Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it is more necessary to take care of the body during menstruation.

　　Menstrual cramps are something that healthy women must experience every month. Regular menstrual cramps prove that a woman is in good health. Many women will experience various situations during their menstrual period. Sometimes the menstrual flow will be very light, and sometimes there will even be dysmenorrhea. Sometimes there will be varying degrees of pain in certain parts of the body. These phenomena all indicate that there are problems in the woman's body in these places, which require timely treatment and conditioning.

　　Early cycle is mostly due to overwork

　　Menstrual cycles of less than 21 days are mostly caused by kidney deficiency, qi deficiency or blood heat. Clinically, qi and yin deficiency are the most common. Overwork or improper diet are most likely to damage Qi, which can lead to early menstruation. People with hot blood have accelerated blood flow, which may also lead to early menstruation. In addition to natural constitution, excessive consumption of spicy food can also aggravate blood heat symptoms.

　　Menstrual cycles exceeding 35 days are often caused by qi stagnation, blood stasis or phlegm-dampness, which leads to blockage of the Chong mei and Ren mei, resulting in irregular menstruation and delayed menstruation. The most common root cause is insufficient essence and blood caused by kidney deficiency, so when recuperating, you should pay attention to replenishing the essence and blood in the kidney, and you can eat more wolfberries, yams, etc. Irregular menstruation is often caused by kidney deficiency or liver stagnation. The two are often mixed together, and sometimes the severity is severe.

　　Menstrual pain, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis

　　Menstruation is often accompanied by various physical discomforts, among which pain is the most common, such as stomachache, backache, etc. Different pain locations and types can often explain some problems.

　　Stomach pain is the most typical symptom of dysmenorrhea, which is mostly caused by disharmony between qi and blood. According to traditional Chinese medicine, blockage results in pain, and this is also the principle of dysmenorrhea. If there is swelling and pain, it indicates qi stagnation; if the stinging pain is obvious, it may be blood stasis; if you feel colic, it may be blood stasis caused by cold. To deal with dysmenorrhea, traditional Chinese medicine often adopts prescriptions for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, such as peach kernel, safflower, myrrh, etc. Another common symptom is low back pain. Low back pain during menstruation may be related to kidney deficiency and blood stasis. At this time, it is recommended to relieve discomfort by activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis on the basis of nourishing the kidneys, such as using hawthorn, rose and other Chinese medicines instead of tea.

　　Many women take painkillers every time they experience dysmenorrhea, which is very harmful to the body. When suffering from dysmenorrhea, it is recommended to boil water with ginger brown sugar and drink it, and pay attention to getting enough rest to avoid being anxious, angry, furious and other emotions, not to mention being greedy for cold. Traditional Chinese medicine conditioning should also adhere to a certain cycle, and it usually takes more than 3 months to take effect. Do not interrupt the conditioning at will.

　　Bloody black with moxa leaf foot soak

　　Traditional Chinese medicine believes that normal menstruation should be dark red in color, neither thin nor thick, non-coagulated, free of blood clots, and free of special odor. At the beginning of menstruation, the amount may be less and the color may be lighter. In the middle period, the color will deepen and become dark red. By the end of menstruation, the color may become lighter again.

　　However, if the color is still too light and the texture is thin in the mid-term, the possibility of deficiency syndrome should be considered. Common prescriptions include Sijunzi Decoction, Siwu Decoction, Liuwei Dihuang Pills, etc. If the color of menstruation is dark or even black, and there are blood clots, it is often related to blood stasis. You can try local hot compress, or soak your feet with safflower and mugwort leaves. You should also pay attention to the bright red color of menstruation, which indicates that there may be heat in the body. You should eat less meat such as chicken and sheep, and eat more lily, honey and other heat-clearing and moisturizing products. Clinically, menstrual color should be comprehensively considered with menstrual period, menstrual volume, etc., and then syndrome differentiation and treatment should be based on physical characteristics.

　　Menstruation is not only a woman's ovulation period. In many cases, we can use menstruation to see whether a woman's body is healthy and what problems her body has. Therefore, women must take good care of their bodies during menstruation to keep themselves away from diseases.
