Can I take Korean traditional herbal medicine for weight loss while breastfeeding?

Strong appetite suppressants, such as Ephedra (Ma Huang), are omitted while breastfeeding due to potential effects on the infant. Instead, we use a "postpartum-specific diet" prescription designed to replenish energy and reduce swelling.

산후 비만은 지방보다는 부종과 순환 장애가 원인입니다.

  • 원리: 모유 질을 좋게 하는 약재 + 부기 제거 + 대사 촉진
  • 시기: 산후 3개월 이후부터 본격적인 체중 감량을 권장합니다.
  • 수유: 모유 수유 자체가 하루 500칼로리를 태우는 최고의 다이어트입니다.
💡 무리한 절식 금물

굶으면 빈혈과 탈모, 산후풍이 옵니다. 영양가 있는 식사를 하되 당분과 밀가루만 줄이세요.
