TCM regards amenorrhea as the most complex of menstrual disorders so this condition may need long-term maintenance. Chinese patent remedies for women's health are characterized by their general tonifying effects. They help the body to resume a balanced internal environment by itself so the normal menstrual cycle will return.
TCM has a unique theory about regulating menstruation see " Using Chinese Herbs to Regulate Periods." For generations, many prescriptions have been formulated for menstrual problems. These classic formulas have been made into patent remedies that provide an alternative choice for people who look for low-cost, convenient and long-term treatment options. |
