From the perspective of modern medicine, the normal amount of menstrual bleeding for women should be 20-60 milliliters per month. If the amount of menstrual bleeding exceeds 80 milliliters, it is likely to be "menorrhagia." Common subtypes of menorrhagia include qi deficiency, blood heat, and blood stasis. Excessive menstrual bleeding in patients with qi deficiency is mainly due to deficiency of both blood and qi, improper diet, excessive fatigue, serious illness or long-term illness affecting qi and blood, and insufficient middle qi. Excessive bleeding in patients with blood heat is often caused by spicy diet, invasion of pathogenic factors, excessive emotional stress, stagnation of heat, and disturbance of the Chong and Ren meridians. Excessive bleeding in patients with blood stasis is caused by qi stagnation leading to blood stasis, residual blood after childbirth, invasion of cold pathogenic factors during menstruation, or indulgence in sexual activities during menstruation, resulting in blood stasis and deviation of blood from the meridians.
In addition to causing inconvenience in daily life and physical weakness, excessive menstrual bleeding also has symptoms of serious underlying diseases. Prolonged excessive menstrual bleeding may carry the risk of iron-deficiency anemia, so women must pay attention to excessive menstrual bleeding. Here, I recommend a folk recipe for you:
[Traditional Chinese Medicine Recipe]: Goji Berry Stewed Lamb
[Ingredients]
Lamb leg meat 1000 grams, goji berries 50 grams, seasoning as needed.
[Instructions]
Boil the whole piece of lamb meat in hot water. Put it in cold water to wash away the blood foam, then cut it into pieces. Heat oil in a pot, add the lamb meat and ginger, and add a little cooking wine. Stir-fry and then add goji berries, clear soup (about 2000 milliliters), salt, and spring onion. Bring to a boil, remove any impurities, and simmer over low heat for an hour and a half. When the lamb meat is tender, it is ready to be served with the meat and soup.
