The Traditional Approach to Lactation
-
In traditional Chinese theory, breast milk is formed from blood and body fluids, and its flow is influenced by energy (qi), warmth, digestion and circulation.
-
Red dates and longan are traditionally used to help nourish blood and body fluids. In some blends, small amounts of fenugreek, long used in Western herbal traditions, are included for its galactagogue qualities
-
Rather than forcing milk production, these natural blends are traditionally consumed to help the body transition smoothly into lactation.
