What to do about postpartum pigmentation

No matter how well a woman takes care of herself, once she gives birth, her body will undergo some changes. The most typical of these is postpartum pigmentation and hair loss, which are very distressing for women. There are many solutions to postpartum pigmentation, and you can take some simple measures to alleviate it. So, what should we do about postpartum pigmentation? Let’s take a look at the solutions to postpartum pigmentation.

Hair loss, chloasma on the face, darkening of skin pigmentation and stretch marks during pregnancy are considered by TCM to be due to deficiency of Qi and blood after childbirth. Therefore, it is helpful to take Bazhen Decoction as the basis and then add black sesame, Polygonum multiflorum, wolfberry and other Chinese medicines that have the effect of nourishing yin and blood and darkening hair.

To maintain skin pigmentation, most people will use mother-of-pearl powder for oral administration before and after childbirth. However, coix seed is generally not used before childbirth due to the risk of miscarriage.

It is very useful after childbirth. It can be made into porridge with Poria cocos, which can not only reduce edema but also beautify the skin. Some mothers have many acne on their faces, dry mouth and hard stools after childbirth. They can use wood ear lotus seed soup and red bean honey porridge for dietary therapy, which also has the effects of clearing heat and cooling blood, moisturizing the intestines and beautifying. For those who have not lost significant weight, you can use stewed pork slices with angelica, yam, and beef with tangerine peel and celery to enhance digestion, strengthen the stomach, promote qi and reduce swelling.

The above is an introduction to the solution to postpartum pigmentation. I hope it will be helpful to women’s understanding. Postpartum care causes many abnormalities in women's health. When problems are discovered, there is no need to use drugs or skin care products to improve them. Simply using these dietary therapy methods can effectively solve the problems. Women should try them quickly.
