Yon's Talk

Postpartum herbal medicine,
is it necessary?

Hello! I am Dr. Ji-yeon Hong, director of Yon Korean Medicine Clinic.

There are crucial points throughout our life cycle that require special attention. Much like a plant, if it receives sufficient nutrients during critical periods, it can grow properly, bloom brilliantly, and stay vibrant for a long time.

One of those key points is the 'postpartum' period. I personally took everything from pregnancy stabilization medicine to childbirth and postpartum herbal medicine. Thanks to that, I was able to have a healthy delivery and go through my postpartum recovery without any issues.

Postpartum medicine and health management

Body Changes

How does a mother's body change after childbirth?

Throughout pregnancy and childbirth, a mother's vital energy (Qi) and blood are exhausted. She must care for her changed body while simultaneously attending to the newborn, which often leads to extreme sensitivity.

Furthermore, during pregnancy and delivery, all the joints in our body loosen and relax, and the uterus expands significantly. After childbirth, the discharge known as 'lochia' occurs—this consists of waste products left behind as the uterine lining regenerates where the placenta was attached.

If this lochia does not discharge properly, it remains in the uterus as 'blood stasis' (eohyeol), which can negatively impact the body. This is compounded by sleep deprivation from childcare, joint pain throughout the body, and digestive issues caused by a weakened digestive system, making this a period where both body and mind undergo significant changes and distress.
