Dietary treatment for functional uterine bleeding

Using food to treat and prevent diseases has a long history in my country. More than 2,000 years ago, the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine recorded: "Grains, meat, fruits and vegetables, eat to nourish the body", "Medicine is used to eliminate it, and food is used to follow it". In addition to providing the material basis for the normal metabolism of the human body, food can also play a role in eliminating and preventing diseases.

The dietary treatment of functional uterine bleeding should be based on the cold, heat, deficiency and excess. The diet should follow the principle of "warming the cold", "cooling the heat", "tonifying the deficiency", and "purging the excess". Generally, people with heat syndrome should avoid spicy and stimulating foods, people with blood stasis syndrome should avoid acidic and astringent foods, and people with deficiency syndrome should avoid raw, cold and cool foods. For those with deficiency and cold, you should pay attention to the tonic foods among the foods that are warm, and it is not suitable to use very warm or very hot foods. The following are two dietary recipes for the treatment of functional uterine bleeding:
