[Health Channel/Comprehensive Report] Many people will take Siwu Decoction after menstruation to enrich blood and regulate menstruation.

In this regard, Zheng Anbin, director of the integration of Chinese and Western medicine at Yiyun Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic in Taoyuan, said that Siwu Decoction treats blood deficiency syndrome in traditional Chinese medicine, but blood deficiency does not mean anemia in Western medicine. There must be symptoms of blood deficiency, and you can't drink Siwu Decoction when you hear anemia.

Nourishes the blood and nourishes the liver to treat blood deficiency

Zheng Anbin posted an article on the Facebook fan page "Traditional Chinese Medicine Confidant Physician Zheng Anbin" that Siwu Decoction is composed of angelica, Chuanxiong, rehmannia glutinosa, and peony. It is the basic formula for nourishing blood and regulating menstruation in traditional Chinese medicine. People with blood deficiency syndrome can use it, regardless of gender.

Zheng Anbin mentioned that anemia in Western medicine is defined as a decrease in red blood cells or hemoglobin in the blood, which leads to a decrease in the ability to carry oxygen, and requires blood to be diagnosed.

"Blood Deficiency Syndrome" in TCM includes a series of symptoms, such as pale or sallow complexion, pale lips, white nails, dizziness, palpitations, numb hands and feet, female menstrual flow, amenorrhea, pale tongue, thready pulse Can't wait.

Some of the symptoms mentioned above can also occur in patients with anemia, but the two cannot be equated. Patients with blood deficiency syndrome may not necessarily be anemic in blood tests, and patients with anemia may not necessarily have symptoms of blood deficiency. If you cannot hear anemia, drink Siwu Decoction .

Four things are not only four kinds of medicines

Some people are used to menstruating after menstruation, go to the traditional Chinese medicine store to grab Siwutang and come back to stew chicken and meat.

But when you open the package of medicinal materials, there are often more than four herbs?

Zheng Anbin added that each Chinese medicine store has its own flavoring. Commonly, Astragalus and Codonopsis are added to invigorate Qi;

Because the content of Siwutang in each Chinese medicine shop is different, it is difficult for Chinese medicine practitioners to simply answer the question "Can I drink Siwutang after menstruation?"

Siwu decoction has different doses and medicines. Like rehmannia, there are two types: raw rehmannia and rehmannia glutinosa. If you want to enrich blood, rehmannia glutinosa is generally used.

If the constitution is dry and hot, you can use raw rehmannia root that cools blood and nourishes yin.

Paeoniae Alba can also be divided into Radix Paeoniae Rubra and Radix Paeoniae Alba, and Radix Paeoniae Alba is divided into stir-fried and raw. Radix Radix Paeoniae Alba promotes blood circulation, Raw Radix Paeoniae Alba converges and nourishes blood, and Fried Radix Paeoniae Alba tends to soften the liver and spleen, which have different functions.

Does not increase the risk of uterine fibroids and even has a protective effect

There are rumors in the market that women have uterine fibroids, and if they cannot eat Siwutang, they will grow bigger?

Zheng Anbin said that according to the research of the National Health Insurance Database, women who take Siwu Decoction will not increase the incidence of uterine fibroids, and even have a protective effect.

At present, there are no domestic and foreign studies that have found that Siwu Decoction can increase the size of uterine fibroids.

It is recommended to take medicine only when necessary, and discuss with a trusted Chinese medicine practitioner before taking Chinese medicine.
