Pay attention to the following issues when drinking brown sugar water

1. Because brown sugar is a crudely processed product with many impurities and bacteria, brown sugar water should be boiled, precipitated, and impurities removed before drinking. If conditions permit, you can also boil more at a time, filter and refrigerate, and pour 1 small cup each time you drink it, and wash it down with boiling water.

2. As brown sugar can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, it is best to consume it within 10 days after delivery, which is conducive to the discharge of bloody and serous ocalyx. If it turns into white ocalyx, it is not advisable to consume brown sugar, or use less brown sugar, so as not to prolong the discharge time of bloody ocalyx.

3. Brown sugar is warm in nature, so use less in summer and more in cold weather. People who often vomit acid before giving birth should use less or no brown sugar to avoid increasing stomach acid and hurting the stomach.
