What does this mean?
Little is know about the traditional medicines used during postpartum. Research is needed to determine which botanical preparations are advantageous and which are potentially dangerous. Certainly those with anti infective or uterotonic properties could be beneficial. Much about the postpartum diet is also unknown. Are most fruits and vegatables considered cold? Which protein sources are considered safe? Acceptable vitamin A rich foods and protein sources should be determined and encouraged.
