bubble_chart Indications
When a woman has her menstrual period come early, and the flow is very heavy, people think it is due to extreme blood heat, but who would have thought it is because the fire and water in the kidneys are too excessive? When fire is too excessive, the blood becomes hot; when water is too excessive, the blood becomes excessive. This is a condition of excess, not deficiency, and it might seem like no treatment is needed for a favorable outcome. However, if the excess is too great, the uterus becomes too hot, making it difficult to conceive, and there is even a concern that it could dry up the male essence. Excess should be reduced, as this is the principle of balance. Yet, while fire should not be allowed to be excessive, water must never be allowed to be insufficient. The treatment method is to slightly clear the heat without necessarily draining the water. The prescription used is Menses-Clearing Powder.
