Can I take Qi and blood tonic medicine during menstruation?

Menstruation is one of women's most loyal friends and the most important physiological phenomenon for women. It is one of the most direct manifestations of women as maternal creatures. However, menstruation can harm women's health. Therefore, some women like to take some qi and blood tonic medicines to regulate their bodies during menstruation, but some people think this is incorrect. So, can you take qi and blood tonic medicines during menstruation?

If the menstrual flow is heavy and the person feels dizzy, weak, sore limbs and other weak symptoms, he or she can take some Chinese medicine for replenishing qi and nourishing blood. There will be no harm as long as the medicine does not contain blood-damaging medicine.

Generally speaking, medication is not taken during menstruation. During a menstrual cycle, it is not advisable to supplement during the menstrual period, because it is a process from full to overflow, which is a process of endometrial exfoliation in Western medicine. Therefore, if Chinese medicine for replenishing qi and blood is used, it may lead to incomplete endometrial exfoliation. In the later period of menstruation, the blood sea is empty and should be supplemented. Therefore, it is recommended to temporarily stop taking the medicine during menstruation. If the symptoms are still severe, take it after menstruation.

Therefore, it is best not to take Chinese medicine for replenishing qi and blood during menstruation, as it may cause heavy menstrual flow. It is better to take the medicine after menstruation. If you have your period in the future, pay attention to keeping warm, avoid cold, rest more, avoid strenuous exercise, avoid eating spicy and irritating foods, and pay attention to relaxing.

From the above explanation, the question of whether you can take qi and blood tonic medicines during menstruation is very obvious. Because women are in a vulnerable period physically during menstruation, their resistance will decrease accordingly. At this time, if you take some qi and blood tonic medicines, it will easily cause excessive blood loss, thus endangering your health.
