3. Moxibustion

Cold limbs after childbirth indicate weak Qi and blood, and Qi and blood have two major characteristics of "flowing when encountering warmth and coagulating when encountering cold". Moxibustion therapy uses the warm stimulation of moxa fire to the meridian acupoints to make Qi and blood flow, attack evil with fire, warm the meridians and dispel cold evil. However, you need to master the method under the guidance of a doctor, find the acupoints correctly, and prevent burning of the skin.

4. Stick to the ear acupoints "The ear is where the main meridians gather"

The ears are connected to the meridians of the whole body. Auricular acupoint therapy uses round materials such as medicines and magnetic beads to be applied to the ear acupoints. By stimulating the ear acupoints, radioactive induction is produced, which radiates shallowly along the meridians, thereby unblocking the meridians and circulating qi and blood.

How to prevent postpartum disease

1. Be careful of the cold

During the postpartum period, mothers should avoid catching cold, not being blown by cold wind or drinking cold water, and not eating heavy or irritating foods. Mothers should pay special attention to avoid physical fatigue or mental stimulation. Women who have given birth normally, or who have had a caesarean section or a miscarriage are all likely to suffer from postpartum diseases, so they must pay attention.

2. Don’t over-moisten your joints

Any slight stimulation before delivery may cause minor problems after delivery, and you should never over-move your joints in the 2-3 weeks after delivery.

3. Take postpartum tonic medicine

Postpartum tonics in traditional Chinese medicine are effective in replenishing the mother's qi and blood, helping her recover quickly after childbirth, and preventing postpartum diseases. However, they must be taken after the lochia has been discharged, and the concept of "better late than early" must be adhered to. Because taking tonics before all the lochia is discharged will induce postpartum wind, you can decoct and take medicinal herbs such as ginseng, astragalus, angelica, and rehmannia root that have the effect of replenishing physical strength.

4. Eat appropriate nourishing foods

Foods that can prevent postpartum wind include carp, pig's trotters, pumpkin, etc. But you should not take too much nutritional food at one time or only eat one type.
