Many people do not pay much attention to the traditional practice of postpartum confinement, possibly influenced by Western culture, believing that there is no need for special postpartum care. But in reality, considering the differences in physical constitution, Chinese women tend to have weaker bodies after childbirth, making postpartum confinement particularly important for recovery. During this period, new mothers often sweat a lot. It is crucial to maintain a suitable room temperature, avoid prolonged exposure to closed environments, and regulate by drinking soups that aid in sweating and detoxification. When it comes to caring for postpartum sweating, it can be approached from daily life and dietary aspects: Daily life care: Ensure indoor temperature is comfortable. Use air conditioning to cool down in hot weather and remember to open windows for ventilation. Choose appropriate clothing and bedding according to the temperature and promptly dry sweat to prevent catching a cold. If conditions allow, taking a daily shower or wiping the body with warm water is a good habit. Dietary regulation methods: Astragalus longan lamb soup: Blanche the lamb meat to remove the gamy smell, then cook it with astragalus and longan to make a soup that nourishes the body and promotes sweating. Ginseng pigeon soup: Steam young pigeon with Korean ginseng slices, lightly season it, and consume it for several days in a row for effective nourishment. Loach soup: Stew fried loach with glutinous rice root until the broth thickens, this soup helps in body recovery. Sheep stomach porridge: Fill sheep’s stomach with glutinous rice and red dates, stew, and season before eating. This nutritious porridge is easy to digest and absorb. Through these meticulous care and dietary methods, postpartum mothers can better cope with sweating issues and promote body recovery.
