Dr. Zhao Xiaodong
It is acceptable to take Yi Mu Cao Granules during menstruation. First, if menstrual flow is light, taking Yi Mu Cao Granules orally can help improve the amount of menstrual blood. Second, if you experience dysmenorrhea (painful menstruation), these granules may be taken because they promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, thereby relieving lower abdominal pain during menstruation. Therefore, it is appropriate to take Yi Mu Cao Granules during your period. However, if menstrual flow is heavy, it is not recommended to take Yi Mu Cao Granules during menstruation. It is advised that you avoid taking medication casually in daily life and always use medication only under the guidance of a physician.
