This is a prescription from the Sichuan region; I have used it before with remarkable efficacy.
Select eggplant flowers that have cracked open after being exposed to cold dew in late autumn, dry them in the shade, burn them until they retain their medicinal properties (charred but not fully ashed), and apply the resulting powder to the affected area. If it is not autumn, any cracked flowers can also be used.

From *Defang Fang* (Effectiveness Formulas).
Take two or three "fangcun bi" (a traditional Chinese volume measure for powders) of deer horn shavings, mix with decoction of Scallion and Soybean Sprout (Congchi Tang), and take orally; lactation will resume immediately!

Apply iron powder (Tiejing Fen) to the breast and push it into the nipple, while simultaneously taking magnetite powder (Cishi Mo) with wine.
