Irregular menstruation is a common gynecological issue, and its potential effects should not be underestimated, as it may become one of the causes of infertility. Therefore, timely regulation is particularly important.
For irregular menstruation, traditional Chinese medicine offers several dietary therapy options:
The first suggestion is black fungus and red date tea. The preparation method is simple; just boil 30 grams of black fungus with 20 red dates to make a soup, consumed once daily, continuously. This remedy can tonify the middle and boost energy, effectively alleviating excessive menstruation caused by qi deficiency.
Secondly, a strong tea with brown sugar is also a good choice. Take a proper amount of tea leaves and brown sugar, brew into strong tea, strain out the leaves, and drink once daily after fully dissolving the brown sugar. It can clear heat and regulate menstruation, particularly suitable for cases of early menstruation with heavy flow.
Moreover, fennel wine is a good remedy for soothing the liver and regulating qi. Prepare 15 grams each of fennel and green skin, soak in 250 grams of yellow wine for three days before drinking. Take 15-30 grams each time, twice daily; those who dislike alcohol can substitute with vinegar. This remedy can regulate irregular menstrual cycles, normal menstrual color but difficult flow, and accompanying symptoms such as ** and abdominal distention and pain.
Lastly, hawthorn and brown sugar drink can invigorate blood and regulate menstruation, helping to resolve issues of menstrual disruption. The specific method is to decoct 50 grams of fresh hawthorn with water, strain out the residue, then add 40 grams of brown sugar and mix well while hot for drinking. Non-pregnant women may increase the drinking frequency appropriately to promote menstrual blood discharge.
These dietary therapy methods are all manifestations of traditional Chinese medical wisdom, suitable for varying degrees of irregular menstruation symptoms. However, it is advisable to consult a professional doctor before adopting any regulation plan to ensure safety and effectiveness.
