All women experience menstrual disorders sometimes during their child bearing years, before menopause. While Western medication has never viewed that menstrual disorder is a problem of women reproductive system, traditional Chinese medicine looks at this problem seriously, if untreated, it will disharmonize the women ecosystem, leading to nervous tension and other health problems, including infertility.
Dampness is defined as a condition of high humidity inside the body. It is easily combined with heat or cold to cause damp-heat or damp-cold, according traditional Chinese medicine.
1. Weather
Expose yourself in wet environment for the prolong period of time, may cause dampness accumulation , as a result of depletion of yang in controlling the dryness in the body.
2. Raw foods
Eating too much raw foods for a prolong period of time, may cause yang deficiency that effects the spleen function in transporting qi and disrupts the kidney in fluid distribution, leading to water accumulation in lower part of the body that creates a worse environment for dampness invasion.
3. Occupation
Certain occupations require people to work in damp and wet environment that cause long term moister accumulated in the lung, leading to spleen deficiency. While dampness has a tendency moved downward, it affects the heart in blood circulation, causing blood stagnation resulting in abdominal cramps and pain.
4. Spleen deficiency
Spleen deficiency caused by unhealthy diet or irregular diet may interfere with kidney and liver function in fluids and blood distribution, leading to over flow of fluids and blood stagnation in the abdomen. Also spleen deficiency may also interfere the lung function in qi flow.
