Recently, postpartum sisters have often discussed this issue: from pregnancy to childbirth, it is obvious that their brains are not as bright as before. Some people always say "one pregnancy is stupid for three years", is this statement true?
In fact, there are also studies in Europe and the United States, and foreigners also have special words to describe the brain decline that occurs before and after pregnancy, such as "baby brain" and "pregnancy brain". Studies in internationally renowned scientific journals have pointed out that the volume of gray matter in the brains of pregnant women will decrease accordingly, but their memory and cognitive functions have not changed at this time.
However, some sisters do feel that after pregnancy, their memory has declined, their reactions have been dull, and their work efficiency has decreased!
Including some other physical discomforts, fear of wind and cold, sweating, nervousness and anxiety, poor sleep.
So from the perspective of Chinese medicine, how to view this problem?
One pregnancy stupid for three years, what is the main reason
The first reason is because the blood stasis lochia is not drained cleanly, there is bruising, and the bruising will affect consciousness.
The second reason is because of kidney essence deficiency, including poor rest at night with children, and problems with circadian rhythm, which will lead to insufficient kidney essence and insufficient qi and blood energy.
Qi and blood energy cannot supply the head, and the brain is the sea of pith, resulting in our brain being difficult to use.
So this kind of absence also has a lot to do with lifestyle changes. It's that after pregnancy and childcare, mothers are too busy! Severe lack of sleep! If the body does not rest, the physical strength cannot be restored, it is too tired!
Exogenous supplementation does not fundamentally solve the problem
Many sisters go to the hospital to try to solve various postpartum discomforts, and some exogenous supplementary drugs do have a certain effect in the short term.
From the perspective of Western medicine, it can be understood that the brain nerves do not have enough nutrition, and nutrition may be some peptides in Western medicine, and qi and blood from the perspective of Chinese medicine.
Supplement directly exogenously to reduce the bad feelings of the body, but everyone must always know that exogenous things are different from endogenous things.
TCM focuses on functional recovery
TCM focuses on functional recovery and promotes endogenous changes when treating diseases.
For example, now the nerves of the entire brain are not enough to be nourished, because the kidney essence is deficient, the qi and blood energy is insufficient, and the qi and blood stasis, resulting in unobstructed meridians and the supply of qi and blood.
TCM treatment will treat from the root, on the one hand, replenish kidney essence, strengthen the function of qi, and at the same time open up some channels of meridians, clean up the stasis in the body, and finally through your own body can deliver kidney essence, so that you can obtain real health.
Moderate exercise after childbirth, good effect on unclogging meridians
After giving birth, due to physical weakness, and to bear the heavy task of raising children, special attention should be paid to exercise not excessively. A small number of times, step by step, Deming Fitness's three walks and four moves, is a set of movements that are especially suitable for postpartum sisters to exercise.
I hope you don't get fooled by some appearances, when you are weak, it is very difficult to go up a small step, but the next step, it is simply too easy.
Once the disease is rushed to the doctor, the final result may be longer and longer.
We must fundamentally solve the problem, external input is temporary relief, internal adjustment is long-term stability.
I hope everyone can be happy, happy, and at the same time have real health.
