Blocked milk ducts are commonly caused by : 1. Poor Breastfeeding management 2. Physical factors (such as ill-fitting bra) 3. Health conditions (such as Stagnation of Qi and Blood) TCM believes that the stagnation of Qi are reasons for causing blockages in the milk ducts. Hence we will recommend you to have meridian lactation massage and consumption of TCM herbs to help boost your Qi for a better flow of breastmilk. Do always keep a happy disposition and have ample rest and you will have a healthy milk flow. - Yen and Judy 💕
