During the physiological period, i.e. menstruation, women who are not feeling well during menstruation can usually take Chinese herbal medicines according to their symptoms.
Generally speaking, during menstruation, if a woman is not feeling well, she can use Chinese medicines according to her symptoms. However, some Chinese medicines have the effects of stopping bleeding, activating blood circulation and tonifying blood, which may lead to excessive menstruation or too little menstruation. Therefore, women should be cautious in taking Chinese medicines that stop bleeding, activate blood circulation and tonify blood during menstruation.
In addition, some Chinese herbal medicines have obvious properties of heat and cold, and heat and cold may also affect the discharge of menstrual blood, which may seriously lead to dysmenorrhea, so women should also be cautious in taking some Chinese herbal medicines with obvious properties of heat and cold during menstruation.
For the sake of medication safety, if women need to use Chinese medicines during menstruation, it is recommended that they choose and use Chinese medicines under the guidance of a doctor or pharmacist, in order to prevent harm to the body.
