Chapter 89089 Postpartum Precautions (2)
"It's not something very precious. It's actually very common. You just don't recognize it so you don't know it."
Xia Tian knew that people in this era lacked common sense of hygiene, so she patiently explained the origins of the herbs. "I picked up some of these when I saw them before, but I left them as they were unused, so there aren't many. I'll pick some more in the next few days, so there will definitely be enough. Don't worry about that."
To be honest, she herself couldn't tell the name of this herb.
It's not just because the original owner's memory contains no information about the medicine of this era, but also because the things in this world are indeed very different from those on Earth and cannot be expressed using the previous professional terms.
For example, this herb looks like plantain, but it smells like ginger and is white in color. However, it is excellent in stopping bleeding and reducing inflammation when used externally.
At that time, she used a lot of herbs on Si Ye, and this kind of herb performed the best. So later when she went out, she would bring some back when she saw it, and gradually accumulated a bag of it.
Now that Aunt Meng wants to use it, I can just find time to go out and pick it. It’s not a particularly difficult herb to find.
However, she did not yet understand the full properties of this herb, and did not dare to give it to people internally. She could only use it externally to stop bleeding and reduce inflammation.
As for the matter of herbs in this era, she still needs to find some time to study it in detail.
Xia Tian mentally put the search for herbs on the agenda and stopped the middle-aged orc from thanking her. "Stop talking about preciousness. Is the relationship between Aunt Meng and me not worth a few herbs? It would be really awkward. We're all family. Don't mention thank you or not."
After hearing what the girl said, Ye didn't want to be polite anymore. He just nodded in relief and continued to listen carefully to her talk about the next precautions, like a well-behaved primary school student.
"The second thing is about uterine contractions and lochia discharge. You don't need to know what these terms mean. Just know that for the next month, Aunt Meng's body will continue to discharge dirty blood. The amount will not be large, and there will be pain in the lower abdomen due to contractions. This is a normal phenomenon of recovery."
Xia Tian found the hay that was previously stained with blood and showed it to Ye. "To avoid fever and infection, you need to change the hay every day and keep the house ventilated and dry - but Aunt Meng can't be exposed to the wind, so you must remember to change it every day. This hay is the softest I can find, but you are more experienced than me, so you can change it to something else. In short, it must be dried in the sun and changed every day. Don't forget."
Ye nodded.
Xia Tian continued, "To help Aunt Meng recover, I have a set of massage techniques. They're quite complicated and require hands-on practice. Uncle Ye, come here and I'll teach you."
Xia Tian demonstrated the massage technique herself while explaining the precautions, "This is to speed up the body's recovery. Put your hands here, circle along the lower abdomen, and apply force slowly..."
This technique is not difficult. Ye learned it quickly and was able to do it well on his first try.
But Aunt Meng was in so much pain that the expression on her face looked a little unnatural.
Ye felt sorry for his partner, so he quickly withdrew his hand and didn't dare to go on. He looked at Xia Tian with a troubled expression, as if asking if there was any other way.
