Can motherwort cure scanty menstruation?

Motherwort is a Chinese patent medicine that we are more familiar with. Motherwort is also called mica grass, Kuncao and Jiuchonglou.

Under normal circumstances, women's menstrual volume is relatively stable every month. When the menstrual volume is relatively small, women can also use mica grass for conditioning.

Can motherwort cure scanty menstruation?

Oligomenorrhea refers to the fact that a woman has too little blood during her menstrual period, or her menstrual period is too short. Menstrual volume refers to the total amount of blood lost during one menstruation. Normal menstrual volume is 20-80ml. If it is less than this standard, it is considered as too little menstrual volume. Some women have very little menstrual flow from the beginning of menarche, which may be caused by incomplete uterine development. If the normal menstrual flow suddenly decreases, it may be caused by abnormal hormone secretion or anovulatory menstruation.

You can drink motherwort if you have light menstrual flow. Generally speaking, light menstrual blood flow is caused by low estrogen levels. Estrogen stimulates the thickening of the endometrium in preparation for conception. If conception does not occur, the proliferating endometrium will shed and bleed to form menstruation. Low estrogen levels in the body will cause the endometrium to not proliferate thick enough. If you have less bleeding during menstruation, you can drink some motherwort to regulate your period.
