Leonurus granules can relieve dysmenorrhea. As a traditional Chinese herb, leonurus promotes blood circulation and removes blood stasis, thus having certain therapeutic effects on dysmenorrhea and helping alleviate its symptoms. It is also suitable for regular consumption to regulate menstrual health, especially for women with light menstrual flow, who may appropriately drink it. However, if the pain is severe, pain-relieving medication should be taken and a medical evaluation conducted at a hospital. Regular moderate exercise in daily life is also recommended to improve physical fitness.
