Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that to treat scanty menstruation, the cause of the disease should be identified first, and then symptomatic treatment can be given. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that menstrual fluid comes from the kidneys, so the key to regulating menstruation is to nourish the kidneys. The method of tonifying the kidney is mainly to replenish essence and blood. The function of the spleen is to produce blood. Nourishing the spleen and stomach can replenish the body's blood supply. The spleen-strengthening method focuses on strengthening the spleen and raising yang. The purpose of soothing the liver and regulating qi is to regulate qi and unblock qi and blood. If qi and blood are in harmony, menstruation will be regulated. The method of soothing the liver requires understanding the main symptoms of depression.
