Have you already passed your confinement period, but still don’t feel fully recovered?
Many mothers experience:
-
Persistent fatigue after childbirth
-
Dizziness or palpitations
-
Pale complexion
-
Poor concentration
-
Shallow or unrefreshing sleep
-
Weak limbs and low stamina
-
Feeling “empty” despite resting
In TCM, this is a classic pattern of postpartum Qi and Blood deficiency.
How TCM Understands Postpartum Weakness
Childbirth significantly depletes Qi and Blood.
Without proper replenishment, recovery becomes slow and incomplete.
1 Qi & Blood Deficiency (Most common)
fatigue
dizziness
palpitations
low vitality
2 Spleen Deficiency
poor nourishment
energy not restored despite eating
3 Heart–Spleen Deficiency
light sleep
anxiety
emotional sensitivity
4 Incomplete Postpartum Recovery
early interruption of care
ongoing physical and emotional demands

From the Practitioner
“Postpartum recovery is not about returning to who you were before pregnancy,
but about rebuilding a stronger and more balanced body.
When Qi and Blood are restored, strength and clarity naturally return.”
