Can I Take Buzhong Yiqi Pills During Menstruation?
Generally, women can take Buzhong Yiqi Pill during menstruation, but it is recommended to follow the doctor's advice for medication. Buzhong Yiqi Pill is a traditional Chinese medicine with various effects and benefits. It has a certain preventive effect on menstrual irregularity, menstrual abdominal pain, and dark yellow complexion in women. Additionally, pregnant women can also take Buzhong Yiqi Pill to prevent fetal movement disorders and threatened abortion. Therefore, women can take an appropriate amount of Buzhong Yiqi Pill during menstruation without affecting their menstrual cycle.
Buzhong Yiqi Pill is made from Astragalus (roasted), Codonopsis, Atractylodes (fried), Licorice (roasted), Angelica sinensis, Tangerine peel, Cimicifuga, and Bupleurum. Among them, Astragalus (roasted) is the main ingredient, which can strengthen the spleen and replenish qi, raise yang and lift qi. Codonopsis, Atractylodes, and Licorice (roasted) can also tonify the middle and strengthen the spleen and stomach. When combined with Astragalus, they can enhance the effect of tonifying the middle and replenishing qi. Due to prolonged qi deficiency and deficiency of blood and nutrients, Angelica sinensis is used to nourish and harmonize the blood, assisting Ginseng and Astragalus in tonifying qi and nourishing blood. Tangerine peel harmonizes qi and stomach, ensuring that the supplementation does not cause stagnation. A small amount of Cimicifuga and Bupleurum are used to raise yang and lift qi, assisting the main ingredient in lifting the descending middle qi. Licorice is used to harmonize all the other ingredients. When combined, these herbs work together to tonify the middle, replenish qi, raise yang, and lift qi.
Although Buzhong Yiqi Pill has many effects, it is important to prescribe the right medication for the specific condition. Those with yin deficiency and internal heat should use it with caution. It should not be used simultaneously with cold medication. Patients with severe chronic diseases such as hypertension, heart disease, liver disease, diabetes, and kidney disease should take it under the guidance of a doctor. During the medication period, avoid eating raw, greasy, and indigestible foods.
