Hello, friends!
What does it mean now, this menstrual period, menstruation, the days ... or whatever you want to call it?
Be a woman!
Feeling feminine!
Being able to give birth
Wonderful, highly complex processes happen every month in our body:
The cycle always begins with the first day of the period (until one day before the next period) and should last between 26 and 32 days in total. Of course, this is different from woman to woman, but the cycle should always be regular and always take about the same amount of time.
1st menstrual phase:
The bleeding phase ranges from 4 to 6 days, but should not exceed 7 days! During this time the blood flows downwards and outwards. The amount of blood should not exceed 30 - 80 ml / day (with the help of bandages or by using the menstrual cup you can make it clear)
The nature of the blood tells us much about the state of health: it should be initially red, slightly lighter and then it gets darker. It contains no lumps, nor does it smell particularly noticeable, it is neither watery nor slimy.
2. Postmenstrual phase:
About seven days after the onset of the period, the blood flow stops and the blood begins to regrow.
Now the body has to make more blood again to replenish the blood and yin deficiency. A big advantage for the woman, however, is that the body is detoxified by the menstruation.
3rd cycle center:
Blood and Yin now fill up until they are back in normal fullness. The Yang Qi starts to grow - that means it comes to ovulation. At the same time, the Yin begins to pull the blood and energy vigorously down and inside the uterus. Actually, the body is already starting to prepare for a possible pregnancy!
4. Premenstrual phase:
Qi = energy and blood are at their fullest and the yang qi has risen - that's why the heat in the body is greatest at this time. The liver energy is moving and this is important so that the liver blood can move and does not stagnate. (This would cause symptoms like pain, PMS, etc.)
Qi and blood concentrate and then collect down, inside the uterus, until after about 28 days so much blood has accumulated that the uterine vessel overflows and the blood is eliminated as menstruation.
Then the cycle begins again.
By the way, the normal onset of menopause is around 50 years old, before the age of 35 it would be too early!
Normally you should feel only a slight pull down - and nothing else. All other symptoms indicate an imbalance in your body!
The disharmonies that show us that something does not fit include:
PMS - premenstrual syndrome
Perimenstrual disorders (at the time / during the period): headache, edema (water retention )
Menstrual disorders
Cycle disorders: premature menstruation / shortened cycle, irregular bleeding, missed menstruation
Bleeding disorders: too little /too much bleeding, painful menstruation, inappropriate color (dark red, brown / black, pale / light)
As you can see, your period tells you very much about your state of health. So, if something does not fit, or if you suffer from one or the other symptom, it would be a good idea to fight the cause and balance the imbalance in your body. After all, it is an important reason for us women to be in balance in this regard so as not to be too troubled at the later stages of my life by the symptoms that the change can bring ... Personally, I have been affected by the change the metabolic type-appropriate diet noticed a huge improvement - where not even the TCM could keep up. For a while my discomfort was better when I went to acupuncture and drank the herbal teas,
During our menstruation, we women are very open and vulnerable. Existing disharmony can therefore be reinforced even more by inappropriate behavior at this time.
That's why I have a few tips for you that recommends the TCM during the Mens:
No sex during the period - this can lead to a backwater of the blood
Generally, beware of cold after sex - put on some panties / pants or cover yourself
Generally no sex with a full bladder - do not hold back the urine, this leads to a congestion in the uterus and bladder
Do not be exposed to the cold and wet (do not swim with a tampon) - then change at least immediately the tampon and wet swimwear. If you use a menstrual cup, the problem is unnecessary because it can not soak up water.
Do not work too hard and too heavy during the mens
Do not overdo it in sports
Avoid heavy lifting after your mens
Avoid cold drinks and food during the mens
Avoid alcohol
Avoid being angry
Add blood tonifying (anabolic) food to you
Avoid sour foods
