MENSTRUAL CYCLE AND BLEEDING IN CHINESE MEDICINE

In TCM, the nature of a woman’s menstrual flow and cycle is a window in to the state of her physical and emotional being. A menstrual complaint, therefore, gives us valuable insight in to where balance has been lost and how best to bring it back.

TCM holds that menstruation – tian gui or ‘heavenly water’ – is present when the ren (Conception) and chong (Penetrating) channels fill with qi and blood, respectively, and derives from jing – our core, inherited essence that governs reproduction and growth. Jing forms the substance of a woman’s eggs and is involved, with the heart, in ovarian function.

The mind-body connection inherent to TCM philosophy is clearly illustrated in menstrual physiology, where the heart houses the shen (spirit/ mind, including the hypothalamus and pituitary glands), governs the blood and is connected to the uterus/ ovaries via a channel called the bao mai (Uterus vessel). There is, therefore, a direct correlation between TCM heart function in ovulation and the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis. As such, Chinese medicine readily appreciates how emotional strain can be a direct cause of menstrual dysfunction
