After giving birth, many mothers find that their menstrual flow is significantly different from before pregnancy, especially when it becomes particularly heavy. What is the reason for this? Is it a normal sign of recovery, or a signal that needs to be vigilant about? Many new mothers are full of confusion about this. Today, let's discuss this topic from a TCM perspective and answer some common questions.Title: Postpartum Menstrual Flow
After childbirth, the menstrual flow of many mothers may increase significantly, which is often accompanied by symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, and palpitations. This is mainly due to the changes in the body's internal environment after childbirth. The liver and kidney are the foundations of the body, and after childbirth, the liver and kidney are particularly vulnerable. The liver is responsible for regulating the flow of Qi and blood, while the kidney is responsible for storing essence and governing the bones and marrow. When the liver and kidney are injured, the Qi and blood may not flow smoothly, leading to an increase in menstrual flow.Title: TCM Adjustment Ideas
In TCM, the adjustment of postpartum menstrual flow focuses on nourishing the liver and kidney, regulating Qi and blood, and promoting the recovery of the body. Here are some common adjustment methods:1. Diet: Pay attention to a balanced diet, eat more foods that are beneficial to the liver and kidney, such as black sesame seeds, goji berries, and walnuts.
2. Acupuncture and Moxibustion: Acupuncture and moxibustion can help regulate the Qi and blood, nourish the liver and kidney, and promote the recovery of the body.
3. Chinese Herbs: Chinese herbs can be used to nourish the liver and kidney, regulate Qi and blood, and promote the recovery of the body. Commonly used herbs include Angelica sinensis, Rehmannia glutinosa, and Poria cocos.
