Postpartum lactation insufficiency refers to the condition where a mother produces very little or no milk after childbirth, also known as "insufficient milk."
The causes of insufficient milk can include malnutrition or mental fear or depression; improper breastfeeding by the infant, too few nursing sessions, or failure to fully express milk; or due to poor breast gland development, placental dysfunction, and other factors.
It is recommended to perform moxibustion once a day, targeting 2 to 3 acupoints each time, with each acupoint being treated for 30 to 40 minutes. Rotate the points treated, with a 10-day period constituting one course of treatment, and then rest for 2 to 3 days before continuing with the next course.
(If time permits and there is a need, more acupoints can be treated with moxibustion. The specific duration should be adjusted according to one's own physical needs.)
