It’s your emotional state. Chinese medicine has long observed and treated the effects of stress (AKA negative emotions).
Your reproductive health is directly impacted by how you feel. If you’re experiencing problems there, then this is where you have a weak spot. So if you experience a lot of cramping and a lot of bleeding, then it’s definitely not normal.
If the period is very short, like one day long, when you’re between 17 and 40 years old, then you’ve got a problem. If it’s quite a bit longer than 7 days, you’re also experiencing problems.
Any prolonged state of negative emotions will create problems for you. Be aware of how you feel during the day. Be aware of what your menstrual cycle is like. If it’s too long or short, then there will be fertility problems.
In order to correct the physical problems, you have to correct the way you feel. But that’s not the same as denying this is how you feel. That doesn’t solve your problems at all.
I’ll talk strategies tomorrow. Cheers.
