      female Dysmenorrhea Drinking brown sugar water has been a long-standing saying. Is drinking brown sugar water useful for women with menstrual cramps? Are there any other ways to relieve women’s dysmenorrhea?

      First of all, drinking hot brown sugar water can warm the body, increase energy, activate qi and blood, speed up blood circulation, and make menstruation smoother. If female friends have irregular menstruation, lower abdomen distended pain If you have problems, you might as well try this method; you can also add some ginger juice and cook together to replenish qi, blood and liver (according to the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, Uterus It is just walking the liver meridian), and the effect of warming the tendons and unblocking the meridians will be better.

      However, brown sugar is hot in nature and is prone to dryness and irritation. For women with weak constitutions, cold-dampness and blood deficiency, and qi and blood stagnation, it can increase the heat in the body and reduce the symptoms of dysmenorrhea caused by cold qi and blood stagnation. On the contrary, if you have a fire constitution, that is, the internal heat is heavy and the deficient fire is ascending, taking very dry brown sugar water is like adding fuel to the fire. The body cannot bear the excessive deficient fire, so it releases the internal fire through bleeding, which will cause excessive bleeding.

      Secondly, brown sugar water regulates dysmenorrhea and has a certain effect on secondary dysmenorrhea. It is more suitable for Postpartum Replenish blood for women recovering from dysmenorrhea. It can help postpartum women relieve uterine contractions, but it is not very useful for menstruating women. Sometimes eating too much sweets can actually increase their anxiety. Therefore, to prevent dysmenorrhea, you need to pay more attention to hygiene during menstruation, avoid catching cold during menstruation, and avoid eating spicy and irritating foods during menstruation.

      Patients with dysmenorrhea can eat more sour foods, such as sauerkraut, vinegar, etc., which can relieve pain to a certain extent. If the amount of menstrual blood is not heavy, you can drink a little in moderation. Grape Wine can unblock meridians, activate meridians, dilate blood vessels, and relax smooth muscles. It has a good effect on the prevention and treatment of dysmenorrhea.
