Egg yolk oil for nipple cracking

The yolk is the most core part of the egg. All the nutrients are concentrated in the yolk. In fact, the yolk can not only be eaten to supplement protein, but it can also cure diseases, such as nipple fissures. Nipple cracks are very painful. Egg yolks contain a large amount of lecithin, which can relieve pain. The treatment effect is very good and does not have side effects like drug treatments. Let me explain it to you in detail below.

1. To prevent nipple cracking, mothers should do the following:

1. When breastfeeding, try to let the baby suck most of the areola, because the area below the areola is where the milk is concentrated. When sucking, the milk is sucked out like pressure, which saves the baby's energy when feeding and also protects the nipple. It is the most effective way to prevent nipple cracks.

2. Each feeding time should not exceed 20 minutes. If the nipple is immersed in the baby's mouth indefinitely, it is easy to sprain the nipple skin. There are also bacteria in the baby's mouth, which can cause breast infection through broken skin.

3. After feeding, make sure to wait until the baby's mouth relaxes the nipple before gently pulling out the nipple. Pulling the nipple hard may cause damage to the nipple skin.

2. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that egg yolk oil is mild in nature, sweet in taste, and has the effects of detoxifying, reducing swelling, and healing wounds and promoting tissue regeneration. Modern pharmacological research shows that egg yolk oil contains fat, oleic acid, and linoleic acid, all of which are hydrophobic. They can lubricate the mucous membrane, isolate external stimuli, relieve local pain, and provide some essential amino acids to promote wound healing. Therefore, it can quickly cure skin cracks. In addition, egg yolk oil is non-toxic, easy to make, and safe and effective.

3. The specific method is: take 2 cooked egg yolks. Crush the egg yolk and spread it evenly on a rice spoon, and cook over medium heat. When the rice spoon is heated through, use a spoon to squeeze and stir-fry the egg yolk until it turns black and oil comes out. Keep the oil and discard the residue. Wash the affected area with warm water and dry it; apply oil to the affected area with a cotton swab and let it dry naturally. In severe cases, wrap it with gauze; there is no limit to the number of times. Generally, it can be cured after several consecutive uses.

4. Nipple fissures are a common disease after childbirth, which is mostly caused by deficiency of Qi and blood, and malnutrition of the nipples. The lecithin and cholesterol in egg yolk are important substances for the formation and repair of tissue cells. Using egg yolk oil to treat nipple cracks can enhance local nutrition, promote cell regeneration, effectively protect the nipples, and make the cracks heal quickly.
