Some time ago, I took care of my confinement confinement sister-in-law at home. This is a nourishing soup that nourishes blood and promotes milk.
Octopus has the functions of nourishing blood and nourishing qi, astringent muscle growth, nourishing yin and stomach, nourishing deficiency and moisturizing skin. It is the most suitable food for those with weak constitution, especially those with deficiency of both qi and blood, and octopus is rich in calcium, phosphorus, and iron. Bone development and hematopoiesis are very beneficial. It can prevent anemia, relieve fatigue, restore vision, and improve liver function.
Mussels are a common seafood food. Mussels have high nutritional value and contain a variety of vitamins and trace elements. Since fresh mussel meat is not easy to preserve, it is often cooked and dried to make mussel seeds. When buying dried mussels, it is better to be small in size and dark yellow in color.
Mussels can treat the spleen caused by fatigue, less blood essence, vomiting and chronic dysentery, bowel pain and low back pain.
