Can Yimucao Granules be taken during menstruation?
Disease description:
I've started my period. Since menstrual blood is formed from cells shed periodically from the endometrial lining, women with irregular periods are more likely to develop blood clots, which are often accompanied by varying degrees of menstrual cramps. Can I take Yi Mu Cao Granules during my period?

Dr. Zhao Xiaodong
During menstruation, women can take Yi Mu Cao Granules under the guidance of a doctor. Yi Mu Cao Granules are among the most commonly used menstrual regulating medications, known for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. Women experiencing dysmenorrhea, scanty menstrual flow, or blood clots during their period may certainly use Yi Mu Cao Granules to alleviate these symptoms. This is especially beneficial for women who have poor rest before menstruation, suffer from high blood pressure, or do not maintain a proper diet—factors that can disrupt menstrual health and lead to qi stagnation and blood stasis. In such cases, taking Yi Mu Cao Granules during menstruation can help improve these conditions.
