Can you eat Yimucao Granules during your menstrual period?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Whether you can take motherwort during your period depends on the individual. Motherwort has the effect of invigorating blood and removing blood stasis. It can be taken for those with less menstrual flow and blood clots. However, for those with heavy menstrual flow and bright red blood, taking motherwort during the period may lead to an even heavier flow.
