It has been about 15 days since I gave birth, and I am writing this post because I was shocked by the price of postpartum herbal medicine. I received some childbirth support funds recently, so I started looking into using them to get some herbal medicine. I could manage in the early stages after delivery, but perhaps because I feel relieved now, lately I feel aches and pains all over my body. My knees are constantly cold, and my wrists and lower back ache, making it difficult to even hold the baby. They told me to wear a brace, but as everyone knows, I forget, and I also get my hands wet a lot. People around me recommended postpartum herbal medicine for recovery, saying it is essential to take it, so I started looking into it. So I asked a fellow patient from the postpartum care center, and she told me that her family had already prepared it before delivery and is taking it right away. But when I heard the price, I was honestly shocked because it was quite expensive, much more than I expected. I was hoping the support funds would cover some of the costs, but the price of the herbal medicine is higher than I thought, so I can't make a decision easily. Since I'm going to take care of it anyway, I figured I should go to a proper place given the cost. I'm looking for a good Korean medicine clinic that does thorough pulse diagnosis. Since I'm currently breastfeeding, it would be even better if there were a female doctor. I'm debating whether I should get postpartum herbal medicine or combine it with weight loss. Because I'm breastfeeding, I'm also extra concerned about whether it's safe to eat. It would be great if you could recommend the postpartum herbal medicine you are currently taking, but I would also be very grateful if those who have taken it in the past could share their experiences. Besides that, I would love it if you could recommend any other nourishing foods that are safe to eat while breastfeeding! Please share your experiences on how you managed your postpartum recovery 😊
