What Not to Do During Menstruation
Women experience menstruation every month, and this is actually a good opportunity for detoxification and metabolism in the female body. However, sometimes we find these days particularly difficult and uncomfortable. So how can we smoothly and easily get through this period? Let's share some things to pay attention to during menstruation.
1. "Blood is the foundation for women." Menstruation is especially important for women, as it is a good opportunity for detoxification and metabolism in the female body. However, sometimes we find these days particularly difficult and uncomfortable. So how can we safely get through this period? Today, I will share with you some things to pay attention to during menstruation.
2. Women should avoid getting cold during menstruation. Getting cold can lead to blood stasis in the menstrual blood, which originally is in liquid form. When it becomes solid due to getting cold, it is difficult to be expelled from the body, leading to dysmenorrhea and gynecological diseases. Therefore, women should not prioritize beauty during menstruation and avoid wearing skirts in the winter.
3. Women should not drink alcohol during menstruation. Traditional Chinese medicine states that the liver stores blood, and during menstruation, the body needs to consume qi and blood to facilitate the shedding of the endometrium. Alcohol at this time will further burden the liver and can be harmful. Therefore, avoid drinking alcohol during this period to prevent harm to the body.
4. Women should not wash their hair during menstruation. Many girls find that their menstrual flow decreases when washing their hair during menstruation. This is because a significant amount of qi is needed during menstruation to promote the flow of menstrual blood. Washing the hair at this time will drain the qi from the scalp. If your qi is already deficient, it can lead to the retention of endometrial fragments that should be expelled, resulting in gynecological diseases.
