　　Eating mangoes during menstruation will not cause amenorrhea

　　Some people believe that mango has the effect of stopping bleeding and can cause less menstrual flow and irregular menstruation. Therefore, mangoes should not be eaten during menstruation. Is there any basis for this statement? Traditional Chinese medicine believes that women are based on blood, blood is the mother of qi, qi is the leader of blood, and blood relies on the up and down movement of qi to circulate. When Qi and blood are harmonious, menstruation will come as usual. Mango tastes sour and sweet. The sourness enters the liver and belongs to wood. The liver stores blood and governs dispersion. Women take the liver as the congenital. The sweetness enters the spleen and returns to earth. The spleen governs blood and governs transportation and transformation. It is the source of biochemistry and the foundation of acquired nature. The liver and spleen are closely related and complement each other in the generation, storage and operation of qi and blood. It is both sour and sweet, and has synergistic functions. It can restrain yin without leaving turbidity, replenish qi without damaging yin, and harmonize qi and blood, so that menstrual blood can be relieved.

　　Research in modern medicine has also shown that mangiferin acts on platelet-specific proteins and has an inhibitory effect on platelet aggregation. This coincides with the view in the traditional medicine book "Food and Herbal Medicine" that mango is slightly cold, non-toxic, and that housewives have blocked meridians. It can be seen that no matter from the theory of traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine research, mango cannot be considered to have a hemostatic function and affect menstruation. Therefore, there is no scientific basis for the popular belief that eating mangoes during menstruation will cause amenorrhea.
