Introduction
During menstruation, if the body is chilled and menstrual flow becomes scanty, it is advisable to drink more brown sugar ginger water, which helps warm the meridians, promote circulation, dispel wind and cold, and relieve symptoms. Additionally, soaking feet in warm water can stimulate the uterine reflex zone on the soles of the feet, improve blood circulation, and alleviate reduced menstrual flow caused by exposure to cold. If symptoms are severe, it may also be necessary to take Ai Fu Nuan Gong Wan under a doctor's guidance to warm the uterus, dispel cold, and improve symptoms.

Under normal circumstances, reduced menstrual flow caused by exposure to cold during menstruation can be improved through dietary adjustments, foot soaking, and medication. Specific methods are as follows:

1. Dietary Adjustment

Drinking more brown sugar ginger tea can help warm the meridians, promote circulation, dispel wind, and relieve cold, thereby improving reduced menstrual flow.

2. Foot Soaking

Soaking feet in warm water can stimulate the uterine reflex zone on the soles of the feet, promoting blood circulation and alleviating reduced menstrual flow caused by cold exposure.

3. Medication

If symptoms are severe, medications such as Aifu Nuan Gong Wan, Tianqi Tongjing Capsules, or Shenrong Lutai Pills should be taken under a doctor's guidance to warm the uterus, remove cold, and relieve symptoms.

In addition, visiting a reputable traditional Chinese medicine hospital for acupuncture treatment administered by a qualified practitioner can help unblock meridians, accelerate whole-body blood circulation, and improve symptoms.
