Patient's question:
What are the methods to treat uterine cold? I always have cold hands and feet, and I also experience menstrual cramps every time I have my period. Are these symptoms of uterine cold? Is there a most effective method to treat uterine cold?Doctor's answer:
Hello: There are many treatments for the cold palace condition in traditional Chinese medicine. In the traditional practice of Chinese medicine for health preservation, the female constitution is considered Yin, so it's important not to indulge in cold things. Even in hot summer, women should not consume excessive cold drinks or cold-natured fruits like watermelon. It's also advisable to eat more foods that boost qi and warm the body, such as walnuts, jujubes, and peanuts. After menstruation, you can consume things like donkey-hide glue or deer horn glue to replenish blood. On a regular basis, you can also have Danggui and ginger lamb soup to regulate your health. Take 15~20 grams of Danggui, 2 ounces of lamb, and 4~5 slices of ginger, cook them, and drink the soup while eating the meat. This can help treat cold in the palace.
