How to make loofah milk-inducing soup after childbirth

After giving birth, many mothers use food to induce lactation, because only by using food can the lactation process be faster. Milk is mainly used to absorb nutrients for the human body. Many mothers drink cucumber milk-inducing soup to promote lactation. In fact, this is indeed effective. So how to make cucumber milk-inducing soup during confinement? Let’s take a look at it together below.

Many new mothers have no milk secretion or very little secretion, and cannot consider the needs of the baby, which is called "lack of milk". The main symptoms are soft breasts, no swelling or pain, and milk drips out when squeezed, or swollen breasts, mammary glands form lumps, and it is painful and difficult to squeeze out milk. Now I will share with you a magic formula for promoting lactation, loofah and egg soup.

500g cucumber, 3 eggs, 2 tablespoons oil (15ml), 1 tablespoon salt (6g) Wash the cucumber, peel it, cut it into small pieces, beat the eggs, and add appropriate salt according to your preference. Fry the eggs, pour the water to boil, boil a pot of water, and when the water boils, put the cucumber in and cook for a while. Pour the prepared egg liquid in a circle while it is still fast. When the cucumber is cooked, you can cut some green onions for decoration at the end.

Cucumber is a plant of the Cucurbitaceae family. It is sweet, flat, slightly cool, non-toxic, and contains saponin, fat, and protein. Cucumber itself has no lactation-inducing effect, but the cucumber's meridians, namely the loofah, can promote lactation and make milk secretion smooth. Luffa loofah tastes sweet and is cold in nature. It has the effects of promoting the flow of meridians, removing blood stasis and detoxifying. It can treat blood and qi obstruction, and blood stagnation. Therefore, when a new mother has breast inflammation, lumps in the breast during lactation, or milk secretion is blocked, the Chinese Medicine Association recommends cooking loofah in bone soup, which can regulate breast blood and qi, promote lactation, strengthen the spleen, stimulate appetite, relieve cough and reduce phlegm. Simply stewing cucumbers into soup will not achieve the actual effect of promoting lactation. It needs to be cooked together with fish, hoof bones, etc. to have the effect of promoting lactation.
