Can I take Zhi Bai Di Huang Wan when I have my period?

Women generally should not take Zhi Bai Di Huang Wan during their menstrual period. This is because Zhi Pao Di Huang Wan is a traditional Chinese medicine that has the effect of nourishing Yin and tonifying the kidneys and regulating endocrine secretion, which may increase the amount of menstrual blood in women. If a woman wants to take Zhi Pao Di Huang Wan, it is best to take it during the non-menstrual period after the menstrual period in order to improve the body’s immunity and resistance, so as to adjust the body’s endocrine disorders, and also to restore the normal menstrual cycle. Under normal circumstances, women may lose their appetite during menstruation due to the decrease in hormone levels.
