(Section [-]) Get rid of the unspeakable concealment, and come out generously and beautifully
In modern society, as a woman!Under the pressure of work and life!Many women are troubled by irregular menstruation, constipation and other problems. If it is because of their own constitution, they may also have depressing body odor. In summer, they dare not wear short-sleeved and camisole tops, which will greatly reduce your beauty.If you make good use of traditional Chinese medicine for recuperation, you can get rid of the unspeakable secrets and make them appear generous and beautiful.

Irregular menstruation
As the saying goes, being a man is hard, being a woman is even harder.Generally, women will encounter irregular menstruation more or less throughout their lives, either always ahead of time, or always delayed, or too much, or too little, or the taste is a bit strange.

In fact, you don’t need to be too alarmed if you experience irregular menstruation once or twice due to environmental changes and emotional changes. Adjust your living habits and mentality, and your menstruation will naturally recover.But you have to pay attention to long-term irregular menstruation.

Irregular menstruation may be caused by congenital deficiencies, injury by the seven emotions, exogenous factors and six evils, labor in the labor room, and damage to the viscera.For the treatment of irregular menstruation, it should generally start with nourishing the kidney, supporting the spleen, soothing the liver, and regulating qi and blood.Traditional Chinese medicine believes that menstrual water comes from the kidneys, so the root of regulating menstruation is to nourish the kidneys.Through conditioning, the kidney qi is sufficient, the essence and blood are strong, and menstruation is naturally smoothed.Therefore, traditional Chinese medicine has emphasized that women should replenish qi and blood in time, drink some chicken soup when menstruation comes, and eat more red dates, longan, egg yolk, beans, rapeseed, lettuce, celery, etc., all of which can relieve physical discomfort during menstruation.

During menstruation, ladies, remember to keep your mouth shut, and don't eat too spicy food, so as not to consume Yin blood, or let the heat force the blood down, leading to early menstruation, excessive menstrual blood, and don't eat too much. Eat more cold food, so as not to "cold in the blood", let the cold freeze the blood, and it will not run smoothly, resulting in delayed or less menstruation.

Dietary conditioning in advance of menstruation

It refers to the shortened menstrual cycle, shorter than 21 days, and more than 2 consecutive cycles, the follicular phase is short, only 7-8 days; or the luteal phase is shorter than 10 days, or the body temperature rises less than 0.52.

If menstruation is early, but the amount is small and pale, accompanied by symptoms such as pale face and frailty, it is a deficiency of qi and cannot absorb blood. The main treatment is to replenish qi and blood to receive better curative effect.After the beginning of winter, use 1 black-bone chicken, 9 grams each of angelica, astragalus, and poria cocos, wash the chicken, put the medicine into the chicken belly and suture it with thread, cook it thoroughly in a casserole, remove the medicine residue, season and eat meat to drink Soup, served in 2 times.1 dose per day before menstruation, 3-5 doses per menstrual cycle.

Dietary conditioning for delayed menstruation

It refers to the prolongation of the menstrual cycle, more than 35 days, or even once every 40-50 days, and there are more than 1 menstrual cycles in a row.Those who ovulate have biphasic basal body temperature, but the follicular phase is long and the high temperature phase is low; those who do not ovulate have monophasic basal body temperature.

If menstruation is delayed, accompanied by less menstrual blood, sallow complexion, low back pain, and heartbeat, it belongs to blood deficiency, and the treatment will receive better curative effect by mainly nourishing blood and nourishing qi.

It is suitable to nourish blood and regulate menstruation in winter. You can use 500 grams of mutton, 25 grams each of astragalus, codonopsis, and angelica, and 50 grams of ginger.Wash the mutton and ginger and cut into pieces, wrap the medicine in a cloth, put it in a casserole with an appropriate amount of water, boil it over a strong fire, then change to a slow fire and simmer for 2 hours, remove the medicine residue, and take it with seasoning.After menstruation in winter, take 3-5 times a day.

Dietary conditioning for heavy menstruation

The amount of menstrual flow has increased significantly compared with the past, and the general cycle is basically normal.People with qi deficiency often have light red menstruation, clear and thin menstruation, empty lower abdomen, fatigue, dull complexion, palpitations, shortness of breath, lazy speech, pale red tongue, thin white fur, and weak pulse.

It is suitable to invigorate qi and absorb blood, invigorate the spleen and calm the heart.You can use 1 old hen, 10 grams of astragalus, and 15 grams of wormwood leaves. Wash the old hen, cut into pieces, steam or make soup with astragalus and wormwood leaves (cloth bag), and eat in 2-3 times.During the menstrual period in winter, take 2-3 doses.

Diet conditioning for low menstrual flow

The menstrual cycle is basically normal, the menstrual flow is significantly reduced, and even the drip is clear; or the menstrual period is shortened by less than 2 days, and the menstrual flow is also less, all called "oligomenorrhea".It is mostly caused by blood deficiency, qi stagnation, blood stasis, cold blood coagulation, phlegm obstruction and other reasons.

It is advisable to invigorate qi and nourish blood to nourish energy and function. You can use 9-15 grams of Millet Spatholobus (dry product), 10 jujubes, 200 grams of lean pork, and take it by candle.In winter, before each menstruation, take it for 5 days, 1 dose per day.

Many women have symptoms of irregular menstruation.These women all knew that their menstruation was inaccurate, which was probably caused by too much work pressure.Therefore, they indulge in irregular menstruation, thinking that when the work pressure is reduced, menstruation will come naturally.In fact, irregular menstruation is not a serious disease.But menstruation is the wind vane of women's body. If menstruation is irregular for a long time, it will cause endocrine disorders.

Secret

The "Huangdi Neijing" said: "The person with the large intestine is the official of the preaching, and the change is out." Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the normal physiological function of the large intestine is to pass on the transformation and not hide it.After the food that people eat every day is digested and absorbed by the stomach and intestines, the good food nourishes the whole body, and the remaining dross is sent out from the large intestine.Under normal circumstances, it is in a balanced state of "Yin Ping Yang Secret", and the digestion and excretion of the large intestine is normal.Once the yin and yang are out of balance, the transmission of the large intestine is unfavorable, and constipation will occur.

If the kidney yang is lost in warmth, constipation is "yang deficiency and secret"; blood deficiency and body fluid, and stool loss is "blood deficiency and secret". Stomach heat is excessive, stomach heat burns body fluid, body fluid is damaged, and the intestines cannot reach the stomach. If the body fluid is moistened, it will become a "secret heat"; if the temper is insufficient, the qi is deficient, and the transmission of the large intestine is weak, it will be a "secret deficiency".The stool is smooth, and the excreted stool takes away the toxins in the body, so the toxins will not stay in the body; if the stool is not smooth, the toxins cannot be excreted, they will be absorbed by the body and spread throughout the body, leading to the emergence of various diseases.

Body odor
Body odor, the name of the disease, is a symptom of a specific odor caused by underarm sweat, so it is also called armpit odor. It is recorded in "Waitai Miyao": "The source of the disease is the underarm odor. Those who smell like green onions or foxes, so it is called body odor. This is due to the accumulation of blood and energy, so the smell is bad." " Treat the body and underarms after the elbows, which look like the air of a fox, which is called body odor in the world." Modern medical research believes that body odor is distributed in the secretions of apocrine glands distributed on the skin surface of the body, such as the armpits, perineum, and upper back. A peculiar unpleasant smell.It is worse in summer, mostly occurs in adolescence, and can be alleviated or disappeared in old age.
