Patient's question:
Recently, my menstrual cycle has been irregular. It is said that drinking honey can help alleviate it. Can irregular menstruation be relieved by drinking honey?Doctor's answer:
Under normal circumstances, drinking honey water can help regulate qi and blood but does not have the effect of nurturing menstruation. If there is menstrual irregularity, it is recommended to check what is causing it and address it accordingly. Honey water can actually help moisturize the intestines and promote bowel movement, as well as regulate qi and blood. In your case, you might also consider consulting a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner and taking some herbal medicine to nourish your body. Often, menstrual irregularity is related to endocrine disorders in the body, which are caused by endocrine imbalances.
