Leonurus (Yi Mu Cao) and ginger brown sugar can treat dysmenorrhea. Leonurus helps promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, and facilitate the discharge of stagnant blood, effectively relieving symptoms of menstrual pain. Ginger brown sugar water has the effect of warming the uterus and dispelling cold, while brown sugar can nourish the blood, promote menstrual flow, and alleviate dysmenorrhea. In daily life, it is advisable to eat more light and mild foods, avoiding spicy, irritating, raw, cold, or fried foods.
