Every month, millions of women push through cramps, back pain, and exhaustion — and get told the same thing: 'It's just part of being a woman.'
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, period pain is never something you simply accept. It's a signal. And once you understand what your body is saying, you can do something about it.
TCM identifies two root causes:
Pain from blockage (不通則痛): Qi and blood can't flow freely, causing sharp cramps, clots, and pressure.
Pain from depletion (不榮則痛): Qi and blood are too weak to nourish the uterus, causing a dull, hollow ache — worst after your period, often with fatigue and dizziness.
Most women are dealing with one, or both.
A few everyday habits quietly aggravate both patterns:
• Cold food and drinks
Cause blood to contract and stagnate — your uterus dislikes cold more than you'd think
• Chronic stress
Stagnates liver Qi, which directly disrupts blood circulation
• Late nights and under-eating
Drain your Qi and blood reserves, leaving the uterus under-nourished
Start with these simple habits:
🔸 Eat warm: Swap cold drinks for warm water or herbal tea. Favour cooked, easy-to-digest foods in the week before your period
🔸 Sleep before 11pm: The liver replenishes blood overnight. Even just lying down quietly counts
🔸 Move your emotions: Ten minutes of walking, journaling, or music daily prevents stagnation
Acupressure before your period:
🔹Taichong (太冲): Top of the foot, between the 1st and 2nd metatarsals — relieves Qi stagnation
🔹Sanyinjiao (三陰交): Three finger-widths above the inner ankle — regulates liver, spleen, kidney
🔹 Guanyuan (關元): Three finger-widths below the navel — warms the uterus and eases cramping
Ba Zhen Soup has been the cornerstone of women's wellness in TCM for over a millennium. It combines Si Wu Tang to nourish and move blood, with Si Jun Zi Tang to tonify Qi and strengthen the spleen.
