Note that you should consume it when you can eat after giving birth. At first, my mother thought that she should consume it when she had no milk, but she missed the best period for consumption. When she drank it, I was almost 100 days pregnant, but my milk increased significantly during the period. One of my mother's friends only drank porridge made from Tongcao after giving birth, and her milk increased a lot. That auntie didn't dare to drink water because her milk would increase if she drank water (this was her mother's folk remedy when she gave birth to her). Tongcao is the 4-5 cm long white stick

Peanuts, also known as groundnuts, are annual herbs belonging to the genus Arachis of the Fabaceae family. They are native to South America. There are more than 100 countries in the world that cultivate peanuts, with Asia being the most common, followed by Africa. According to Chinese literature on peanuts, the history of peanut cultivation is about 100 years earlier than that of Europe. Peanuts are known as "vegetable meat" because they contain up to 50% oil, are of excellent quality, and have a fragrant smell. In addition to being eaten, they are also used in the printing and dyeing and papermaking industries. Peanuts are also a traditional Chinese medicine, suitable for malnutrition, spleen and stomach disorders, coughs, phlegm, and lack of milk. The cultivation and management of peanuts is also relatively technical.
