Can I eat donkey-hide gelatin during my menstrual period?

Donkey-hide gelatin cake is a holy medicine for replenishing blood, replenishing qi and activating blood circulation. It has a very good repair and buffering effect on women who need to take medicine to treat irregular menstruation caused by deficiency of both qi and blood. Taking donkey-hide gelatin can promote the conversion of blood cells and hemoglobin concentrations in the blood (the effect is better than iron supplementation). Because the main effect of donkey-hide gelatin is to nourish blood and qi, it is suitable for people with both qi and blood deficiency. Therefore, it is most appropriate for women with pale complexion and no blood on their fingernails and lips to take it when they have both qi and blood deficiency.

Many women think that they should eat some hot and humid things during menstruation, such as jujube and donkey-hide gelatin cake to replenish blood and qi. In fact, this is a very vague and incorrect idea.

Experts point out that although donkey-hide gelatin cake has a very good effect in replenishing blood and qi, if consumed during menstruation, it will cause menstrual fluctuations such as reduced menstrual volume and incomplete menstruation. Normal single women who took donkey-hide gelatin cake for the first time during the non-menstrual period may experience delayed menstruation.

The reason why you can’t eat donkey-hide gelatin during menstruation: Because donkey-hide gelatin cake not only has the effect of nourishing blood and qi, but also has the effect of activating blood circulation, therefore, women should not eat donkey-hide gelatin cake before menstruation.

Food taboos for women before and after their menstrual period:

Before menstruation: regulate blood and qi in time, avoid eating foods that are too hot in nature, and take some tangerine peel maple bucket, radix oryzae, yam (to strengthen the spleen and stomach), chuanxiong, lotus root (to supplement calcium), kelp shreds (to relieve cough and reduce phlegm, facilitate urination, moisturize the intestines and detoxify the body).

During the menstrual period: Yin blood flows downward, Qi and blood are strong, so it is not suitable to eat things that are hot in Qi and blood, such as jujube, donkey-hide gelatin cake, etc.

After menstruation: You need to nourish yin and reduce fire, and replenish the blood and qi that have previously outflowed. You can cook some nourishing and health-preserving soups, such as black-bone chicken with wolfberry and red dates soup, etc. You can also eat pork ribs, Chinese yam, and lotus root. Of course, it is best to take Chinese herbal medicines that nourish yin and blood. In addition, you can also eat more black foods during this period, such as fungus, black beans, crucian carp, and loach.
