RECOGNIZING issues of the menstrual cycle

​Traditional Chinese medicine acknowledges the stages of the feminine menstrual cycle and it's interdependence by recognising that for example repressed anger is connected to or menstrual cramps, or the habit of eating cold food is linked to our breast bumps, or excessive exercise is associated with the loss of a menstrual cycle, or food cravings are connected to our infertility, or postpartum depression is linked to the loss of blood after childbirth, or night sweats are associated with the use of oral contraceptives.
