Traditional Chinese Medicine for Lactation and Abundant Milk Supply! Enthusiastic Netizen (qq1165675479): Hello, Teacher Hu, I would like to share a lactation-promoting formula that is specifically effective for mothers with insufficient milk supply or no milk after childbirth. The recipe is as follows: 15g of Angelica sinensis (Danggui), 12g of Anemarrhena (Zhimu), 12g of Scrophularia (Xuanshen), 12g of Vaccaria seeds (Wangbuliuxing), one piece of Fructus Liquidambaris (Lulutong), 9g of Luffa sponge (Sigualuo), and 6g of Pangolin scales (Chuanshanjia). Boil the herbs in a soup made from two seven-star pig trotters. Each dose should be boiled twice, and the decoction should be consumed on an empty stomach before meals in the morning and evening. Typically, two doses are sufficient. I have personally used this formula with great success. After giving birth, I experienced insufficient milk supply and came across this recipe. After taking one dose, my milk supply increased, and it worked better than the lactation-promoting granules sold in pharmacies. I have been following your QQ for two years and have benefited greatly. Today, I would like to contribute a bit of kindness as well! Contributor: Teacher Niu Note: Seven-star pig trotters, also known as seven-star trotters, seven-star elbows, seven-star pig claws, etc., refer to the front trotters of a pig, which have seven small holes arranged in a straight line on the inner side, each about two millimeters in diameter. Some of these holes may have fine hairs around them. In traditional Chinese medicine, seven-star pig trotters are believed to promote circulation and are effective for postpartum lactation issues and milk production. See the circled holes in the image for reference.
