Is it okay to drink motherwort with blood-stained leukorrhea during breastfeeding?

Patient's question:

Medical Description: On July 5th, after inserting the T-copper IUD, there was heavy bleeding for about a week. In the second week, the bleeding gradually improved and became clean for two days. Due to some fatigue from work, bleeding occurred again for two days. After stopping for about two days, the menstrual bleeding returned heavily, and it has been happening every ten days now. There is occasional blood in the vaginal discharge, and sometimes abdominal pain.
History of Treatment and Effect: Took Duanliuwei tablets and Amoxicillin, which stopped the heavy menstrual bleeding. But now there is blood in the vaginal discharge again.
Desired Help: Heard that drinking Yi Mu Cao (Chinese Angelica Sinensis) might help. Also, the child is currently breastfeeding.
