Disease description:

I have already experienced amenorrhea. A friend suggested using Yimucao (Leonurus japonicus) for regulation, so I would like to ask: can Yimucao treat amenorrhea?

Dr. Chen Zhe
Leonurus (Yi Mu Cao) has menstruation-regulating effects and is beneficial in regulating menopause caused by blood stasis. However, clinically, menopause has various causes, many of which involve pathological factors; therefore, blindly using Leonurus to treat menopause is not advisable. After identifying the underlying cause, appropriate management should be implemented accordingly. Menopause can lead to infertility, osteoporosis, and other conditions. In daily life, many women use Leonurus to regulate their health after menopause.
