Patient's question:
I've been experiencing endocrine disorders and irregular menstruation lately. I want to know if I can eat Ejiao () for irregular menstruation.Doctor's answer:
Irregular menstruation can be treated with Ejiao, but it should not be consumed during the menstrual period. Ejiao is a holy medicine for replenishing qi and nourishing blood. It has a very effective and thorough restorative and regulating effect on menstrual irregularities caused by blood deficiency in women. Since the primary function of Ejiao is to replenish qi, it is suitable for people with blood deficiency. Therefore, women with sallow complexions, pale fingernails, and lack of blood color in their lips are most suitable for consuming it. Ejiao is a medicine for treating menstrual irregularities, with a sweet and balanced taste. Its focus is on stabilizing the circulation of qi and blood, stabilizing the constitution, and making the menstrual cycle operate more normally.
