During the pregnancy and childbirth stage, women's bodies will undergo great changes, especially after giving birth. Many women will experience symptoms of postpartum qi deficiency, most of which are manifested as pale complexion, sweating, insomnia and dreaminess.

3 key points for treating postpartum sweating at home

1. Drink more water and salt. When new mothers sweat a lot, they lose a lot of water and salt. They must be replenished in time. Calcium should also be supplemented when necessary to avoid dehydration and electrolyte imbalance in the body. Do not reduce your water intake due to fear of sweating, otherwise it will affect breastfeeding and even the health of the breast.

2. Increase exercise appropriately. In addition to taking medication and diet therapy, new mothers who sweat easily should also increase exercise and training appropriately. The exercise of the limb muscles can help new mothers strengthen their spleen and stomach functions and improve circulation. Although new mothers with qi deficiency sweat more after exercise, they should not give up exercise because of this. They just need to pay attention to wiping off sweat in time after sweating, changing into dry clothes, and avoid being blown directly by the wind.

3. Eat less cold foods such as raw melons and cold dishes. You can choose foods that strengthen the spleen and warm the middle, and replenish qi and nourish the blood, such as jujube, glutinous rice, yam, lentils, honey, chicken, mutton, crucian carp, chestnuts, etc.
