Danggui Yangxue Syrup can be taken during menstruation. Menstruation is essentially the process of shedding menstrual blood, which usually lasts about a week and is typically dark red in color, without blood clots, cramps, or lower back pain. Danggui Yangxue Syrup is a traditional Chinese medicine primarily used to nourish the blood and regulate bodily functions. Generally, it is effective for menstrual irregularities, menstrual cramps, anemia and weakness, sallow complexion, and postpartum blood deficiency.
