Understanding Palace Coldness in Women: Symptoms and Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatments

January 21, 2024

Nine out of ten women are affected by coldness in the palace. What are the symptoms of palace coldness in women? How can it be treated? Let's take a look together!


Symptoms of palace coldness in women

1. Menstrual disorders

Palace coldness can cause various discomforts in women's bodies, such as nausea, vomiting, coldness in the lower abdomen, and dark menstrual blood with clots.

Especially before menstruation, there may be a sense of heaviness in the lower abdomen, lower back pain, increased vaginal discharge, and breast tenderness. It can be seen that palace coldness is also a major cause of increased menstrual pain and menstrual disorders.

2. Hyperpigmentation, dark circles

Palace coldness can easily lead to stagnation of qi and blood, resulting in dark circles and hyperpigmentation on the face of women.

To improve these facial symptoms, one needs to learn how to warm the palace instead of using cosmetics randomly to remove pigmentation.

By identifying indirect factors that cause changes in facial symptoms, such as palace coldness, targeted treatment can be applied.

3. Infertility


A warm uterus represents smooth circulation of qi and blood in a woman's body, making it easier to conceive. On the contrary, if the uterus is cold, the congealed blood and qi will not only affect facial symptoms but also have a significant impact on fertility.

Therefore, the warmth of the uterus is also a symbol of women's health.

4. Obesity

When the uterus temperature is insufficient, the body needs more fat to compensate for the discomfort caused by palace coldness. The accumulation of a large amount of fat leads to weight gain, which indirectly indicates that women have symptoms of palace coldness.

5. Cold hands and feet

Now that autumn is here, women who are physically weaker and under greater stress, even with the habit of drinking warm water every day, cannot resist the seasonal effects.

The temporary symptoms of palace coldness, such as cold hands and feet and general body chilliness, indicate that the body lacks vital energy and the circulation of qi and blood is not smooth.

6. Lower back pain, poor complexion

If we take 30 years old as a turning point for a woman's health, it is the beginning of skin aging and lower back and knee weakness.

7. Easy miscarriage

Palace coldness can cause a decrease in uterine temperature, and the fetus needs a warm environment as a basis for survival.

Once a woman suffers from palace coldness, miscarriage is more likely to occur.

Traditional Chinese Medicine methods for treating palace coldness


1. Moxibustion therapy

Moxibustion on the Shénquè and Bǎihuì acupoints can regulate the extraordinary meridians and warm the palace to dispel coldness.

2. Regular exercise

"Movement generates yang." People with a cold constitution need exercise to improve their physical condition.

3. Menstrual period care

Drink water boiled with brown sugar and mugwort leaves to warm the palace, dispel coldness, and promote blood circulation.

4. Daily nourishment

Cook soup with Chinese wolfberries, walnuts, longan, jujube, mulberries, Chinese angelica, chicken blood vine, ginger, chicken or mutton. The soup can warm the kidneys, boost yang, nourish essence, and promote blood circulation.

5. Herbal foot soak

Boil water with mugwort leaves, cinnamon, and Sichuan peppercorns, and use it to soak both feet. This has the function of warming the kidneys, dispelling coldness, and promoting meridian circulation.
