In TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine)
Painful menses can occur before, during and after menstruation in the lower abdomen area. According to TCM, menstruation is related to Ren, Du, and Liver meridian. When either one of these meridians is out of balance, menstruation can be affected. The liver’s main function is to ensure the smooth flow of Qi(chi) which also leads to the proper flow of Blood.
A Chinese proverb puts it as “Tong zhe Bu Tong, Bu Tong zhe Tong. (通則不痛, 不通則痛)” which means “No pain if there is no blockage. If there is pain, there is blockage.”
There are several causes that can lead to imbalanced Liver Qi/Blood. The main one is emotional stress these days, followed by Coldness and Damp accumulation, which can be caused by drinking ice cold beverages as well as overworking and excessive active sexual behavior.
