Patient's question:
I had a cesarean section for this pregnancy, so I don't know if it's because I didn't give birth naturally, which is why my milk production is relatively low and not quite enough for the baby to drink. Therefore, I want to use tongcao to promote milk flow. How should I eat tongcao to increase milk production quickly? The help I need: How should I eat tongcao to increase milk production quickly?Doctor's answer:
In terms of traditional Chinese medicine, Tongcao is a medicinal herb with a clear galactagogic effect. Therefore, many postpartum women, upon finding that their milk supply is insufficient after giving birth, will consume Tongcao. Tongcao is typically prepared in a soup with ingredients such as pig trotters, pork, ribs, or crucian carp. The then drinks the soup and eats the meat, which helps to increase milk production more quickly. It is also important to pay attention to rest and enhance nutritional intake through diet. The above is advice on this matter, and I hope it is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
