[Various Medicines Forbidden for Postpartum Women, Various Foods Forbidden After Childbirth, Ten Common Folk Taboos in the Postpartum Period, Ten Errors in Postpartum Medication]
1. When a postpartum woman's Qi mechanism is not smooth, medicines that deplete Qi, such as Zhiqiao (Aurantii Fructus) and Houpo (Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex), are forbidden.
2. In cases of postpartum food stagnation, Zhishi (Aurantii Fructus Immaturus), Dahuang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma), Peng'ezhu (Curcumae Aromatiae Rhizoma), and Sanleng (Sparganii Rhizoma) are forbidden.
3. For postpartum body heat, Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix), Huanglian (Coptidis Rhizoma), Zhizi (Gardeniae Fructus), and Huangbai (Phellodendri Cortex) are forbidden.
4. Within seven days after childbirth, Shudihuang (Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata) and Shaoyao (Paeoniae Radix Alba) are forbidden.
5. For postpartum pain caused by blood stasis masses, Niuxi (Achyranthis Bidentatae Radix), Peng'ezhu (Curcumae Aromatiae Rhizoma), Sanleng (Sparganii Rhizoma), and Sumu (Sappan Lignum) are forbidden.
6. For postpartum constipation, Dahuang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma) and Mangxiao (Natrii Sulfas) are forbidden.
7. Jikun Dan (Jikun Pill) must not be taken, as it damages Qi and Blood.
8. Shoutai Wan (Shoutai Pill) must not be taken, as it harms the fetus (or residual fetal matter).
9. The harsh medicinal formulas from "Chanbao" (Treasures of Obstetrics) must not be used.
1. Fruits such as Li (Pyrus communis var. bretschneideri), Ou (Nelumbinis Rhizoma), Ju (Citrus reticulata), Gan (Citrus reticulata 'Chachi'), Shi (Diospyros kaki), and Xigua (Citrullus lanatus) are forbidden, as they cause lochia retention and pain.
2. Foods such as cold fen (starch jelly), Lüdou (Phaseoli Radiati Semen), cold rice, and Qiaomai (Fagopyri Tatarici Fructus) are forbidden, as they cause lochia retention and pain.
3. Goose meat, dog meat, pig head meat, and beef are forbidden, lest they conflict with administered medicines or cause lochia retention into masses leading to pain.
4. Xiancai (Amaranthus tricolor), raw vegetables, and Taicai are forbidden, causing lochia retention and pain.
5. Sugar wine is forbidden, as it damages newly generated Blood.
6. Decocting Hanzha Tang (Hawthorn Soup) alone is forbidden, as it damages newly generated Blood.
7. Eating large amounts of Hujiao (Piperis Longi Fructus), Aiye (Artemisiae Argyi Folium), and alcohol is forbidden, as excessive blood movement may lead to Benglou (flooding and spotting).
8. Shengjiang Jiu (Ginger Wine) is forbidden; this is a folk taboo in Ningbo, as it induces sweating and causes reckless blood movement.
9. Strong tea juice is forbidden, as its cold nature causes lochia retention into masses and pain.
1. Immediately after delivery, one should not consume beef, mutton, pork, goose meat, eggs, or wheat products, as deficient individuals find them hard to digest.
2. Cold starch jelly, Mung beans, the clear broth from congee, and buckwheat noodles should not be eaten.
3. One should not eat large amounts of Hujiao (Piperis Longi Fructus), Aiye (Artemisiae Argyi Folium), and alcohol; although heat may help circulate blood masses, the new Blood will become unsettled, risking Benglou (flooding and spotting).
4. A common folk error in Ningbo after childbirth is using several catties of Shengjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma) to eliminate blood masses, which can cause fever and loss of Blood, leading to critical conditions.
5. After childbirth, one should not eat Li (Pyrus communis var. bretschneideri), Ju (Citrus reticulata), Gan (Citrus reticulata 'Chachi'), Ou (Nelumbinis Rhizoma), cold vegetables, cold medicines, or cold water, as these cause blood masses to coagulate.
6. One should not eat pills made of Chengpi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium), Dingxiang (Caryophylli Flos), dried orange peel, Zhizhu Wan (Zhishi and Atractylodis Macrocephalae Pill), or Xiangsha Wan (Agastache and Amomi Pill), as these severely damage new Blood.
7. Within seven days, do not bathe to the point of exhausting the spirit through labor, and do not force yourself to get up early, lest you be exposed to Wind-Cold.
8. Within one month after childbirth, avoid speaking excessively and engaging in female handicraft labor.
9. During summer months after childbirth, do not wash hands and feet with cold water.
10. In severe cold months after childbirth, warm small garments and use them to keep the abdomen at a normal temperature; if cold, blood mass pain will persist for a long time, and even medication will be ineffective.
