Traditional Chinese medicine believes that women are based on blood, and menstruation is derived from blood. Blood comes from the organs, so if the organs are in harmony, the blood will be abundant and the blood vessels will be unobstructed, resulting in normal menstruation. If medication is used to block the normal circulation of qi and blood, or if qi is depleted and blood is affected, or if the stomach is damaged and fluids are depleted, it will cause menstrual disorders. Therefore, women should be cautious when taking medications with cooling, nourishing, and blood-activating effects during menstruation.
