Can you eat basil during breastfeeding?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Can I eat basil during breastfeeding?

Doctor's answer:

You can eat basil during breastfeeding. Insufficient milk production after childbirth may be due to low prolactin levels or blocked milk ducts. In this case, it is recommended to drink more milk-boosting soups, such as pig trotter soup or crucian carp soup. You can also take Tungluo Dan (milk-enhancing pill) appropriately. Frequent breastfeeding helps increase milk production. Gynecological diseases not only affect a woman's life but can also lead to the occurrence of gynecological conditions. Therefore, it is best to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a check-up. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. Pay attention to dietary adjustments, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, irritating, and cold foods.
