one of the foods in lactagogue: loofah sponge
loofah sponge is a kind of Chinese herbal medicine, and some people usually call it loofah net, loofah shell, melon seed and loofah tendon. In fact, the loofah is picked after the loofah is ripe, yellow and dry, and the skin, pulp and seeds are removed, washed and dried. Loofah sponge is mostly long prismatic or long cylindrical, tastes a little sweet and cold, and has the functions of dredging meridians, cooling blood and detoxifying.
If the parturient has mammary gland inflammation, there is a lump when giving milk, and the milk secretion is not smooth, I suggest that the family can stew it in the broth with loofah sponge, which can play the roles of regulating the qi and blood of the breast, promoting lactagogue, stimulating appetite and resolving phlegm.
the second food in lactagogue: Zizania latifolia
Zizania latifolia is eaten as a vegetable, which is delicious, fresh and refreshing, nutritious, and contains carbohydrates, protein, vitamins B1, B2, vitamin C and various minerals. If Zizania latifolia, pig's trotters and medulla tetrapanacis are used and cooked together, it will have a good lactagogue effect.
But I also want to remind the puerpera not to eat too much because of the cold water bamboo and the deficiency of spleen and stomach. In addition, Zizania latifolia contains more insoluble calcium oxalate, and patients with urinary calculi should also be careful not to eat too much.
The third food in lactagogue: peanuts
Peanuts are common in our daily life, rich in fat, various amino acids needed by human life activities, and easily digested and absorbed by human body. Peanut can be used for spleen deficiency, nausea, edema, leucorrhea in women, anemia, various hemorrhagic diseases, dry lung cough, chronic dry cough, postpartum lactagogue and other diseases.
the fourth food in lactagogue: lettuce
Lettuce is also a good food in lactagogue. It is divided into two types: leaf lettuce and stem lettuce. Lettuce for leaf is also called "lettuce" and stem lettuce is called "lettuce". Lettuce has a good lactagogue effect. Mothers can burn pig's trotters with lettuce. This eating method not only reduces greasy, fragrant and delicious, but also has better lactation effect than using pig's trotters alone.
The above are four kinds of foods in lactagogue, all of which are vegetables. Therefore, after eating lactagogue soup such as pig's trotters soup and fish soup, eating these vegetables can also stimulate the appetite of lying-in women.
