Breast Feeding

Most expectant mothers devote a significant amount of time during pregnancy preparing for childbirth and organizing the home for the new baby. It is essential to also consider planning for the initial weeks post-delivery when mental energy is limited.

A common concern during this period is inadequate breastmilk supply, which can lead to considerable stress.

In Chinese medicine philosophy, breastmilk is associated with Yin and Blood, both vital fluids in the body. A deficiency in Yin often correlates with insufficient breastmilk production, with symptoms like hair loss also indicating this imbalance. In China, new mothers are frequently provided with Blood and Yin-nourishing herbs after giving birth to support their overall health during the delicate postpartum phase.

Take advantage of the support Chinese medicine can lend you.
