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

Menstruation is a physiological phenomenon that every woman experiences. Generally speaking, if young women do not have normal menstruation, they are likely to develop some serious physical illnesses. Therefore, ensuring normal menstruation means ensuring good health. When irregular menstruation occurs, it can actually be treated with Chinese medicine. So what are the taboos for regulating women’s irregular menstruation? Let’s talk about it below.

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. When women take Chinese medicine during menstruation, they should choose the correct time to take the medicine to get 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.

4. 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.

If any abnormal situation occurs, it must be adjusted in time. This will achieve better results in preventing the occurrence of diseases. If the symptoms of irregular menstruation are not treated in time, serious diseases may occur in the body. In addition, when using medication, you must pay attention to the contraindications of the medication.
