Troubled by Irregular Periods? How TCM Helps You Regain Balance Naturally

Menstrual Regulation with TCM in Melaka｜An Xin TCM for Holistic Women’s Health

Irregular periods, cramps, hormonal imbalances? An Xin TCM breaks down common misconceptions and shares how Traditional Chinese Medicine regulates menstruation from the inside out.

Do You Experience Any of These Period Issues?

• 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.

How Does TCM Understand Menstrual Irregularities?

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.

Common Misconceptions About Regulating Menstruation

1. “Just take painkillers when it hurts”

This masks the symptoms, ignoring deeper imbalances. Long-term use may be harmful.

2. “Any supplements will help”

Supplements must match your body type. For cold constitutions, the wrong supplements may worsen the issue.

3. “Irregular periods are no big deal”

Menstrual issues are signals of deeper internal disharmony—not just an inconvenience.
