“Getting your appetite back is what matters.”
What the tradition says
The tradition holds that this is 增加免疫力、益腎補血, that it strengthens immunity, benefits the kidney and supplements blood. No mechanism or clinical evidence for any of these was located.
After a caesarean
Rice wine and sesame-oil-and-wine dishes are said to inflame a caesarean wound. Taiwanese practitioner sources advise delaying 米酒 by 7 to 10 days, and state 產後7天內傷口若有紅腫、疼痛時,禁止吃麻油酒煮食物, no sesame-oil-and-wine dish in the first seven days if the wound is red or painful.
