Is perilla leaf effective for treating menstrual irregularity?
Disease description:
My recent menstrual cycles have been irregular, with varying flow—sometimes heavy, sometimes light. After a medical checkup, I was diagnosed with menstrual irregularity. A friend suggested that perilla leaf (Zi Su Ye) can treat menstrual disorders, but I haven't heard of anyone who has actually tried it, so I'm not sure if it really works. So, is perilla leaf effective for treating menstrual irregularity?

Perilla leaf is generally helpful in regulating menstruation for patients. It is recommended that patients examine whether they have the habit of staying up late and should arrange their作息 (daily routine) reasonably. However, if planning to recuperate in a hospital, it is important to go to the hospital promptly for pulse examination. Based on clinical evidence, medication is recommended, and recuperation should ideally follow a complete course of treatment. Try to avoid staying up late, check whether sleep is normal, and pay more attention to rest.
