Guest guest Posted June 2, 2002 Report Share Posted June 2, 2002 Dear group, What is the prevailing opinion on the use of Mai Ya and Gu Ya in lactation? does either one inhibit lactation? Julie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 3, 2002 Report Share Posted June 3, 2002 Dear Dr. Bob, Two questions. (1) In how many days do you expect results? (2) Has anyone heard of using Mang Xiao as a topical agent to 'stem' (is that the correct translation from the Chinese?) lactation?

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2002 Report Share Posted June 3, 2002 Julie, I have lots of experience using Mai Ya to stem lactation, both in China and the U.S. To achieve this effect, the med must be used in large doses (30-60g) and lightly stir-fried till aromatic. I have found this med to be very dependable for this effect, and there is quite a lot of published research on this med's effect on PRL. I have used Mai Ya for women who had lost their babies during birthing, for women with galactorrhea due to hyperprolactinemia, and for women with galactorrhea-amenorrhea syndrome, and it has always worked. Another med that is sometimes used in China for this purpose is Fructus Crataegi (Shan Zha), but I don't have any experience using it for this purpose. I have never heard , read, or seen Gu Ya used for stemming lactation.

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2002 Report Share Posted June 4, 2002 Gu Neiqiang uses Mai Ya at large doses in the treatment hyperprolactinemia. He is presenting on the subject at the AAOM conference in DC this fall. Will mai ya purportedly has this effect, but not gu ya, as far as I know (I might be wrong). the dose is high (30g/day). it's use for this purpose as a single suggests it developed from folk medicine. I have no idea whether it actually works. Even if one takes it for this purpose, how do you know the lactation did not just stop of its own accord? it certainly can't hurt. just sprouts.

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2002 Report Share Posted June 4, 2002 I have had experience with stopping lactation --- using 60g/day. It did work sympomatically. Turned out the reason the lady couldn't stop lactating was that she had a pituitary gland tumor. She went through chemo --- but as long as she used the Mai Ya, she didn't leak.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2002 Report Share Posted June 6, 2002 I've seen results within 24 hours, but certaininly within 72 in terms of stopping lactation postpartum.
