Traditional Chinese Medicine and Postpartum Recovery: Nourishing Your Body After Labor with Placenta Encapsulation.
From a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) perspective, labor is a deeply depleting process for a woman’s body. The loss of blood (Yin) and energy (Qi) during labor, even in a natural, uninterrupted birth, creates an internal "emptiness" that must be properly replenished. Without adequate nourishment, this emptiness can lead to a range of health issues, including postnatal anxiety and depression, low milk supply, fatigue, low immunity, and a weakened ability to fight infections.
Human Placenta (Zi He Che): A Powerful Tonic in TCM
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Human Placenta or Zi He Che is considered one of the most tonifying herbs, especially when it comes to postpartum recovery. Zi He Che is highly valued for its ability to boost the body’s healing capacity after the intense demands of childbirth. This powerful herbal remedy helps restore a woman’s postpartum energy, supports healthy milk production, and improves overall recovery.
When combined with a diet rich in whole foods, vitamins, and minerals, Zi He Che works wonders to revitalize the body. It enhances:
Energy levels
Healing
Breastmilk supply
Mood stability
Libido
This holistic approach, rooted in TCM, is designed to help new mothers regain their strength and vitality, ensuring a smoother transition into motherhood and long-term health benefits.
