When it comes to uterine coldness, many women associate it with pain and infertility. There is even a saying that "ten out of nine women have coldness in the uterus." So how can we regulate uterine coldness?
Diet
On one hand, women with uterine coldness should avoid consuming cold and cooling foods, such as cold drinks, ice cream, and bitter melon.
On the other hand, they should focus on consuming warm and nourishing foods. For example, they can drink a soup made from mugwort, ginger, and brown sugar; have a soup made from Chinese angelica, wolfberry, and black-bone chicken to warm their bodies; or try a stewed chicken dish with motherwort to warm their abdomen and regulate their menstrual cycle.
Chinese Herbal Medicine
Women with uterine coldness can add Chinese herbal medicine to their diet and make medicinal meals with substances such as donkey-hide gelatin, safflower, longan meat, and wolfberry. They can also take Chinese patent medicine. For uterine coldness, they can take warming uterine pills or Ai Fu Nuan Gong Wan. For kidney yang deficiency, they can take kidney qi pills.
However, it is important to consult a doctor before self-diagnosing uterine coldness or deciding to take medication.
Moxibustion
Moxibustion can help warm the meridians, dispel coldness, promote qi circulation, regulate yang, and boost immune function. For women with uterine coldness, moxibustion can be applied to acupoints such as Guan Yuan, Qi Hai, Shen Que, and Ming Men.
Daily Health Care
Firstly, women with uterine coldness should pay attention to dressing warmly, especially during menstruation, to avoid exacerbating menstrual pain due to coldness.
Secondly, because women with uterine coldness tend to feel cold, have cold hands and feet, and have poor blood circulation, they can soak their feet, rub the soles of their feet, rub their waist, and apply a hot compress to their belly button for health maintenance.
Furthermore, according to traditional Chinese medicine, movement generates yang energy. Engaging in regular exercise can improve blood circulation, regulate qi and blood, expel cold pathogens, and enhance physical constitution.
Although uterine coldness poses multiple risks to women, it is not something to be feared. By adjusting their diet, using Chinese herbal medicine, practicing moxibustion, and engaging in exercise, women can overcome the troubles caused by uterine coldness.
