What supplements does postpartum qi and blood take?

Women need to exert their strength during childbirth, so they will consume a lot of qi and blood during childbirth, which leads to many women's weakness, and many women also have the problem of insufficient qi and blood because of blood loss. If they don't replenish qi and blood in time, it is likely to cause a lot of discomfort. And the importance of diet to us is self-evident. Women with insufficient qi and blood can be supplemented by food supplements. So what supplements should I take after childbirth to supplement qi and blood?

Ginseng is one of the better tonics for lying-in women, which has high nutritional value and can replenish vitality. However, it should be noted that women who have just given birth to children are not suitable to eat ginseng. Premature or excessive consumption will aggravate postpartum hemorrhage, which is not conducive to early recovery of postpartum body. Generally, the best time for postpartum mothers to eat ginseng is about 2-3 weeks after delivery, so women who eat ginseng to replenish blood need to master the time and consumption.

In addition, postpartum qi and blood should be adequate to eat more iron-rich foods, such as peanuts, jujube, black fungus, sesame sauce and so on. It is beneficial to prevent anemia caused by postpartum hemorrhage. Moreover, with the gradual recovery of maternal digestive function, you can eat some soups that tonify qi and blood, such as stewed bean sprouts with pig's hands, stewed peanuts with pork loin, stewed tofu soup with crucian carp, stewed codonopsis pilosula with black-bone chicken and so on. It has a certain nourishing effect on blood loss caused by excessive bleeding.

In short, the deficiency of qi and blood not only affects the recovery of the body, but also reduces maternal milk secretion. Therefore, it is necessary to supplement nutrition reasonably and improve the problem of insufficient qi and blood as soon as possible.
