Patient's question:
After giving birth, I've been suffering from wind, and my shoulders have been aching all the time. Even after taking medication, the problem hasn't been resolved. I saw your prescription for the previous patient and found it very interesting. I just want to know how much they were taking. Could you please let me know? Since I'm not in the country, I can't consult directly, so I'm asking for your help to provide the exact dosage so I can prepare it myself overseas. Thank you!Doctor's answer:
This is a lingering aftereffect from not resting well during your postpartum period, also known as postpartum illness. It occurs because during pregnancy, your metabolism is highly active, and your joints and meridians are in an open state. When giving birth, you suffer a significant loss of vitality, and before your joints and meridians close, wind and cold pathogens take advantage of the vulnerability to penetrate and accumulate in your body without being promptly expelled. Therefore, to treat your condition, it must be approached in three steps: first, quickly open the closed joints and meridians; second, expel the deep-seated wind and cold pathogens that have accumulated in your body; and third, replenish the body's vital energy.You can try Gu Yuan Yi Jiu (Ancient Ant and Reishi Wine). It is formulated based on an ancient Chinese herbal recipe using ants and reishi mushrooms, and it possesses all three key functions: quickly opening the joints and meridians, expelling deep-seated wind and cold pathogens, and replenishing the body's vital energy. It is the first specialized product in China for treating postpartum illness. I hope my explanation helps you.
