【閉關坐月子】一講坐月就想到不能沖涼洗頭?
⭐古老坐月方法不合時宜
⭐現代坐月注重衛生與產婦休息
#星期二提升正能量
坐月常識Q&A - 生活篇
Q:坐月不能開冷氣嗎?
A:香港夏天炎熱又潮濕,產婦如果盲目跟從傳統坐月方法,不吹冷氣以致大汗淋漓會引起衛生問題,室內宜溫度舒適及空氣流通,只要將冷氣溫度調至24至26度,風口不會直吹產婦及嬰兒便可。
Q:坐月為甚麼不能碰「生水」?
A:老一輩認為產婦接觸生水,寒氣會進入身體,容易造成身體畏寒、腰背痠痛等病症,現代人可以調校暖水使用,洗手後立即抹乾便可。
Q:可以趁坐月時減肥嗎?
A:生產後不宜立即減肥,因為身體需要時間復原,胡亂節食可能會出現寒凝血滯、惡露未能排淨、或引寒氣入內而致風寒感冒、甚至眩暈等不適症狀,建議產後至少六個月後才開始減肥,適量進食健脾補氣袪濕的食材調理,配合運動及飲食健康瘦身。
Q:坐月時外出要由頭包到腳嗎?
A:坐月不鼓勵產婦外出,是因為要爭取時間休息,如果無可避免要外出例如到健康院覆診,只要注意保暖,不要被風直吹便可,因為中醫理論認為「風乃百病之長」,如果氣血虛弱的產婦著涼,會出現「月內風」症狀如頭暈、風寒、手腳冰冷等,所以預計到室內地方有冷氣就多帶件連帽外套吧。
Q:如果流產了也需要坐月嗎?
A:無論是自然還是人工流產,小產婦也宜坐小月讓身體慢慢復原,坐小月的飲食調補及生活起居注意事項基本上與坐月相若,應以平補方式調理脾胃、活血祛瘀、排清惡露,隨後配合體質,滋陰養血、強腰補腎,亦可趁坐小月期間疏導情緒,收拾心情。

Confinement Month Q&A – lifestyle edition
Q:Can we use the air-conditioner during confinement?
A: The Hong Kong summer is warm and humid. New moms, who abide by the traditional confinement practices blindly, tend to avoid using the air-conditioner. They inevitably sweat a lot, and this causes poor hygiene. To ensure the enclosed space is comfortable and has good air ventilation, adjust the temperature of the air-conditioner to 24-26 degree Celsius. It is also important to make sure the cool air does not blow directly at the moms and the babies.
Q:Why should moms avoid touching water that is not boiled during confinement?
A: The older generation believes that once moms come into contact with unboiled water during confinement, the cold air would invade the body easily, causing them to suffer from aversion to cold and backache. It is actually fine to clean the body with warm water but make sure we wipe it dry after that.
Q:Can we take this opportunity to lose weight?
A: It is best not to lose weight after giving birth because the body needs time to recuperate. Improper diets can cause stagnation of the blood due to coldness in the body and lochia discharge to retain in the body.
Not having proper diets can also lead to attack from cold air pathogens and in turn cause new moms to catch a flu and cold or experience dizziness. You should only start your weight loss regime about six months later after delivery.
Do consume an appropriate quantity of ingredients that can strengthen the spleen, nourish the qi, and eliminate dampness from the body. You should also exercise regularly to shed some pounds in a healthier manner.
Q:Should we cover ourselves up when we decide to go out during confinement?
A: Women who are still in confinement should stay home and rest as much as possible, but if there is a need to go out, they must keep themselves warm and avoid being exposed to wind and chill.
According to Chinese Medicine theories, wind pathogen is the catalyst of many illnesses. Since moms during confinement are already have weak qi and blood, they may experience the symptoms of ‘yue nei feng’ in Mandarin (literally means ‘wind during confinement’) such as dizziness, common cold, and cold limbs. So put on a sweater or bring along an extra hoodie if the place you are travelling to is air-conditioned.
Q:Do we have to go through confinement after an abortion or miscarriage?
A: Be it abortion or miscarriage, going through confinement is necessary to help the body recuperate. Just like new moms after childbirth, it is important to eat and stay healthy.
Nourish the body to improve the functions of the spleen and stomach, invigorate the blood and clear blood stasis, and clear the lochia discharge from the body. Take this opportunity to replenish the yin and nourish the blood, strengthen lower back and nourish the kidneys, and above all, soothe your emotions accordingly.

【產後調理】你知道坐月該吃甚麼嗎?
⭐很多人誤以為要一直補
⭐補過頭上火便秘又增磅
#星期一踢走BlueMonday
坐月常識Q&A - 飲食篇
Q:坐月食療目的是補身嗎?
A:不是每天進食大量滋補湯水就叫坐好個月,中醫理論認為產婦於坐月期間需按個別體質情況調養,尤其補身前要先健脾胃,因為脾胃功能好才能吸收食材中的營養,有助母乳生成及身體復原,盲目進補只會加重脾胃負擔,補過頭不但容易增磅,亦容易令體質上火,出現便秘、口乾舌燥等症狀。
Q:坐月該吃甚麼?
A:坐月宜多吃多餐,一日五至六餐最適宜,進食清淡而富營養的食物,宜選屬性平和的食材,以蒸、煮、燉、燜為主,讓脾胃更容易吸收,避免生冷及屬性寒涼飲食,可按體質適量於餐單加添補氣血食材如陳皮、沙參、玉竹、黨參、太子參等,並且飲用有健脾胃功效的湯水。
Q:坐月為甚麼要喝炒米茶/炒米水?
A:喝米水是中醫的傳統智慧,以紅米、白米、薏米調配而成的米水能健脾胃,有助身體復原,而炒米水健脾胃之餘也能暖胃袪寒。產婦產後即可飲用炒米水,先不用添加紅棗、陳皮或其他藥材,以免太熱氣。如身體有偏熱症狀如有痔瘡、口瘡、盜汗、喉嚨痛等則宜飲屬性平和的米水 。哺乳媽媽尤其需要水分才會有足夠的母乳,所以每天宜多喝暖水及米水。
Q:坐月期間水腫了,是否因為喝太多湯水?
A:產後出現水腫症狀如腳跟忽然腫脹多因產時失血過多,正氣耗損,加上脾胃虛弱而致,水濕滯留不去而產生,主要表現為面色偏黃,面目手足或四肢浮腫,可飲用有茯苓、陳皮、扁豆衣的水腫腫茶、紅豆米水紓緩症狀。
Q:薑醋除了派給親友,產婦可以吃嗎?
A:中醫理論認為「產後體質多虛多瘀」,薑醋有袪風散寒、活血袪瘀的功效,自然分娩產婦可於十二朝後開始進食,而剖腹產婦宜於產後20至30日,待惡露排清後進食。要注意薑醋適合虛寒體質的產婦食用,體質偏熱的產婦則少吃為妙,可以喝一兩口醋而不吃薑。

Confinement Month Q&A – F&B edition
Q:Are confinement meals meant to nourish the body?
A: An effective postnatal care is not just about nourishing the body. Chinese Medicine theories believe that women need to customize confinement plans based on their body conditions.
Before nourishing the body, it is important to strengthen the spleen and stomach first. A good spleen and stomach can only absorb the nutrients from the confinement meals and help moms boost milk production and recuperate faster.
Consuming nourishing ingredients without understanding their needs would only add on to the burden of the spleen and stomach. An over-nourished person would not only gain weight more easily but also cause heat to accumulate in the body, accompanying symptoms include constipation and dry mouth and tongue.
Q:What should we eat during confinement?
A: It is best to eat more meals. Five to six meals a day would be ideal. Eat light foods that are rich in nutrients, but do opt for ingredients that are mild in nature.
The best ways to prepare each meal are steaming, cooking, stewing, and simmering, as the spleen and stomach can better absorb the nutrients from the ingredients.
Avoid raw and cold foods as well as those that are cool in nature. According to the individual’s body constitution, add ingredients that can nourish qi and blood, such as dried citrus peel, glehnia root, polygonatum odoratum, codonopsis root, and pseudostellaria heterophylla root. Having soups that can strengthen the spleen and stomach is also good for mothers during confinement.
Q:Why should mothers during confinement drink fried rice tea/fried rice water?
A: The practice of drinking rice water comes from the wisdom of Chinese Medicine. Rice water made from red rice, white rice, and coix seed can strengthen the spleen and stomach and help the body recuperate faster.
Likewise, fried rice water can also strengthen the spleen and stomach. It can even warm the stomach and dispel cold from the body. Women who have just given birth can drink fried rice water immediately.
For those with heat-related symptoms such as hemorrhoid, canker sores, night sweats, and sore throat, it is best to drink rice water that is mild in nature. Mothers who breastfeed need to regularly hydrate the body to ensure constant milk production. Hence, it is best to drink more warm water and rice water daily.
Q:Does drinking soup cause edema during confinement?
A: Symptoms such as swelling on the ankles after delivering are due to excessive blood loss during childbirth. When the qi in the body is damaged and the spleen and stomach weaken, dampness can more easily stagnate in the body.
Other related symptoms include yellowish complexion and the swelling of the face, eyes, and limbs. You can drink herbal teas that contain poria, dried orange peel, and hyacinth bean coat to get rid of water retention. Red bean rice water could also relieve the symptoms.
Q:Besides giving ginger vinegar to friends and family members, can new mothers consume them?
A: Ginger vinegar can dispel wind and cold from the body and at the same time, invigorate the blood and clear blood stasis in the body. Likewise, Chinese Medicine believes that a woman’s body experience deficiency and blood stasis after childbirth.
Hence, new mothers who have gone through natural birth can start taking ginger vinegar after twelve days, whereas those opted for C-section can consume it after 20 to 30 days (or after the lochia discharge has ceased).
Ginger vinegar is suitable for new mothers with a cold body constitution, so individuals with a heaty body should avoid consuming it excessively. It is fine to take a sip of the vinegar but avoid eating the ginger.

#星期五湯水
喝湯淡化產後色斑
婦女產後有機會出現各種身體症狀,有些產婦會在面上出現黃褐斑,淡啡色的一大片對稱的出現於面頰上,這種色斑又稱為荷爾蒙斑或妊娠斑,是因為懷孕時內分泌改變所引致,中醫理論認為黃褐斑與患者的肝、脾、腎健康狀況有關,氣滯血瘀讓體內血液運行不暢,令皮膚暗啞出現色斑;脾氣虛弱以致氣血不能潤澤於面,令面色萎黃;腎陰虛則令皮膚乾燥無光澤。故產後媽媽要注意調理身體,多喝對肝、脾、腎有補益作用的湯水,例如加入烏雞、何首烏、黑木耳、黑豆、枸杞子、栗子、核桃、桑椹等材料。

Soup to lighten postpartum chloasma
Women will encounter all sorts of health problems after giving birth, and some would develop chloasma on the cheeks. The brownish patches of skin are also called melisma or mask of pregnancy, and they developed due to hormonal changes during pregnancy.
Chinese Medicine principles opine that postpartum chloasma is associated with the health of the patient’s liver, spleen, and kidneys. The stagnation of the qi and blood basis can disrupt the circulation of the body, causing the skin to look dull and develop spots. A spleen with a weak qi would not restore the radiant complexion to the skin effectively, causing the skin to turn sallow. A yin-deficient kidney can also cause the skin to look dry and dull.
Hence, it is vital for mothers who have just given birth to take care of their bodies. Drink soups that can nourish the liver, spleen, and kidneys. These soups should include ingredients like black-boned chicken, Polygonum multiflorum (‘He Shou Wu’), black fungus, black bean, wolfberry, chestnut, walnut, and mulberry.
Tips on ingredient:
Notoginseng (‘Tian Qi’), known as San Qi in Mandarin, is warm in nature. It can clear stasis, swelling, and relieve pain. It is suitable to control both internal and external bleeding and bruises, clear blood stasis, and relieve swelling and pain. It is not suitable for women who experience severe blood loss during period, bleeding womb, and postpartum bleeding (lochia).
Maitake mushroom and notoginseng soup with black bean
Effects: Replenishes qi and invigorates the kidneys. Relieves fatigue, treats cold hands and feet, premature graying of hair and hair loss.
Ingredients: 2 maitake mushrooms, 1 fresh wild yam, 1 carrot, 9g notoginseng, 30g black beans, 30g peanuts, 20 wolfberries
Preparation:
1. Rinse all ingredients thoroughly. Cut the peeled wild yam and carrot into pieces.
2. Combine all ingredients with 2500ml of water in a pot and cook on high heat until boiling. Turn to low heat and simmer for 2 hour. Add salt to taste.
