Many women, especially young women, experience menstrual cramps. Menstrual cramps in the lower abdomen or back usually start one or two days before menstrual flow, and last through the first two days of the period.
From traditional Chinese medicine (TCM)'s point of view, menstrual cramps are related to cold accumulation in the lower abdomen. This can be caused by eating too much ice cream during menstruation, or getting wet and cold in rainy weather. This results in Qi stagnation and Blood stasis in the uterus and subsequently menstrual cramps.
Therefore, a main approach of TCM to menstrual cramp is to warm the uterus to expel the cold, while invigorating blood and Qi flow to remove blood stasis.
