Its ingredients are angelica, Chuanxiong, dried ginger, peach kernel, and roasted licorice, which can be bought at Chinese medicine stores.

"Shenghua Tang" was originally given to postpartum women to eat to help expel lochia, so when you drink it during your menstrual period, you need to remind your Chinese medicine practitioner to reduce the amount of angelica.

Method: Heat the wok, add oil, add lotus root slices and celery segments and stir-fry for 5 minutes until cooked, then add salt to taste. If you feel mentally tired, have heavy menstrual blood and light color, eat "steamed black chicken with ginseng". Method: Add 5 grams each of angelica, rehmannia, longan, white peony root and 10 grams of roasted licorice, wash and put them into the internal organs of black-bone chicken, put them into a pot, add water and simmer over low heat for 1 and a half hours.

3. Menstruation is often delayed for 8 or 9 days, or occurs only every 40 to 50 days due to poor blood circulation, cold blood, blood deficiency, and qi stagnation. You can cook "ginger, jujube, and brown sugar soup" to drink. Method: Add 30 grams each of dried ginger and jujube and 30 grams of brown sugar and boil them into soup, which can remove cold and treat menstrual pain.
