Secret Remedy for Postpartum Wind: Caution Required in Dosage! A kind-hearted netizen (Smiling Silence, QQ: 952880080): Hello, I often read your folk remedies and find them very helpful. I used to suffer severely from postpartum wind, even using an electric blanket in summer. I would often wake up in pain at night, and no matter how hot it was, I dared not wear skirts because I felt cold winds all over my body. I tried both traditional Chinese and Western medicine, but nothing worked. Later, I was cured by a secret family recipe. The recipe was given to me by a descendant of an old Chinese medicine practitioner, who is a close friend of my husband. He told me not to share it with others. However, as someone who has endured such pain, I know how unbearable it feels. Now, I am sharing this secret remedy with you, hoping it can help others suffering from postpartum wind. **Special Remedy for Postpartum Wind**: – Prepared Sichuan aconite (Chuan Wu), prepared wild aconite (Cao Wu), black plum (Wu Mei), and licorice (Gan Cao), 9 grams each. – One pound of high-quality white liquor and one pound of brown sugar. Place all ingredients in a glass or ceramic jar and let them steep for seven days before consumption. It is best to prepare three batches at once. Strictly adhere to the dosage, especially for prepared Sichuan aconite and wild aconite, as they are toxic and must not be increased. After steeping, take 3 tablespoons each time, twice a day (morning and evening). Do not exceed the recommended amount, as overconsumption may cause side effects. Stir well before drinking to ensure the sugar is evenly mixed. I was cured after drinking six batches and have recommended it to nearby patients, with positive feedback. **Reminder**: When purchasing the ingredients from a pharmacy, it is advisable to consult a Chinese medicine practitioner. Start with a small dose and gradually increase it. If there is no improvement after three batches, the remedy may not be suitable, and you should stop taking it. Contributor: Teacher Han Li
