One effort that can be done to increase the rate of breast milk production/secretion, accelerate wound healing and increase hemoglobin levels is through the use of traditional herbal medicines. There are several plants that are believed by generations and have also been scientifically proven to support in increasing the quality and quantity of breast milk, accelerating wound healing and increasing hemoglobin levels of postpartum mothers. For example, the Torbangun leaves (Coleus amboinicius). This study examines the effect of administering Torbangun leaf extract (Coleus amboinicus) on breast milk production, perineal wound healing and increasing of HB levels in postpartum mothers. This type of research method uses a quantitative research design with a quasi-experimental approach with a pretest-posttest control group design to determine the effect of administering Torbangun leaf extract (Coleus amboinicus) on breast milk production, perineal wound healing, and increasing of hemoglobin levels in postpartum mothers.
