What are the precautions for head massage during menstruation

In life, we often hear female friends talk about the topic of uterine cold and body cold.

During menstruation, women lose a large amount of menstrual blood, which leads to loss of Qi and blood. Deficiency of Qi and blood leads to poor blood circulation, blood stasis causes blood obstruction, and obstruction causes pain. If not treated in time, it will turn into periodic or other types of more severe headaches. To treat this type of headache, the deficiency of Qi and blood should be treated fundamentally. At this time, massaging the Zusanli, Taiyang and Yintang points to replenish qi and blood is the best choice for treating menstrual headaches.
