Can motherwort be eaten during lactation?

Mother Leonurus is a kind of medicine that can promote the recovery of uterus. It is important to know that mother Leonurus has no adverse effect on milk quality and will not be directly transmitted to baby through milk. However, since motherwort is a cold medicine, excessive use may cause abdominal discomfort, including abdominal pain, diarrhea and other digestive symptoms, affecting the mother's physical recovery and daily life.

In addition, its characteristics of activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis may lead to abnormal menstrual flow in certain situations. Therefore, self-administration or overdose is not recommended. In summary, if breastfeeding women need to use motherwort, they must consult a doctor or a Chinese medicine practitioner in advance to ensure that the medication is administered reasonably under strict medical supervision. The doctor will give appropriate dosage and treatment suggestions according to individual constitution, postpartum recovery and specific symptoms. At the same time, if any discomfort occurs during the administration, stop taking the medicine immediately and seek medical advice to ensure the health and safety of the mother and child.
