In the folk, many mothers will drink Yuezi Shenghua Decoction after delivery, because it can help the parturient to discharge lochia. Shenghua decoction can be said to be a necessary prescription for postpartum conditioning in confinement, and its application is to add and subtract (add flavor) according to the symptoms. It comes from Fu Qingzhu Gynecology, a monograph of traditional Chinese medicine, and was prescribed by Fu Shan, a medical scientist in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties.
Shenghua Decoction is mainly composed of five ingredients: Angelica sinensis, Ligusticum Chuanxiong, Peach kernel, processed ginger and roasted licorice. As the name implies, take it to "generate" new blood, "melt" old silt, and take it as "biochemistry".
Angelica sinensis has the effects of nourishing blood and replenishing sphygmomanometer, Ligusticum chuanxiong can promote blood circulation and qi circulation, while peach kernel can break blood and remove blood stasis. The combination of the three can strengthen uterine contraction, promote the recovery of qi and blood, and accelerate the elimination of blood clots in the body. Processed ginger can warm channels and relieve pain, and enhance the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. Roasted licorice can replenish heart and qi. The purpose of drinking is to nourish blood and promote blood circulation, help uterine contraction and eliminate lochia.
The suitable drinking time is about the third day after self-production, and the parturient should take a patch every day without coagulation dysfunction, blood collapse or wound infection. Natural delivery people take 5~7 posts continuously, while cesarean section people take 3~5 posts continuously after exhausting.
Is it necessary to drink Yuezi biochemical soup?
Women need to discharge impurities from their bodies after giving birth, which is commonly called lochia. In the past, people would drink Yuezi Shenghua Decoction.
After delivery, it is very important for the parturient to discharge the residual substances in the uterus as soon as possible. Therefore, many pregnant women will drink some biochemical soup to help discharge lochia. The reporter found that many sub-month centers have also launched various biochemical soups. However, experts pointed out that some pregnant women returned to the hospital because of massive bleeding a few days after discharge, precisely because they took the "biochemical soup" in the wrong way this month.
Experts pointed out that the "promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis" of Shenghua decoction certainly helps to eliminate lochia, but some pregnant women will drink Shenghua decoction in the form of water. Imagine that if they drink too much at a time, it will easily lead to endometrial instability, leading to more than bleeding.
