Eat more Chinese chives, broad bean flowers, Chinese yam, lamb, and angelica (Danggui) to help stop excessive menstrual bleeding. Chinese chives are mainly used for excessive menstruation caused by qi deficiency; broad bean flowers can be used for excessive menstruation due to blood heat. Chinese yam is suitable if heavy menstrual flow results from spleen deficiency. Lamb may be consumed in moderation by women experiencing excessive menstruation due to qi deficiency. If excessive menstrual flow leads to blood stasis, angelica (Danggui) can be helpful. During menstruation, avoid getting cold and refrain from intense physical activity.
