Hi Chervy, Yes, there are definitely. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) believes that a low milk supply is attributed by either a deficiency of qi and blood, or stagnation of liver qi. This results in insufficient breast milk production (deficiency in qi and blood) and obstruction or thickening of breast milk. From a TCM perspective, working to balance the Qi and enhancing blood circulation helps mothers to maintain good health and produce more milk. There are some nutritious TCM herbs and Pro-Lactation soup that can help you to regain your energy. These can also provide you a better recovery and increase your milk supply as they help to build your energy and blood. - Tong Cao 通草 - Huang Qi 黄芪 - Dan Sheng 党参 - Dang Gui 当归 - Jie Geng 桔梗 - Mai Dong 麦冬 - Yen and Judy 💕
