Irregular periods, cramps, hormonal imbalances? An Xin TCM breaks down common misconceptions and shares how Traditional Chinese Medicine regulates menstruation from the inside out.
Irregular menstrual cycles—sometimes early, sometimes delayed
Dark or clotted blood, fluctuating volume
Irritability, cramps, dizziness before or during periods
Tried supplements but saw little improvement
Menstruation reflects your body's internal balance. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), regulating menstruation isn’t just about symptom relief—it's about harmonizing the organs, regulating Qi and blood, and supporting emotional health.
TCM relies on pattern diagnosis (辨证论治), with common types including:
Liver Qi stagnation: emotional stress, breast tenderness, noticeable cramps
Qi and blood deficiency: pale periods, low volume, chronic fatigue
Kidney deficiency: late cycles, lower back soreness, frequent urination
Cold and damp obstruction: cold abdomen, dark clots, cold limbs
Treatment must be personalized based on body constitution, menstrual patterns, and lifestyle.
“Just take painkillers when it hurts”
This masks the symptoms, ignoring deeper imbalances. Long-term use may be harmful.
“Any supplements will help”
Supplements must match your body type. For cold constitutions, the wrong supplements may worsen the issue.
“Irregular periods are no big deal”
Menstrual issues are signals of deeper internal disharmony—not just an inconvenience.
Our physicians conduct personalized consultations and apply the following therapies:
Customized prescriptions to soothe the liver, tonify Qi and blood, warm the uterus, and regulate cycles.
Target points such as Guanyuan, Sanyinjiao, and Ganshu to harmonize hormones, open meridians, and calm the mind.
Guidance on breathing, mindfulness, and gentle movement to release stress and restore inner balance.
Red dates + longan + goji tea: nourishes blood, calms the mind (for Qi and blood deficiency)
Ginger & brown sugar tea: warms the uterus (for cold body types)
Black bean & black sesame porridge: supports the kidneys (for kidney deficiency)
(For reference only. Please consult a TCM physician for tailored advice.)
At An Xin TCM, we believe: “When the cycle is smooth, the Qi flows in harmony.”
Women’s health should be supported consistently—not just during your period.
Let us help you nurture a gentle yet powerful constitution, starting with menstrual balance.
