Moxibustion during lactation can stop milk production

During breastfeeding, mothers have to strictly control their daily activities and diet. After all, the baby relies on breast milk to survive. If there is a problem with the milk, the baby's health will be directly threatened. In summer, when the temperature is too hot, or when people get prickly heat, they will think of taking an wormwood bath or drinking wormwood water to recuperate their bodies. But can breastfeeding mothers carry out traditional Chinese medicine health care methods such as moxibustion? Will it affect breast milk?

1. Moxibustion is performed outside the body and has no effect on the mother.

Using mugwort for health care can be said to be a very traditional Chinese medicine health care method. It can be used appropriately not only in summer but also in daily life. Moxibustion only performs treatment on a part of the human body and does not have a negative impact on the internal organs of the human body. On the contrary, if pregnant women or mothers have excessive moisture in their bodies, or are too tired at ordinary times and cause back pain, then moxibustion treatment is actually very beneficial to the body, which can expel moisture from the body and relieve physical fatigue.

2. Does moxibustion have any effect on breast milk?

The answer is no impact. Milk is metabolized by women's breasts and has no significant connection with other parts of the human body. If many people are really worried, they can avoid the breasts and surrounding areas when performing moxibustion, or choose to do it after feeding the baby to avoid breastfeeding. If the moxibustion therapy is appropriate, it will basically have no effect on breast milk. Mothers can rest assured that it is a very good way to relieve physical fatigue.

3. Can I do moxibustion frequently?

The answer is no. Generally speaking, no matter what kind of health regimen you adopt, you must strictly grasp the degree. Although moxibustion has great benefits, the frequency must still be controlled. Too much frequency may have a slight impact on the composition of breast milk and also have an impact on women's own body. We all pay attention to the standard of moderation and appropriateness. Too much may be counterproductive. Therefore, mothers can perform moxibustion, which has little effect on breast milk, but the frequency should be controlled. Three or four times a week is appropriate, or once a day. More than that is not recommended.
