In Chinese medicine, menstrual pain (dysmenorrhea) is caused by Cold and Blood Stagnation in the Uterus. When Cold invades the lower abdomen — from cold foods, exposure to cold during menstruation, or constitutionally weak Yang — it congeals the Blood and blocks the Chong and Ren vessels. The result is the classic pattern: sharp, cramping pain that comes in waves, dark clots, and cold hands and feet. The pain IS the stagnation — when Blood flows freely, pain disappears.
Brown sugar (Hong Tang) 20g + fresh ginger slices 3 pieces + red dates (Da Zao) 5 pieces, torn open. Simmer in 600ml water for 15 minutes. Drink warm. Start 3 days before your period and continue daily through the first 3 days of menstruation.

Day 1-2: Press all 4 points twice daily + drink red sugar ginger tea warm. Apply heating pad to lower abdomen. Day 3-4: Start warming diet changes — eliminate all cold foods, add ginger to every meal. Day 5: Assess pain reduction and clot volume. Day 6-7: Build daily routine of morning point-pressing + warm tea. Most users report 50-70% pain reduction within the first menstrual cycle.
Menstrual pain and lower back pain are deeply connected through the Kidney-Chong-Ren axis. When Kidney energy is weak, both your lower back and your periods suffer. Addressing both together strengthens the root that supports your entire reproductive system.
