Is it good to eat motherwort granules during menstruation?

I believe most people have seen motherwort, but many people don’t know what kind of medicinal material motherwort granules are. In fact, this medicinal material is made of motherwort, which shows that motherwort granules have many effects, especially for the health of female friends. It can be very good for regulating some gynecological diseases that female friends think are not important, so that female friends can have a better body during menstruation.

Motherwort, also known as Cnidium monnieri and Kuncao, is a herb. It is slightly cold in nature, bitter and pungent in taste, can remove blood stasis and promote new blood circulation, promote blood circulation and regulate menstruation, and promote diuresis and reduce swelling. It is an important medicine used by doctors of all dynasties to treat gynecological diseases. Motherwort has many functions and effects. So, can you eat motherwort during your menstrual period?

Benefits of Motherwort:

Promote blood circulation and regulate menstruation, promote diuresis and reduce swelling. Used for irregular menstruation, dysmenorrhea, amenorrhea, lochia retention, edema and oliguria; edema caused by acute nephritis.

The role of motherwort:

Motherwort decoction, alcohol extract and the leonurine it contains have a stimulating effect on the uterus of many animals, including rabbits, cats, dogs, and guinea pigs. When the decoction of Motherwort is administered to the isolated uterus of rabbits, it has a stimulating effect regardless of whether the uterus is not pregnant, in the early stage of pregnancy, in the late stage of pregnancy, or after delivery. For the uterus in situ, the stimulating effect appears 30 minutes after rapid intravenous injection, and its intensity and duration of action increase with increasing dosage. In the rabbit uterine impotence test, a decoction of motherwort was used. Whether the uterus was pressurized or not, the uterus showed a significant excitatory effect 15-20 minutes after administration. The total alkaloids of Leonurus japonicus have a stimulating effect on the isolated uterus of guinea pigs, and its effect is similar to that of ergonovine. The water extract and ethanol extract of Motherwort have significant stimulating effects on both the isolated and in situ uterus. However, for the uterus in place, there is a short period of inhibitory effect before excitement, and the aqueous solution after ether extraction has no such inhibitory effect.

Leonurine can increase the amplitude of the isolated uterus of rats that were injected intramuscularly with 50 mg of estradiol during proestrus or after ovariectomy. The effects of motherwort are dose-dependent. When the concentration is 0.2-1mcg/ml, the dose-tension relationship is linear, and the maximum tension is reached above 2mcg/ml. Sometimes it can be seen that leonurine has a bidirectional effect on spontaneously contracting specimens. When the lowest effective dose is used or the concentration is suddenly increased (more than 5 times the original concentration), there may be a brief inhibition of 10-20 minutes before causing excitement. High concentrations (>20mcg/ml) exhibit an inhibitory effect due to the local anesthetic effect on the uterine myometrium. The uterine contraction effect of motherwort may last for several hours but will resume after flushing. Atropine 2mcg/ml has no effect on its contraction, and has no effect on the rabbit's uterus in situ. This is because the motherwort injection prepared by the distillation method only contains volatile oil and no biological alkali. The active ingredients of motherwort that stimulate the uterus are mainly found in the leaves, have a very weak effect in the roots, and are ineffective in the stems. Take motherwort decoction orally 4-5 times, 0.1 ml each time (contains approximately 50 mg of dry product extracted with water). The total amount is 200-250 mg, which has certain anti-implantation and anti-early pregnancy effects on mice.

After reading this article, I believe everyone has an understanding of taking Motherwort Granules during menstruation. Motherwort Granules are mainly used to treat gynecological diseases such as irregular menstruation, dysmenorrhea, and amenorrhea. The effect of treating these diseases with this medicine is more obvious, and it can get good relief at the fastest speed without causing too much damage to the patient's body.
