We know that peach blossom contains components such as kaempferol, carotene, vitamins, etc., among which kaempferol has a good skincare effect. Among mothers who have just given birth, some ask: Can you drink peach blossom tea during lactation? Below is an introduction to this question.

You should not drink peach blossom tea during lactation. Peach blossom is a type of traditional Chinese medicine! Its medicinal property is bitter, and its function is primarily to remove water retention, promote urination and bowel movements, and expel parasites. Essentially, it is a mild laxative with a very fast purgative effect. When I was writing articles about herbal teas, I tasted it—not for weight loss or similar purposes—but this purgative effect is different from typical laxatives. It doesn't cause diarrhea in the usual sense but rather leads to watery discharge, and it acts faster than any laxative. However, its potency is not extremely strong; it won't cause continuous or severe diarrhea, but it can lead to dehydration, which is not beneficial for breastfeeding mothers.

The above is an introduction to whether you can drink peach blossom tea during lactation, hoping to help everyone understand this knowledge.
