What foods are there for menstruation to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis?

Many women will experience blood clots during menstruation. In fact, this is mainly due to the phenomenon of blood circulation in women. That is, the blood is always in a highly coagulated state and the blood flow is relatively slow. After a long time, it will lead to blood stasis, blood vessel stenosis or occlusion. If it is not treated for a long time, it will cause more diseases. Diet therapy has always been popular among people, so what are the foods that can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis during menstruation? Let’s take a look at the following introduction.

Black fungus: It has the functions of invigorating qi and strengthening the body, nourishing the kidneys and stomach, and promoting blood circulation. It can resist thrombosis, lower blood lipids, and resist lipid peroxidation, thereby reducing blood viscosity, softening blood vessels, making blood flow smooth, and reducing the occurrence of cardiovascular disease. Black fungus also has a strong adsorption effect, which is beneficial to the timely excretion of metabolic waste from the body.

Onion: spicy and warm, enters the lung and liver meridians. Onion has the effect of warming yang and activating blood circulation, and has a good lipid-lowering effect. The prostaglandin A contained in onions is a strong vasodilator. The allicin it contains can resist platelet aggregation, thereby reducing peripheral vascular resistance and blood viscosity, and lowering blood pressure.

Ginger: warm in nature, spicy in taste. Ginger can promote blood circulation, strengthen the spleen and stomach, and kill bacteria and detoxify. Studies have shown that ginger can lower cholesterol, blood sugar, blood viscosity, reduce platelet aggregation, and prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular infarction.

Yellow wine: sweet, bitter, pungent, warm, enters the heart, liver, lung, and stomach meridians, has the effects of promoting blood circulation, resisting cold, and promoting the effectiveness of medicines. "Yi Lin Zong Yao" says that it "disperses water, harmonizes blood, promotes qi, helps the kidneys to invigorate yang, and induces sweating." "Compendium of Materia Medica" says: "Aged wine can harmonize the blood and nourish the qi, warm the stomach and ward off the cold; liquor can dispel cold air, dry up dampness and phlegm, and relieve depression." However, people with yin deficiency, blood loss, and severe dampness and heat should avoid drinking it.

Women all have special days, and they need to be more careful during those days, not catching cold, and not eating raw or cold food. In your daily diet, eat more foods that can replenish blood and have the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. This can also effectively relieve dysmenorrhea and is very helpful for women's body and skin.
