Most of the causes of dysmenorrhea are due to blood stasis, which refers to the poor circulation of fluids and the presence of stagnant blood. The "Compendium of Materia Medica" has mentioned that safflower has the function of regulating blood vessels. Use "Hawthorn Safflower Wine" to regulate the body and treat dysmenorrhea!
【Formula】
Safflower 30g, Hawthorn 60g.
【Method】
Soak the above ingredients in 500ml of white wine for 7 days, and set aside.
【Usage】
Oral administration. Take 15-30ml each time, depending on the amount of wine, do not get drunk, twice a day.
【Indications】
Scanty menstrual flow, dark purple clots, lower abdominal distention and pain, tenderness upon palpation, decreased pain after passing blood clots, dark purple stasis points visible on the tongue, deep and hesitant pulse.
【Common blood-activating and stasis-resolving Chinese herbs used in wine】

Salvia miltiorrhiza: Activates blood, resolves stasis, sedates and relieves pain. Improves myocardial ischemia, enhances heart function, and regulates heart rhythm.

【Precautions】
It is worth noting that the safflower used here is not saffron, let alone saffron. If you mistakenly use saffron instead of safflower to make a drink, you may become infertile before your menstruation is regulated, and further regulation will be of little use.
When drinking Hawthorn Safflower Wine, it is recommended to drink it twice a day, with a dosage of about 15-30ml each time, not too much to avoid getting drunk.
