Use of the formula according to Traditional Chinese Medicine:

  • activates blood circulation and breaks up blood stasis
  • warms the uterus and the lower burner
  • regulates menstruation
  • relieves pain

Description:

Cold in the uterus and the lower burner manifests as discomfort, pressure, or even pain in the lower abdomen, which is primarily linked to menstruation. It often starts a few days before the period begins and is usually most intense on the first or second day. Menstruation may be light or, conversely, very heavy, or it may stop completely for a day. However, menstrual blood is always dark, especially at the beginning, and contains clots. When the clots pass, relief often follows. Heat, such as a warm shower, also helps.

Why is menstruation so painful? Cold concentrates and stops everything. It also slows down the flow of Qi and blood in the meridians and vessels. Therefore, the uterine tissue is not sufficiently nourished, and a woman may, for example, be unable to conceive. Blood stagnates and creates blockages, which can later manifest as fibroids or adhesions. And both stagnation and blockages are always accompanied by some form of pain or tension. The solution is to invigorate the blood, transform the blockages, warm the lower abdomen, and stop the pain.

Indications:

  • blood stasis resulting from the accumulation of cold in the lower abdomen
  • pain or tension in the lower abdomen that intensifies with the onset of menstruation
  • painful menstruation
  • irregular, prolonged, or intermittent menstruation
  • dark menstrual blood with clots
  • uterine bleeding
  • sensation of cold in the lower abdomen
  • palpable masses (presence of cysts, fibroids) in the lower abdomen
  • infertility in both sexes
  • low sperm count, damaged sperm, etc.
  • irritability to depression as a result of a general tendency towards blockages

Modern use:

  • fertility problems in both women and men
  • habitual miscarriages
  • amenorrhoea (absence of menstruation) or irregular menstruation
  • dysmenorrhoea (painful menstruation)
  • uterine bleeding
  • ectopic pregnancy
  • endometriosis
  • ovarian cysts
  • uterine fibroids
  • chronic inflammation of the uterus and pelvis
  • ulcerative colitis
  • kidney stones (urolithiasis)

Tongue:

  • dark or purplish
  • purple dots or spots on the edges of the tongue
  • pale in cases of severe cold
  • white coating
  • in mild or local blockages, changes to the tongue may not be apparent

Pulse:

  • xian
  • se
  • jin

Contraindications:

  • absence of cold in the lower abdomen
  • irregular menstruation or bleeding due to heat
  • pregnancy!!!
  • deficiency states

Recommendation:

The formula is intended to disperse excess cold in the lower abdomen, primarily the uterus, and to treat the blood blockages that arise from it. It is not intended for tonification – supplementing and warming Kidney Yang. Severe menstrual pain, where heat and the passing of clots at the beginning of menstruation bring relief, is a relatively reliable diagnostic criterion.
