Gynecologists teach you how to use menstruation to expel toxins

Menstruation makes women feel mixed emotions. It comes suddenly, making people panic; it comes when it should, making people nervous. But if you understand menstruation, you can turn worries into health and use menstruation to eliminate toxins.

The uterus is called the female uterus in traditional Chinese medicine. During menstruation, the uterus is open and easily invaded by wind, cold and dampness, which may develop into phlegm and blood stasis, and even form tumors. Similarly, the menstrual period is also an excellent opportunity to treat menstrual disorders. The method of warming the meridians and removing blood stasis can be used to expel evil spirits such as wind, cold, and dampness in the uterus.

People with wind evil in their bodies are usually afraid of wind and feel itchy during menstruation. If they seize the opportunity to supplement with blood-enriching and blood-nourishing products such as jujube and donkey-hide gelatin, the wind will no longer cause trouble because "the blood circulates and the wind dies out." People with cold evil in the body usually have cold hands and feet and are afraid of cold. During menstruation, you can fry warm medicines such as dried ginger, fennel, and mugwort, and apply them to the lower abdomen to expel the cold with blood. People with dampness usually have excessive vaginal discharge and a sticky taste in the mouth. They should control their salt intake. During menstruation, they can eat more foods that strengthen the spleen and eliminate dampness, such as coix seed, walnut, radish, red bean, etc. Avoid eating raw and cold fruits and vegetables, sticky foods that damage the spleen, and pickled and cured products.

Paying attention to health care during menstruation can have a multiplier effect on your health, but those with complicated conditions should go to the hospital for treatment.
