TCM for Postpartum Cold Sensitivity & Cold Limbs | Health Shine TCM Bukit Jalil Feeling Cold After Childbirth, Cold Hands & Feet, Yang Deficiency Recovery
πΈ Do you feel unusually cold after childbirth, even months later?
Many postpartum mothers experience:
-
Constant sensitivity to cold
-
Cold hands and feet
-
Discomfort with air-conditioning
-
Chills or low energy
-
Cold sensation around the lower back or abdomen
-
Needing more layers than before pregnancy
In TCM, this is commonly due to postpartum Yang deficiency combined with Qi and Blood depletion.

the body’s warming and activating force.
