What are the contraindications of taking Chinese medicine for regulating menstruation?

I believe that in daily life, many women always feel uncomfortable for a few days every month. In fact, this is the arrival of the menstrual period. If menstruation is irregular, it will lead to dysmenorrhea, symptoms of excessive or insufficient menstrual flow, and in the worst cases, you will be unable to get out of bed and can only lie in bed to rest. Therefore, it is very necessary to use Chinese medicine to regulate menstruation. So what are the taboos of taking Chinese medicine for regulating menstruation? Let us learn about it together.

1. For those who have early menstruation due to blood heat, be sure to avoid eating spicy foods, onions, garlic, ginger and other irritating foods. These foods may offset the effects of Chinese medicine and even cause more negative effects. It is better not to take Chinese medicine. If this is the case, then the effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine will not be fully exerted, which would be a waste of time and effort.

2. For those who have abnormal menstruation due to deficiency and cold, they usually feel cold in the body, so they should avoid eating raw and cold fruits, sour, cold, bitter and spicy foods. Therefore, when taking medicines for regulating menstruation, do not eat these foods, no matter how little. You must do this during the period of taking the medicine so that it can truly play a regulating role.

3. Seafood is a taboo for any Chinese medicine, so seafood cannot be consumed when taking Chinese medicine for regulating menstruation. Everyone should learn to control themselves and learn to avoid seafood.

1. Choosing the correct time to take Chinese medicine will achieve the best therapeutic effect, especially for Chinese medicine. The time to take Chinese medicine should be determined according to the condition and the nature of the medicine. Most medicines should be taken half an hour to one hour after a meal to reduce the direct irritation of the drug to the gastric mucosa.

2. When using traditional Chinese medicine, pay attention to the four properties and five flavors, and formulate prescriptions based on the cold, hot, warm, and cool properties of the medicine, and refer to the five flavors of pungent, sweet, sour, bitter, and salty. When taking medicine on an empty stomach, cold medicines or medicines with strong flavors may cause certain damage to the gastric mucosa.

3. Different types of Chinese medicine require different times of taking. For liver, kidney, or intestinal diseases, it is advisable to take medication before meals. For dizziness and throat diseases, it is best to take medicine after meals. Laxatives, tonics and anthelmintics should be taken on an empty stomach. Tranquilizers should be taken before bedtime.

The above paragraphs have revealed some of the taboos of taking Chinese medicine for regulating menstruation. I sincerely hope that female friends who have this disease can read the above content carefully so that they can get better use of it in our daily menstrual period. Of course, I would also like to remind everyone that women’s resistance and immunity are relatively low during their menstrual period, so they need to keep warm a lot.
