      Siwu Decoction in Traditional Chinese Medicine clinical The application has been in use for thousands of years and is known as Gynecology Holy square. Why, let’s talk about the three changes of women first, that is, a woman is prone to blood deficiency, which is what we often say anemia , secondly, women are prone to blood stasis, thirdly, women are prone to Irregular menstruation , these three common causes of women often cause each other, blood deficiency can cause blood stasis, blood stasis can also lead to blood deficiency, blood deficiency and blood stasis can lead to irregular menstruation, and irregular menstruation is also a common cause of blood deficiency and blood stasis. Siwu Decoction is aimed at the physiological characteristics of the three changes in women mentioned above. It has a very good effect of nourishing blood, activating blood and regulating menstruation. It can be said to be the nemesis of the three changes in women.

      Not only that, the formula of Siwu Decoction is very reasonable. It combines the yin and soft blood-tonifying products of Rehmannia glutinosa and white peony root (blood medicine) with the spicy Angelica sinensis and Chuanxiong (blood-based Qi medicine). It combines movement and stillness to replenish blood without stagnating blood, activate blood without damaging blood. For example, in terms of blood replenishment, donkey-hide gelatin is used. Donkey-hide gelatin can easily make people suffer from internal heat, such as nosebleeds, and donkey-hide gelatin is greasy and hinders the stomach, making people have a poor appetite and not want to eat.; Let's talk about safflower in terms of promoting blood circulation. Safflower's ability to promote blood circulation often makes people bleed more than it should and can damage the blood. Siwu Decoction is warm but not drying, nourishing but not greasy, and is very suitable for long-term maintenance. It is a commonly used clinical prescription for nourishing blood, activating blood circulation and regulating menstruation, so it is called the "Holy Prescription for Gynecology".

      1. As a supplement, Siwu Decoction has warming and drying properties. Therefore, for some people with a thermal constitution or a relatively high internal heat, taking Siwu Decoction may easily lead to internal heat and acne.

      2. For people with poor gastrointestinal function, Rehmannia glutinosa and Angelica sinensis can easily cause diarrhea

      3. You will often feel dry mouth and tongue after taking Siwu Decoction.

      When encountering the above situations, the original prescription must be adjusted accordingly to avoid the occurrence of the above side effects.
