The Effect of Consuming Ginger Tea on Increasing Breast Milk Production

In Indonesia, the low coverage of exclusive breastfeeding and the high rate of stunting are mostly due to inadequate breast milk production. The purpose of this research is to examine the efficacy of infrared therapy, ginger boreh, and ginger herbal therapy in promoting breast milk production in nursing moms. With a pre-experimental layout using a one-group pretest–posttest design, this research employed a quantitative methodology. Prior to the intervention and again after it was administered, the study participants were watched. Postpartum women in the Rum Balibunga Community Health Center's working area comprised the study population. Using a purposive sampling approach, 30 breastfeeding moms were chosen for the study sample based on pre-established inclusion and exclusion criteria. The statistical analysis, which utilized the Wilcoxon test, revealed a significance value of 0.000, which is less than the significance threshold of 0.05 (p < 0.05). It may therefore be concluded that infrared therapy, ginger boreh, and ginger herbal therapy are all successful in boosting breast milk output in postpartum moms. This study's findings can serve as a foundation for future research, as well as an alternative therapy for postpartum women in breastfeeding care, by enhancing procedures and introducing other interventional advances.
