Under normal circumstances, you need to stop drinking patchouli during breastfeeding for about 24-48 hours, and then breastfeed your child after the drug is basically metabolized, which is relatively safer. Because Huo Xiang Zheng Qi Shui is a Chinese medicine preparation, it has the effect of dispelling summer heat, relieving symptoms, resolving dampness, regulating Qi and harmonizing the middle. However, it uses ethanol as a cofactor, about 40%-50% alcohol concentration, so it is not recommended to breastfeed your child after taking patchouli during breastfeeding.
