Can I eat ginseng after childbirth?
You can't eat ginseng immediately after delivery.
Ginseng is a kind of Chinese herbal medicine, which is sweet and bitter and warm, but it is not suitable for lying-in women.
Although ginseng is the first choice for nourishing, it is not suitable for taking just after production. Because taking ginseng soup too early and too much will aggravate postpartum hemorrhage and even induce massive hemorrhage, and some components contained in ginseng tonic have cardiotonic and exciting effects, which is not conducive to early rest and physical recovery of pregnant women.
What are the disadvantages of eating ginseng immediately after delivery?
It will make the new mother insomnia.
Ginseng has a substance that excites nerves, and new mothers will suffer from insomnia and anxiety after taking it. In addition, the new mother consumes a lot of physical strength and energy when giving birth to a child, and she is very weak and tired. If they eat ginseng immediately, they won't get a good rest, and some new mothers will even suffer from insomnia, so it's hard to say when they will recover after childbirth.
Ginseng contains a variety of effective components, some of which can have a wide range of exciting effects on the human body, and the exciting effects on the central nervous system of the human body can lead to insomnia, irritability, anxiety and other adverse reactions. However, the parturient who has just given birth consumes a lot of energy and physical strength, and needs bed rest very much. If you take ginseng at this time, the mother will have difficulty sleeping because of excitement, which will affect the recovery of energy.
The postpartum hemorrhage of new mothers will be more serious.
Ginseng is a tonic medicine. Taking too much can promote blood circulation and accelerate blood flow. This is very bad for women who have just given birth. Because in the process of giving birth, the blood vessels of internal and external genitalia are often damaged, taking ginseng may affect the self-healing of damaged blood vessels, leading to bleeding and even massive bleeding.
How long can I eat ginseng after delivery?
Before delivery, some doctors often tell the parturient to take some ginseng or ginseng preparations to keep good energy and physical strength for the parturient, so as to ensure the smooth delivery and the safety of the mother and the baby. However, some pregnant women also take ginseng after delivery. In fact, from the pharmacological effects of ginseng and the physiological characteristics of parturient, it is not appropriate to use ginseng immediately after delivery.
Chinese medicine thinks? Qi leads to blood circulation, and sufficient qi leads to smooth blood? . Ginseng has the functions of invigorating primordial qi, restoring yang and rescuing adverse reactions, promoting blood circulation and enhancing energy and physical strength. If you take too much, it will accelerate blood circulation, which is extremely unfavorable to the mother. In the process of delivery, internal and external genital blood vessels are often damaged, and users will aggravate bleeding. Usually, ginseng can only be taken 2 ~ 3 weeks after delivery, when the birth injury has healed and the lochia is obviously reduced. It is generally believed that if the symptoms of qi deficiency appear from/kloc-0 to February after delivery, you can take 3 ~ 5 grams of ginseng every day for several days.
In order to make the parturient recover quickly, you can drink brown sugar egg soup, hot milk, chicken soup and crucian carp soup after delivery, and eat lean meat, eggs and chicken for 1 ~ 2 days after delivery, but don't eat too much at a time to avoid damaging the spleen and stomach.

Don't abuse ginseng
With the continuous improvement of living standards, ginseng has also entered an aggravating period for ordinary people. Many people regard ginseng as a nourishing and health-preserving medicinal material, and think that in order to get the best effect, they must take it in large quantities frequently. This is actually a very wrong idea. If ginseng is abused, it will not only have the best nourishing effect on the body, but will lead to excessive excitement of the central nervous system and symptoms such as insomnia, itching and dizziness. Therefore, the daily use of ginseng must be gradual.
Avoid drinking tea after taking medicine.
If you drink tea after taking ginseng, the tea polyphenols contained in tea will combine with ginseng, reducing the nourishing effect of ginseng.

Patients with insomnia, dreaminess and irritability are not recommended to take ginseng.
After taking ginseng, the spirit will be more excited, which will not only lead to poor sleep effect, but also difficult to play a role in meditation.
Do not take it when you have a cold and fever.

Avoid eating radish and seafood after taking it.
Ginseng is a tonic, which has a good effect of nourishing vitality after taking it.

Avoid using hardware cookers.
Do not use hardware cooking utensils when frying ginseng, whether it is Dunyang or decocting medicine, otherwise it will affect the final efficacy of ginseng.
