Many women confuse premenstrual tension and dysmenorrhea. Most people think that their stomach ache is dysmenorrhea, and combined with other symptoms, they think it is dysmenorrhea. Some even take medicine to treat dysmenorrhea. Medicine, but the situation is not clear, and it will definitely not work after taking the medicine.

If you want to sleep before menstruation, or your lower abdomen will be bloated, your chest will be swollen and uncomfortable, and you will also have headaches, swollen fingers, etc. This is due to premenstrual tension syndrome, not dysmenorrhea. Why does premenstrual tension syndrome occur? This is because adolescent girls develop faster, but the development of the nervous system is not perfect enough. Coupled with endocrine disorders, these situations will occur. Of course, one of the more important reasons is mental factors. Some girls will start to feel nervous before menstruation, and they will have a certain amount of psychological pressure or burden, which will only make premenstrual tension syndrome more obvious.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that premenstrual tension syndrome is related to the liver, kidneys, spleen, etc., especially the liver. We know that the liver is most closely related to mental emotions. If you are easily irritable, angry, depressed, sad, etc., then the liver will be affected, which will affect the flow of Qi and blood. If Qi and blood are blocked, headaches, dizziness, breast swelling and pain, etc. will occur. Moreover, liver stagnation is also accompanied by symptoms such as worry and irritability. Therefore, if you want to treat premenstrual tension syndrome, you must first take care of the liver.

How to regulate the liver? I recommend a recipe called Erzao Hawthorn Soup. Erzao is jujube and wild jujube kernels. Prepare 30 grams of jujube, 20 grams of jujube kernels, and 15 grams of hawthorn. After washing these three flavors, put them into a stew pot, add 3 bowls of water, boil them together until they become 1 bowl of water, then turn off the heat, then remove the medicinal residue, drink one dose every day, and take it warmly in the morning and evening.

We know that jujube has the effect of nourishing blood and qi, and jujube kernels also have the effect of nourishing blood, but the liver blood is replenished first, and jujube kernels also have a tonic effect on the heart and spleen. There are raw wild jujube kernels and cooked wild jujube kernels. The raw wild jujube kernels used here will have better dredging effect. Hawthorn can promote qi, eliminate congestion, and has a very good effect in promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. Therefore, many people choose to use hawthorn to prevent and treat cardiovascular diseases.

Use jujube kernel, jujube and hawthorn together to promote blood circulation, relieve pain and regulate qi.

In addition to using traditional Chinese medicine for conditioning, you can also massage the Taichong and Sanyinjiao acupoints. These two acupoints have the effect of promoting blood circulation and can alleviate various symptoms of menstrual discomfort. They can also treat dysmenorrhea, amenorrhea, and menstruation. Regardless of the situation, it has very good results. Each of these two acupoints is stimulated for about 2 minutes. You can use your thumb to press the acupuncture point hard, pause for 2 seconds, then release it, press it again, and repeat this process.
