Disease description:
I am 28 years old this year. Probably due to high work pressure and frequent late nights, my menstrual flow this month has been very light. A friend told me that taking Sargentodoxa cuneata (Daxueteng) might help. May I ask, what are the medicinal properties and effects of Sargentodoxa cuneata (Daxueteng)?

Sargentodoxa cuneata, also known as Red Vine or Red Peel Vine, is the dried stem of a plant from the Lardizabalaceae family, and it possesses various significant therapeutic effects.
1. Clearing heat and detoxifying: Sargentodoxa cuneata can eliminate heat toxins from the body and is particularly effective in treating symptoms such as abdominal pain caused by intestinal abscesses and skin ulcers due to heat toxicity.
2. Promoting blood circulation and dispersing blood stasis: Sargentodoxa cuneata promotes blood circulation, alleviates pain, and reduces abscesses. It is suitable for treating intestinal abscesses, skin ulcers, traumatic injuries with blood stasis, and gynecological conditions involving blood stasis. It enhances blood circulation, removes internal blood stasis, and relieves pain and swelling caused by poor blood flow.
3. Expelling wind and relieving pain: Sargentodoxa cuneata also helps expel wind pathogens and relieve pain, making it effective for treating painful obstruction syndrome due to wind-damp, lower back and leg pain, and joint stiffness.
4. Astringing the intestines and stopping diarrhea: Sargentodoxa cuneata can also astringe the intestines and stop diarrhea, particularly that caused by damp-heat in the intestines. It works by clearing heat, resolving dampness, and tightening the intestines to help restore normal digestive function.
