Patient's question:
My baby has been born for ten days, and I have also been on maternity leave for ten days. It's really tough. My mom even told me to cover up. She said I should take the maternity medicine in these two days. When is the best time to take the maternity medicine?Doctor's answer:
It is better to take the postpartum herbs in the middle stage of the postpartum period. If taken in the early stage, it may hinder the discharge of blood stasis, affect uterine recovery and normal metabolism. Additionally, postpartum herbs are generally used to nourish qi and blood, remove blood stasis, and promote new growth, which are often local customs. During the postpartum period, pay close attention to your daily habits. The indoor temperature should not be too high, and ventilation should be frequent. It is essential to avoid tightly closed doors and windows, and keep the windows open often to maintain fresh indoor air.
