Salvia water is effective in treating dysmenorrhea. Salvia is a traditional Chinese herb that promotes blood circulation, removes blood stasis, relieves pain, clears the heart and detoxifies, or eliminates cold blood. Taking Salvia during menstruation can improve blood circulation in the body and increase menstrual flow. Additionally, patients should keep warm during treatment, avoid catching a cold, and refrain from consuming raw or cold foods.
