TCM health care grasps the four periods of menstruation and makes your face red and bloodshot.
The first stage: menstrual period (5-7 days of menstrual cramps)
"the truth doesn't hurt, the truth doesn't hurt." Many women have the habit of dysmenorrhea, a large part of which is caused by qi stagnation and blood stasis. Whether the menstrual blood of women can be discharged smoothly is also directly related to their health in the future. Therefore, to ensure the smooth discharge of menstrual blood, it is necessary to focus on "temperature" at this time.
At this time, in addition to keeping warm, we should pay attention to our daily diet and don't eat some cold food. In particular, don't eat spicy food, otherwise it will cause excessive menstrual blood, which will lead to anemia. If you eat some cold food at this time, it will easily lead to blood coagulation and congestion during menstruation.
The second stage: long cloudy period (7- 10 days after the end of menstruation)
Generally, menstrual blood has been completely discharged at this stage, but at this time, yin blood is in a state of deficiency, which is called "yin period" by Chinese medicine. At this stage, we should pay attention to nourishing the dirty, so that the yin blood is gradually sufficient and make full preparations for the next menstruation.
But at this time also need to pay attention to two points:
1, don't stay up late at this time, especially avoid staying up late, otherwise it will affect the supplement of Yin blood and consume Yin blood.
2, although menstrual blood has been discharged, but this time still can not be greedy, not to mention eating some cold food. If you eat cold food at will and often stay up late at this time, it is easy to cause endocrine disorders and menstrual disorders, which will affect pregnancy.
Experts remind that at this time, women may wish to eat more nourishing yin and blood and some drugs, such as Ligustrum lucidum, Mulberry, Lycium barbarum and Angelica sinensis. However, if women with poor spleen and stomach function are not suitable for eating these nourishing foods, they can also eat some foods and drugs that strengthen the spleen and stimulate appetite, such as Amomum villosum and dried tangerine peel.
The third stage: ovulation (menstrual interval of 3-5 days)
According to ancient medical books, women feel fever one day every month, accompanied by more transparent and brush-like leucorrhea, indicating that the body is preparing for pregnancy. At this time, the yin in the body is also rising, gradually entering the process of changing from yin to yang. At this time, women have a strong sexual impulse.
The last thing you should do at this time is to get excited, and you'd better keep your mood stable. Because ovulation only takes two or three days, female friends who plan to get pregnant can arrange sex life in these two or three days. At the same time, we must maintain an optimistic and stable mood, which is more conducive to the success rate of conception. In diet, on the basis of the second stage, some drugs such as Schizonepeta, Salvia miltiorrhiza and Cinnamomum cassia can be added. , can effectively promote ovulation.
The fourth stage: Yanglong period (5-7 days after ovulation to before the next menstruation)
This stage is the best time to conceive, because the female uterus is full of yin and blood. But at this time, women had better not catch a cold or eat some low-temperature food. In particular, it is best not to eat more cold foods, such as pears, grapes, mangosteen and watermelons.
Although many female friends are young, they look much older than their peers, which is largely due to the lack of good care during menstruation. Moreover, experts remind that it is best not to have sex during menstruation, so as not to cause various problems.
