How long after giving birth can you eat red ginseng? Pay attention

We all know that childbirth is very difficult. Not only does a woman have to endure severe pain, but she also consumes a lot of energy. Many women also bleed a lot during the delivery process. Therefore, family members will give the women red ginseng to nourish their bodies after delivery. So how long after delivery can a woman eat red ginseng?

1. Postpartum tonic is a very important thing. Due to excessive bleeding during the delivery process, most women will suffer from insufficient qi and blood after delivery. Ginseng can replenish vital energy, nourish the heart and calm the spleen. It is a very good tonic for postpartum women. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that qi can produce blood, and while replenishing qi, it can also replenish blood. Therefore, there is no problem for women to take ginseng after delivery. But you need to pay attention to the time of taking it.

2. All women will have lochia after giving birth. Normally, the lochia will stop about 20 days after giving birth, and only then can you start taking tonics. If you start taking tonics before the lochia stops, this will undoubtedly result in a situation where the enemy is kept inside while the door is closed. Therefore, it is recommended that if you want to take red ginseng, it is best to start taking it after the lochia stops, and take it under the guidance of a professional. Of course, there is another situation, that is, women with heavy postpartum bleeding urgently need to restore yang and consolidate blood circulation, which is a different matter.

3. For some people who do not have any special diseases, it is better to eat raw sun-dried ginseng, taking 1 to 3 grams per day. For those who are old and weak and particularly afraid of cold, it is better to choose red ginseng or wild ginseng. American ginseng is better for the elderly, weak, thirsty, irritable, feverish or those who need to take tonic in summer. For patients with severe bleeding or shock, long-term illness and physical weakness, or advanced cancer, it is best to eat wild ginseng, followed by red ginseng, and then raw sun-dried ginseng.

4. What I need to tell you is that taking too much ginseng may cause "ginseng abuse syndrome": such as excessive nervous excitement, irritability and insomnia, dry and sore throat, high blood pressure, and even stroke, mouth ulcers, etc.

5. Ginseng should be consumed in a fixed amount every day, such as 3 to 5 grams per day for farmed ginseng and no more than 1 gram per day for wild ginseng. It is best to make ginseng into powder and add it to hot water or hot milk, or put it in cooked porridge; or put the ginseng powder directly into your mouth and take it with warm water; you can also cut the ginseng into thin slices and put it in your mouth until the ginseng flavor is gone, then chew it and swallow it.
