Biochemical soup introduction and practice

By jeleaanne34Published 3 years ago 5 min read

In addition to those superstitions and customs, the most important thing to pay attention to is the maternal diet. Periodic supplements and mild refreshments are a great way to bounce back quickly. Postpartum body and viscera within two weeks are very weak, digestive function is not recovered, if blindly supplement eating and drinking, the body is not only difficult to absorb, but also will cause obesity and other "empty not to be filled" phenomenon.

I think the most important task at this time is to discharge the blood stasis as soon as possible, the more clean the blood stasis, the better the repair of the uterus. I will insist on drinking biochemical soup in the week before postpartum, drinking biochemical soup at this time can nourish blood circulation and remove stasis, warm meridian pain relief, help to discharge the blood stasis in the uterus, improve body resistance and contraction of the uterus, let the uterus the fastest repair.

This prescription is derived from the qing dynasty famous doctor Fu Qing master "female university all" written by Mr, it consists of angelica sinensis, rhizoma ligustici wallichii, walnut meat, dried ginger, main licorice these taste traditional Chinese medicine, angelica can keep blood increase, rhizoma ligustici wallichii can invigorate the circulation of blood, and peach kernel can then be broken blood circulation, the effect of the whole prescription is to invigorate the circulation of nourishing blood and postpartum blood, expelling lochia. In many maternity centers, after the birth of the baby, regardless of caesarean section or natural birth, that is, to drink biochemical soup, general meals before, a day can be divided into 3-6 times to drink, vaginal birth 7 days, cesarean section to drink 14 days.

I was very lucky to have worked in the professional organization of postpartum repair and recuperation for women founded by Chuang Shuqi, a doctor of Chinese and Western medicine in Taiwan (only in Shanghai). Dr. Chuang was the first female doctor to get the license of traditional Chinese medicine in Taiwan. He was the court physician of Empress Michiko of Japan, and he was also known as the "mother of cancer prevention" in China and Japan. Here I received many authoritative concepts and guidance of women in confinement. Several years later, I got this opportunity to organize these concepts into a book based on my understanding of the practice of confinement. I really appreciate this coincidence. I hope these words can be of some benefit to the happy mother who is about to embark on a new journey in life.

Women in the first week of confinement must drink blood - activating stasis decoction ---- biochemical soup

Ingredients: (a day) Angelica 16 grams, Chuanxiong 8 grams, peach kernel (to the heart) 1.5 grams, 1.5 grams of dried ginger, processed licorice 1.5 grams, rice wine water 500 ml (rice wine to alcohol practice see happiness note).

Utensils: traditional Chinese medicine pot, to casserole or pottery pot is preferred. Avoid iron, copper, aluminum, enamel containers.

Biochemical soup preparation

1. First pour 500ml rice wine water into traditional Chinese medicine and soak slightly.

2. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 45 minutes.

3. About 250-300ml of juice is left at this time; Pour into a China bowl.

4. Drink it on average three times before each meal. It can also be drunk as tea.

Use stage: postpartum 1, 2 weeks (or postpartum 10 days)

1. In the early stage of the month, there will be slight pain in the lower abdomen and waist, and there will be some blood, necrotic tissue and mucus excretion, called "lochia". This is a normal phenomenon. If there is no abnormality in the discharge of lochia and the exclusion of traditional Chinese medicine, there is no need to take biochemical soup, you can ask the doctor to prescribe some Chinese patent medicine to help repair the uterus.

2. There is no need to drink biochemical soup within 3 days of postpartum hospitalization, because uterine contractions are the most important within these days. In Taiwan, general hospitals are not prohibited to drink biochemical soup, only to be strictly prohibited to drink the whole month. Because after 2 weeks, biochemical soup on the contrary has rebuilt the new endometrium adverse, drinking will lead to bleeding symptoms.

3. As for the problem of rice wine, in the traditional zuoyuezi dietary therapy, a lot of wine is used, rice wine brewed with glutinous rice, and rice wine water, etc. Because it has a lot of nutrients beneficial to the body, and can nourish qi and blood, warm meridian and collaterals, rice wine can also be used as a "medicine" in this biochemical soup. However, as a woman with abdominal rupture, the impurities in the wine will indeed affect the wound, and excessive drinking during the month will also be detrimental to the intellectual development of the baby, so I use the safest method to boil their own rice wine water, can eliminate this concern. Method: THREE BOTTLES OF RICE WINE, slow BOILING 6-8 hours into a bottle of RICE wine, at this time the alcohol in the wine completely VOLATILIzes, and then this water boil biochemical soup or other cooking.

Special note

1. If postpartum lochia can not be discharged or the amount is small, or dark purple with blood clots, or abdominal pain, fever and other diseases, Chinese medicine is called "lochia not less". At this time, should seek the reason to the hospital in time, do targeted treatment.

2. If there are no other organic lesions in the examination of puerpera, the TCM syndrome differentiation belongs to blood deficiency, blood stasis caused by cold postpartum abdominal pain, biochemical soup can be used. The properties of biochemical soup are relatively warm, and the formula can be added or subtracted under the guidance of professional doctors. Puerpera regardless of cold and heat, blind use should not be advocated.

The efficacy and function of Angelica sinensis

The effect of angelica sinensis on uterus is biphasic depending on the functional state of uterus. N-butenolide can counteract experimental asthma induced by histamine - acetylcholine spray in guinea pigs. Angelica sinensis has anti-platelet agglutination and anti-thrombotic effects, and can promote the generation of hemoglobin and red blood cells; It has anti-myocardial ischemia and vasodilatation effects, and has been shown to improve peripheral circulation...

Tips for making soup

Longan and angelica can be eaten together: longan has the effect of tonifying the heart and spleen, nourishing the blood and calming the spirit. Chicken and angelica are also healthy food. If the three are eaten together, they can provide rich nutrients for the human body and have a certain effect on postpartum body deficiency and weakness.

Angelica and noodles in soup should not be eaten together: eating together will cause physical discomfort
