Turinys
Most women are familiar with a peculiar state before menstruation. Someone falls into despondency, feels sorry for himself and is sad; someone, on the contrary, is angry and breaks down on loved ones. According to Chinese medicine, the reason for these moods lies in the energy status.
In Chinese medicine, it is believed that we have qi energy – vitality, a kind of fuel on which we “work”. Western medicine is not yet able to measure the amount of these vital forces, however, from our own experience, we can tell when our energies are over the edge, and when the forces are at zero. These are very understandable sensations if we can listen and understand our body.
For example, many people manage to realize the moment before the disease: weakness appears, there is no strength – which means that tomorrow, most likely, a runny nose will appear, followed by cough and fever.
However, if a person lives in a constant deficit of energy and strength, then over time this becomes the norm – there is nothing to compare with! We take this state for granted, as in the opposite case: when we have a lot of energy, we are constantly in good shape and drive, we begin to perceive this as a natural state of affairs.
Menstruation for a woman is an excellent indicator that allows you to understand what her objective energy status is, how large the reserve of strength is.
Energy deficit
The first option is that there is little vitality. Typically, people who are generally energy deficient are pale, slow moving, brittle hair, and dry skin. However, given the current rhythm of life, we can all feel this way by the end of the working day.
What happens in this case during PMS? Vital energy, which is already small, goes to the “launch” of menstruation. First of all, this affects the emotional state: a woman feels sorry for herself. There seems to be no reason, but it’s so sad!

Girls prone to this type of premenstrual syndrome try to “seize” sadness: high-calorie meals, cookies, chocolates are used. The body is trying in any way to get additional strength, at least from high-calorie or sweet food.
There is a lot of energy, but “not there”
And what does it mean if before menstruation you want to throw lightning, especially at relatives and friends? Some of it is… not bad! This means that there is enough vital energy in the body, or even with a surplus. However, health and emotional balance depend not only on the amount of energy, but also on the quality of its circulation. On how effectively it is distributed throughout the body.
If circulation is disturbed and energy stagnates somewhere, before menstruation the body wants to lose excess, and the easiest option is emotional discharge.
Perfect option
In Chinese medicine, going through premenstrual syndrome in a stable and calm emotional state is considered an indicator of good female health: sufficient vitality combined with efficient energy circulation. How to achieve this?
Make up for the lack of energy
In case of a lack of energy, Chinese experts recommend tonic herbal drinks and practices to increase the supply of vitality. As a rule, such practices are associated with breathing: for example, it is worth trying neigong or female Taoist practices. These are exercises that help you get extra strength out of the air – in the truest sense of the word.
According to Chinese tradition, our body has a store of energy – dantian, the lower abdomen. This is a “vessel” that we can fill with vitality with the help of special breathing techniques. 15-20 minutes of breathing practices a day are enough to increase your energy status, become more active, charismatic – and, among other things, get rid of regular depressive conditions before menstruation.
Set up energy circulation
If before menstruation you throw lightning, feel anger and irritation, it is important first of all to normalize the circulation of vitality. Energy circulates through the body with blood, which means that it is necessary to eliminate muscle strains – clamps that impair circulation.
During muscle overstrain, for example, in the pelvic area, the muscles pinch small capillaries, the blood supply to the tissues deteriorates, and, firstly, conditions are created for inflammatory diseases, and secondly, the energy flow is disturbed. This means that she will “shoot” somewhere – and, most likely, at a difficult moment for the body before menstruation.
To improve circulation, Chinese doctors also recommend herbal infusions, acupuncture (for example, acupuncture, a procedure that balances the flow of energy in the body), and relaxation practices. For example, qigong for the spine Sing Shen Juang – exercises that work out all the active points of the spine and pelvis, allow you to relieve the usual tension, restore full blood supply to the tissues, and hence the flow of energy.
After the circulation is established, you can take on the accumulation of energy with the help of Neigong practices.
