Menstrual problems always bother women, and different women have different menstrual problems. Blood clots during menstruation is a common menstrual problem. Under normal circumstances, menstruation is bright red, without purple or dark clots. Once menstruation with blood clots occurs, it is often accompanied by dysmenorrhea. So, what should you do if there are blood clots during menstruation? For women who have blood clots during menstruation, Chinese medicine believes that it is mostly related to blood stasis, and they often have symptoms of qi stagnation and blood stasis, such as rough, dull facial skin, and acne. Some patients experience facial pigmentation, which directly affects their facial beauty. So menstrual blood clots can be regulated by the following two methods:

Method 1: Dietary improvement and conditioning

Those with clogged periods should pay attention to menstrual protection, keep warm in winter to prevent catching cold, avoid eating raw or cold food, avoid overwork, maintain a happy mood, and combine work and rest.

If the menstrual blood is less in quantity and lighter in color, it is a sign of "blood deficiency and body weakness" and you should use angelica, astragalus, rehmannia, longan, ginseng, etc. to nourish the body. If you have a "deficient and cold" constitution with cold hands and feet, you can eat cinnamon twigs, fennel, and mugwort to warm your body.
