Many women experience menstrual irregularities, which include irregular menstrual periods and cycles, abnormal flow, and physical discomfort during menstruation. Paying attention to your diet by eating more loofah daily can help regulate these menstrual issues.
According to Chinese herbal medicine texts, loofah is neutral in nature and sweet in taste, with the effects of unblocking meridians, promoting blood circulation, and cooling the blood to detoxify. The ancients believed that the fibrous network of an old loofah, similar to the body's meridians, could be used to guide the body's own meridians. This helps to clear the meridians and ensure the smooth flow of qi and blood, thereby naturally leading to a regular menstruation.
Method:
1. Use one loofah sponge, add one bowl of water, decoct and drink. Regular consumption can help regulate menstrual irregularities.
2. Dry the loofah seeds, add one bowl of water and decoct. After the water comes to a boil, add a small amount of brown sugar. Take it warm with a splash of yellow rice wine. Take once in the morning and once at night. This is effective for regulating menstrual irregularities.
3. Use one old loofah, burn it until dry, then grind it into a fine powder. Take 9 grams each time, mixed with salt water. This can be used to treat excessive menstrual bleeding.
Loofah can be cooked into a variety of delicious dishes, and the loofah sponge, loofah seeds, and old loofah are all treasures too!
