Lactation-promoting effect of loofah

Every woman wants her breasts to become fuller and bigger. What I recommend here is to use loofah, which can effectively promote lactation.

According to Hu Manjing, chief physician and dietotherapy expert at Nanjing Zhongda Hospital, loofah is a traditional Chinese medicinal material. It is also known as loofah net, loofah shell, melon net, loofah tendons, etc. It is made by picking the loofah after it is ripe, yellow and dry, removing the skin, pulp and seeds, washing and drying it.

Lactation-promoting effect of loofah

Loofahs are mostly long prism-shaped or long cylindrical, and are made of interwoven silk. Loofahs are sweet in taste and cold in nature. They have the functions of clearing meridians and cooling blood and detoxifying, and can cure symptoms such as qi and blood stagnation and meridian obstruction.

If there is breast inflammation, lumps when milk is produced, or milk secretion is not smooth, Chinese medicine will recommend stewing loofah in broth, which can help regulate breast qi and blood, promote lactation, and stimulate appetite and reduce phlegm.

Some postpartum women stew loofah with crucian carp, pig's trotters and kidneys into soup. After drinking it, they find that their milk secretion increases. In fact, this is mainly due to the effect of the soup. Simply stewing loofah into soup will not achieve the effect of promoting lactation.

However, if you stew loofah with broth, it can not only promote lactation, but also promote milk secretion. Experts suggest that if you have poor milk secretion and breast lumps, you can take loofah appropriately under the guidance of traditional Chinese medicine to promote lactation.
