In the view of traditional Chinese medicine, the occurrence of breast tenderness is mainly due to menstrual irregularities of the blood stasis type. The most common are delayed menstruation, light menstrual flow, dull and dark color, blood clots, pain in the lower abdomen that worsens after compression, pain that is relieved after the blood clot is discharged, breast tenderness, purple tongue or petechiae or ecchymosis, often feeling uncontrollable emotions or easy sadness.
This type of menstrual irregularity is mainly caused by qi stagnation, qi stagnation is blood stasis, blood can not reach the uterus on time to fill the "sea of blood", so menstruation will be delayed and the amount is small; blood stasis is local, "if it is not passed, it will be painful", so there will be blood clots and pain.
Motherwort is not only known as the "gynecological holy grass", but even the "generation of diva" Wu Zetian is its "loyal fan," so everyone thinks that as long as the menstrual period is abnormal, it is right to eat it. "Materia Medica" says: "Blood, blood, blood but not new blood, blood but not madness, is the holy medicine of the blood family", that is to say, it can not only break the blood blockage, but also let the new blood of rebirth play a role, break through the obstacles, and naturally be able to relieve pain;
In addition to taking medication, what are some other tips to relieve breast discomfort?
