Decoction of Salvia miltiorrhiza, Leonurus japonicus, and white liquor can treat dysmenorrhea. Salvia miltiorrhiza has the effects of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, regulating menstruation, and relieving pain. Leonurus japonicus also helps regulate menstruation. There are many causes of dysmenorrhea. Pain caused by pelvic inflammatory diseases leading to endometrial and myometrial congestion and edema can be alleviated with oral Chaihu Zhitong tablets or ibuprofen. Applying a hot water bag to the abdomen during menstruation can help relieve pain.
