Since motherwort has a cooling property and has the effect of promoting blood circulation and regulating menstruation, it can be used to treat scanty menstruation, relieve menstrual pain, and alleviate postpartum abdominal pain.

[Don't take motherwort casually]
Some people believe that motherwort is very beneficial to women's health and is a pure Chinese herbal medicine with no side effects, so it can be taken as a long-term health supplement. However, this is a misconception.
As we all know, "all medicines have side effects". Therefore, it is not recommended to take medication without symptoms. Moreover, motherwort can easily damage the spleen and stomach, so it should not be taken for a long time. Especially for people with poor digestion, frequent diarrhea, and weak spleen and stomach, it is not suitable to take motherwort. They can choose angelica paste or angelica pills to promote blood circulation and resolve stasis.
Some people with pelvic inflammatory disease, cervical inflammation, and other gynecological inflammations think that taking motherwort particles alone can cure the disease, but this is also incorrect. Using motherwort alone has a mild and slow effect and cannot achieve good results in treating inflammation. If you have gynecological inflammation, you must go to the hospital for proper treatment. In addition, it is worth noting that pregnant women should not take motherwort or similar drugs as it can easily induce miscarriage.
