Motherwort

Motherwort is cool in nature, and promotes blood flow to regulate menstruation, clears heat to promote diuresis and reduce bloating, improve blood circulation to reduce blood stasis. When taken with the proper body constitution, motherwort helps to relieve blood-stasis type of menstrual pain, post-partum lochia, edema and muscle sprain.
In addition, it is common for ladies to take tonic supplements such as evening primrose oil. Evening primrose is a Chinese herb. It is warm in nature, and can dispel wind dampness and strengthen muscles and bones. Note that primrose oil is made by drying the seed and extracting the oil and therefore is no longer an herb.
It is still recommended for those with menstrual pain to seek a Chinese medicine practitioner as there can be different causes and it is important to apply the right treatment accordingly.
