucommia ulmoides and ribs or kidney and pork liver soup are eaten together.

The fourth stage: end of the month!

The fifth week after delivery

Delivery usually takes a month. After entering the fifth week, mommy can resume a light and normal diet, or reduce the frequency of tonic, and those who need milk withdrawal have special soup to use.

Because of pregnancy and childbirth, uterine blood circulation will be more active. If mommy can take good care of herself during the confinement, usually some gynecological diseases, primary menstrual pain, bad physiological period and cold hands and feet will improve a lot. Mom should not ignore the importance of confinement!

Postpartum special care

oedema

One or two weeks after delivery, lochia or poor water metabolism can easily lead to edema. At this time, according to your own physique, you can use red bean soup, coix seed soup, or add motherwort to the prescription to achieve the effect of diuresis and swelling reduction.

breast-feed

If you want to promote milk secretion, Mommy can eat more high-protein foods, such as fish soup, clams and pig's trotters. Bazhen decoction itself can not only tonify qi and blood, but also promote milk secretion. In addition, in order to smooth the breast, in addition to regular nursed back to health and emptying the breast, you can also add some qi-promoting drugs such as Vaccaria seed and Rhizoma Cyperi to the original Bazhen decoction to make the mammary duct smooth.

mastitis

If mommy has a fever or inflammation in the second month, she should see a doctor. For mastitis, hot compress is of course essential. In the choice of medicinal materials, dandelion is the most commonly used. Some Chinese angelica, Ligusticum chuanxiong, or cowherb seeds can be boiled and drunk directly, which can diminish inflammation and promote the patency of mammary duct. At this time, mommy should also avoid greasy food, so as not to aggravate the obstruction of mammary duct.

Extract milk

If the mother can't continue breastfeeding for some reason, the doctor will suggest boiling malt directly, or choosing foods such as leeks that will reduce milk secretion.
