(Attached Discussion)
There are two types of postpartum women regarding milk flow. One type has excessive Qi causing stagnation and blockage preventing flow; the other type has deficient Blood and weak Qi causing sluggishness and lack of flow. Deficiency should be tonified, excess should be unblocked. For excess patterns, use Tongcao (Tetrapanacis Medulla, 通草), Loulu (Euphorbiae Humifusae Herba, 漏芦), Tugua Gen (Bromeliae Caulis, 土瓜根), etc. For deficiency patterns, use Zhongru Fen (Stalactitum Pulvis, 钟乳粉), Pig Trotters, Crucian Carp, etc. This can be generally understood.
It is also said that after new birth, water and blood both descend, suddenly injuring body fluids, Qi and meridians are not yet smooth, hence milk does not come down. If Chong and Ren meridians can be regulated, and the insufficiency of Hand Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian and Hand Shaoyin Heart Meridian treated, then the milk vessels will naturally flow. If the meridians are deficient, Qi and blood vessels are closed and blocked, even strong treatment will be of no benefit. Generally speaking, whether a woman's milk flows or not is caused by Qi deficiency and irregular meridian flow. Milk should not be allowed to drip on the ground where insects and ants eat it, otherwise it leads to no milk. If milk is abundant and overflowing, it is better to splash it on the east wall of the house. Some postpartum women definitely have milk; if breasts are full but milk fails to come down after birth, this is due to young women experiencing wind-heat upon first menstruation and childbirth/lactation. Clearing and draining medicines must be taken for milk to flow. If multiple births result in no milk, it is due to loss of body fluids. Nourishing and overflowing medicines must be taken to stimulate it. If there is milk but not much, meridian-unblocking medicines must be taken to stimulate it. Also consume soup/gruel. Because women's milk originates from the Chong Mai (Penetrating Vessel, 冲脉) and connects with the Stomach Meridian. Some women who have given birth many times still have abundant milk, which is because their Blood and Qi are not declining. Generally, women with chronic diseases affecting the Chong and Ren meridians have little milk that is yellow in color; their children are weak and prone to illness. Any spontaneous leakage of milk postpartum is caused by body weakness; tonifying medicines should be taken to stop it. If there is pain and urgency due to excessive milk, apply warm cloth compresses. "Chan Bao" has this discussion but no formula. If this symptom occurs, using Loulu San alone is also acceptable. There are cases of milk leaking before birth, called Ruqi (Milk Weeping, 乳泣); children born in such cases often do not survive. Women born without milk cannot be treated. Or due to crying and violent anger, depression and Qi blockage cause milk vessels to not flow. Use clear broth of fine pork meat mixed with delicious flavors, take Yi Yuan San (Yiyuan Powder, 益元散) five to seven doses after meals, continue for three to five doses, then comb the breast area with a water-comb, and milk will flow naturally. Another method is to take Yi Yuan San mixed with pig trotter. Another method is to moxa Ji Jing (GB21, Shoulder Well, 肩井) acupoint twice, which is good. The meridians of Hand Taiyang and Hand Shaoyin flow downwards as menstruation and upwards as milk. During pregnancy, menstruation stops, initially used to nourish the fetus; after birth, water and blood both descend, body fluids suddenly exhaust, and menstrual blood is insufficient, hence no milk.
