Period Pain, Irregular Cycles & Hormonal Imbalance: What TCM Sees That Western Medicine Misses

"In TCM, a woman's health is deeply tied to the quality of her Blood and the smooth flow of Qi. When either is disrupted, symptoms appear — from PMS to fertility challenges."

---

TCM has over 2,000 years of dedicated gynaecological texts. Rather than suppressing symptoms, it seeks to regulate the root cause — whether that's Blood deficiency, Qi stagnation, Cold in the Uterus, or Liver Qi stagnation.

🌸 Common Women's Patterns in TCM

• Blood Deficiency — Late, scanty, pale periods; dizziness; dry skin; insomnia
• Qi Stagnation — Breast tenderness, mood swings, clotty periods, frustration
• Cold Uterus — Painful, dark periods relieved by heat; cold lower abdomen
• Kidney Deficiency — Irregular cycles, fertility concerns, lower back ache during period

💊 TCM Herbs for Women

• Dang Gui (当归) — The "female ginseng". Nourishes and moves Blood. Core herb in most women's formulas.
• Bai Shao (白芍) — Nourishes Blood, calms Liver Qi. Excellent for PMS and cramps.
• Shu Di Huang (熟地黄) — Deep Blood and Yin nourishment for deficient patterns.
• Yi Mu Cao (益母草) — "Mother's herb" — moves Blood, regulates menstruation.

Note: All herbal prescriptions should be tailored by a qualified TCM physician. Self-medicating during pregnancy is not advised.
