A woman's life is like a flower, from germination to blooming, and then to withering. According to the laws of nature, each stage has its own ups and downs. However, whether the flower of youth can bloom often may be the desire of every woman. The reporter interviewed Dr. Xia Han from Shenzhen No.2 Chinese Medicine Hospital on this issue. "From the perspective of Chinese medicine, aftercare is particularly important for women. Special aftercare in a specific period can slow down the aging of women and make the blooming of women's lives more lasting and beautiful. " According to Dr. Xia Han, it is very effective for most female friends to take care of themselves four times a month, especially according to the menstrual regularity.
The first week: nourishing yin and blood
The recovery cycle begins in the first week after the last menstruation. "From the perspective of Chinese medicine, when women just finished menstruation, they lost a lot of yin and blood, so they need to nourish yin and replenish blood to promote the accumulation of yin in the body. Enough yin and blood can prepare for the next menstruation. " According to Dr. Han, the current treatment prescription is: 9 grams of Radix Rehmanniae Preparata, 9 grams of Radix Polygoni Multiflori Preparata, 3 grams of Radix Angelicae Sinensis and 3 grams of parched Radix Paeoniae Alba, 6 grams of Colla Corii Asini, 3 pieces of longan pulp, and a section of pig spine. The specific method is to make soup, usually cooked with pig spine. "In the formula, Radix Rehmanniae Preparata nourishes kidney yin, Radix Polygoni Multiflori nourishes liver yin, Radix Angelicae Sinensis nourishes blood, Colla Corii Asini and Radix Paeoniae Alba nourishes yin and blood, and pig bones are flesh and blood. Chinese medicine believes that pigs are aquatic animals, so they also nourish yin. When making, you can add a little seasoning according to your own taste, but not too much, add a little salt. This soup tastes good. Drinking two or three days a week can help yin blood breed. "
