Tian Wang Bu Xin Wan and lactation

Thank you very much for your reply once again. I do trust my practitioner, however, I needed a second opinion! After all if I were different I wouldn&#39t need the specific drug in the first place! Last night I breastfed my son at 20.30 and took the pills at 21.00 and before feeding him again at 8.00 in the morning (last dinner was formula milk as a supplement at 23.00) I used a milk extractor to extract some of the milk hoping that this would also contribute to "cleaning" my system! I will proceed this way hoping the best for me and my baby!

When people ask questions like this it is clear they are trying to treat themselves. You should consult with a practitioner before you start taking herbal supplements. Your practitioner will know what is and isn&#39t appropriate for you and in what doses. Standard lists, while useful, are often not very conducive to proper treatment as it is the dosing and timing of the dose that is important as well as what other herbs are in the particular formula. It is most important, however, that you be on the completely correct formula instead of choosing one for "x" condition which is not how Chinese Medicine works - see (" What Does Acupuncture Treat?" for more information on that topic).
