Patient's question:
Some people say that loofah promotes milk production, while others say it reduces milk production. Which one is correct? Can it be eaten?Doctor's answer:
Loofah helps to supplement milk. Breastfeeding mothers can appropriately consume loofah fruit. If they are weak postpartum or have insufficient milk due to other reasons, it can help them breastfeed. Loofah fruit has the effect of promoting lactation. It is also used in the maintenance of the center of loofah. Generally, loofah fruit is used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat meridian blockage and other symptoms. Loofah sponge and stewed soup can promote lactation. The loofah sponge itself contains milk function and has certain milk-enhancing effects during use. You can also eat more peanuts, as peanuts help with milk.
