Mucuna pruriens is effective in promoting qi movement and relieving pain (by regulating the body’s qi to relieve pain), and can treat dysmenorrhea caused by qi stagnation and blood stasis, while rhubarb is effective in clearing away heat and inducing dampness, and can treat dysmenorrhea caused by dampness-heat agglutination (the accumulation of dampness and heat evils in the body). However, it is important to note that the effectiveness of a single medicine in treating dysmenorrhea is limited, and it needs to be used in combination with other Chinese medicines to achieve a good therapeutic effect. Mullein and rhubarb are both Chinese medicines, but their effects and functions are completely different. Mucuna pruriens can be used clinically to move qi and relieve pain, strengthen the spleen and eliminate food, and can be paired with safflower and other medicines to treat dysmenorrhea caused by qi stagnation and blood stasis. Symptoms include bloating and pain in the abdomen and refusing to be pressed during the premenstrual period or the menstrual period, a small amount of menstruation, poor menstruation, dark purple lumps, and swelling and pain in the chest, breasts, and other areas. Mucuna pruriens should be used with caution in cases of Yin deficiency and fire exuberance. Rhubarb, on the other hand, can clear heat and fire, diuretic, and can treat dysmenorrhea belonging to the damp-heat accumulation, with symptoms such as excessive discharge, yellowish, thick and smelly, low-grade fever, and yellowish-reddish urine. Rhubarb should be used with caution for people with weak spleen and stomach. Dysmenorrhea patients, should be based on their own specific circumstances in the TCM physician under the guidance of the identification of medication, not blindly self-medication.
