Whether lactating women can consume Angelica sinensis should be decided by a Chinese medicine practitioner based on the evidence of their condition.
Angelica sinensis is sweet, pungent and warm in nature. It belongs to the liver, heart and spleen meridians and has the effects of tonifying and activating blood, regulating menstruation and relieving pain, moistening the intestines and relaxing the bowels. It can be used for treating blood deficiency and atrophy, palpitations and insomnia, irregular menstruation, dysmenorrhea, abdominal pain with deficiency cold and rheumatism paralysis. It should not be taken by those who are suffering from dampness (too much dampness leading to fullness and discomfort in the spleen and stomach) or loose stools.
Breastfeeding women can take Angelica sinensis under doctor’s supervision if they have no contraindications to taking Angelica sinensis, but it is not recommended to take Angelica sinensis if they have no contraindications to taking Angelica sinensis.
Angelica sinensis should be used under professional medical supervision. If you feel sick during breastfeeding, we suggest that you consult a doctor in time and follow the doctor’s instructions, do not use your own medication, in order to avoid delaying your condition.
