1. Black sesame

Black sesame has the effects of nourishing the liver and kidney, improving blood and essence, and moistening the intestines. Shennong's Herbal Classic lists black sesame as a top-grade product, believing that it can "treat injuries, weakness, nourish the five internal organs, strengthen the qi and strength, grow muscles, and fill the brain marrow", and "take it for a long time to keep the body light and not old". The Essentials of Materia Medica states that black sesame can "tonify the liver and kidney, moisten the five internal organs, and lubricate the intestines", "brighten the eyes and ears, blacken the hair, benefit the large and small intestines, and expel wind and dampness." Modern pharmacological research shows that black sesame contains a lot of fat and protein, as well as carbohydrates, vitamin A, vitamin E, lecithin, calcium, iron, chromium and other nutrients. Black sesame contains a variety of essential amino acids, vitamin E and vitamin B1, which can accelerate the body's metabolic function; the iron and vitamin E in black sesame are important ingredients for preventing anemia, activating brain cells, and eliminating blood vessel cholesterol; the fat contained in black sesame is mostly unsaturated fatty acids, which have the effect of prolonging life; the lecithin contained in black sesame is one of the components of bile. If the cholesterol in the bile is too high and the ratio of bile acid and lecithin in the bile is unbalanced, it will deposit and form gallstones. Lecithin can decompose and lower cholesterol, so lecithin can prevent the formation of gallstones.

If you often eat black sesame seeds, it will be of great benefit to you for treating liver and kidney deficiency, dizziness due to virtual wind, tinnitus, headache, constipation, weakness after illness, premature graying of hair, numbness due to blood deficiency and wind, and insufficient milk in women.

2. Peanuts

Peanuts can be used for spleen deficiency, nausea, edema, leucorrhea, anemia, various bleeding diseases, dry cough, chronic cough, and postpartum lactation. In addition to lactation, peanuts have other effects: peanuts are rich in fat and various amino acids required for human life activities, and are easily digested and absorbed by the human body. Regular consumption has the effect of nourishing, strengthening and prolonging life; the vitamin E contained in peanuts can resist aging, and vitamin B1 can nourish nerve fibers; the calcium and iron contained in peanuts are very beneficial to children, pregnant women and parturients; peanut skins have the effects of anti-fibrinolysis, increasing platelet content and improving its function, strengthening the contraction function of capillaries, and improving coagulation factor defects. They also contain a small amount of cellulose, which has a good hemostatic effect and can accelerate the disappearance of hematomas. They can be used for various internal and external bleeding diseases, including hemophilia, thrombocytopenic purpura, functional uterine bleeding, etc.; the oils contained in peanuts are mostly unsaturated fatty acids, which can lower blood pressure and cholesterol; the lecithin contained in peanuts can delay brain function decline and prevent thrombosis.

3. Loofah

Luffa is a Chinese medicinal material. It is also known as luffa net, luffa shell, melon, luffa tendons, etc. It is picked after the luffa matures, turns yellow and dries up, and the skin, pulp and seeds are removed, washed and dried, which is luffa. Luffa is mostly long prism-shaped or long cylindrical, and is made of filaments. Luffa tastes sweet and is cold in nature. It has the effect of clearing the meridians and cooling blood and detoxifying. It can treat qi and blood blockage, meridian obstruction and other symptoms. For example, when there is breast inflammation, lumps during milk production, and poor milk secretion, Chinese medicine will recommend stewing luffa in broth, which can regulate breast qi and blood, promote lactation, and stimulate appetite and reduce phlegm. Some parturients stew luffa with crucian carp, pig's trotters, and kidneys. After drinking it, they find that the milk secretion is vigorous. In fact, this is mainly the effect of the broth. Simply stewing luffa soup cannot achieve the effect of promoting lactation. However, if luffa is stewed with broth, it can promote lactation. Experts suggest that if you experience poor milk secretion or breast lumps, you can take loofah under the guidance of traditional Chinese medicine to dredge the meridians and promote lactation.

4. Daylily

Honeysuckle is also called daylily flower, and has other nicknames such as daylily. It is the bud part of daylily. It is a perennial wild herb with blocky roots and likes to grow in damp places away from the sun. Honeysuckle is very rich in nutrients. Every 100 grams of dry product contains 14.1 grams of protein, which is almost the same as animal meat. In addition, honeysuckle also contains a large amount of vitamins B1 and B2. Because honeysuckle is rich in nutrients, it has more therapeutic value. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it has the effects of dampness and heat, wide chest, diuresis, hemostasis, and lactation. To treat postpartum milk retention, stewing lean pork with honeysuckle is very effective.

5. Wild Rice

Legend has it that Wu Zetian had little milk after giving birth, and suffered from constipation and oral ulcers, but she was afraid of taking bitter medicine. At that time, Meng Xi, a scholar with profound knowledge of diet therapy, presented a diet therapy prescription, which was a soup of water chestnut, loach, tofu and vinegar, which was surprisingly effective. As a vegetable, wild rice stem has a sweet taste, is fresh and refreshing, and is listed as one of the three famous dishes in the south of the Yangtze River along with fresh fish and water shield. It is not only delicious and nutritious, but also contains carbohydrates, protein, vitamin B1, B2, vitamin C and a variety of minerals. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that wild rice stem is sweet and cold in nature, and has the effects of relieving heat and toxins, preventing thirst, promoting bowel movements and promoting lactation. Nowadays, wild rice stem, pig's trotters, and tongcao (or mountain conch) are often used to cook and eat together, which has a good lactation effect. Because wild rice stem is cold in nature, if the wet nurse has a weak spleen and stomach and loose stools, it is not suitable to eat more. In addition, wild rice contains a lot of insoluble calcium oxalate, so patients with urinary stones should be careful not to eat too much.

6. Lettuce

There are two types of lettuce: leaf lettuce and stem lettuce. Leaf lettuce is also known as "lettuce", while stem lettuce is called "lettuce". Both are rich in various nutrients. According to analysis, except for iron, the content of all other nutrients is higher in leaves than in stems. Therefore, when eating lettuce, it is best not to discard the leaves. Lettuce is bitter and cold in nature, and has the effect of promoting lactation. When a mother has little milk, she can eat lettuce with pig's trotters. This method of eating not only reduces greasiness, is fragrant and delicious, but also has a better lactation effect than using pig's trotters alone.

7. Peas

Peas, also known as green beans, are sweet and mild in nature, and are rich in phosphorus, with about 400 mg of phosphorus per 100 grams. Peas are beneficial for urination, producing body fluids, relieving sores, stopping diarrhea, and promoting lactation. Green peas can be cooked and eaten lightly, or pea seedlings can be mashed and squeezed into juice and taken, both of which can promote lactation.

8. Tofu

Tofu has the effects of invigorating qi and harmonizing the middle, promoting body fluid and moistening dryness, clearing away heat and detoxifying. It is also a lactation-promoting food. Tofu, brown sugar, and fermented rice are boiled and taken with water to produce milk. Blue Ribbon August Double Milk combines decades of clinical experience and is based on the theories of skin physiology and traditional Chinese medicine. That is, on the premise of strictly analyzing the different physical characteristics of different parturients in mainland China, according to the natural production laws of the human body, it adopts a non-surgical, non-injection, non-medication, and non-painful method for mothers with different types of milk deficiency, using different lactation-promoting techniques to achieve "one lactation, let the baby enjoy breast milk".

1. Foods that inhibit milk secretion: such as leeks, malt, ginseng, garlic, pepper and other foods.

2. Irritating things: The diet after childbirth should be light. Do not eat irritating things, including spicy seasonings, peppers, alcohol, coffee and cigarettes.

3. Greasy food, fried food, and high-fat food: These foods are difficult to digest and are high in calories, so they should be consumed in moderation.

4. Medicine: For breastfeeding mothers, most medicines will not affect the baby at normal doses. However, breastfeeding mothers are advised not to take medicine on their own. They should actively tell their doctors that they are breastfeeding so that the doctors can prescribe suitable medicines and choose medicines with shorter duration to minimize the amount of medicine that passes through breast milk.
