Some people get diarrhea as soon as their period starts. Why is this? According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), women experiencing diarrhea during menstruation is mainly due to insufficient qi and blood, which falls under the category of "menstrual disorders" and is referred to as "diarrhea during menstruation" in TCM. So, how can women prevent and treat diarrhea during their period through massage? Below are five methods introduced for you.
Method One: Soak your feet every night. The feet have many acupoints, and soaking them every night can promote blood circulation, relieve fatigue, and expel coldness. Moreover, after soaking your feet, you can also perform foot massages, which further aids in keeping the feet warm.
Method Two: Eat more red dates (jujubes) and longan fruits, and drink more brown sugar water. Women should consume some qi-nourishing foods during their menstrual period.
Method Three: Go to bed early and avoid staying up late. Good sleep habits and dietary habits are helpful in preventing and treating diarrhea during menstruation.
Method Four: Refrain from cold drinks and control the intake of cold-natured foods. Cold drinks stimulate the intestines and stomach, and during the menstrual period, the abdomen is prone to getting chilled. Drinking cold beverages on top of that would make the situation worse.
