What does it do?
Many women experience menstrual cramps or menstrual pain, so-called dysmenorrhea
in medical terms, especially when they are in young ages. Menstrual cramps are mild to severe pains in
the lower abdomen or back that usually start one or two days before menstrual flow, and
last through the first 2 days of the period. Menstrual pain usually does not indicate a more serious problem,
but sometimes it can be caused by endometriosis or uterine fibroids. Menstrual cramps may be relieved with
common pain killers like acetaminophen (Tylenol) and NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) such as aspirin and
ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil).
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has long been used to help menstrual cramps by Chinese women.
From the perspective of TCM, in most cases, menstrual cramps are related to the cold accumulation in the lower abdomen
(e. g., taking too much ice cream during period or getting wet in a cold and rainy weather.),
followed by the Qi stagnation, and blood stasis in the uterus. The pain occurs as the result of blockage of Qi and Blood flow.
Therefore, a main approach of TCM to menstrual pain is to warm the uterus to expel the cold and
promote blood circulation and Qi flow to remove blood stasis. In a widely reported study in 2007 researchers
found that the Chinese medicine approach may be even better than drugs at relieving menstrual pain.†
