Technique Details: Warming Uterus Ginger and Jujube Tea
Who is it suitable for?
- People who often have cold hands and feet, and are sensitive to cold - "Cold Uterus" constitution
- Abdominal heaviness during menstruation, dark menstrual blood, or lots of clots
- Feeling tired, lower back pain, and low mood before menstruation
- Hot flashes during menopause but still feeling cold in the lower body
What do you need?
- Ginger: 3-5 slices (with skin, about the thickness of a one-yuan coin)
- Dried red dates: 4-6 pieces (pitted, tearing them open enhances flavor)
- Brown sugar: 1 spoon (about 10 grams, optional, can be omitted if you don't like sweetness)
- Water: 500 ml
How to make it?
- Washing and preparation: Wash ginger with salt (no need to peel, as the skin is cool and balances the ginger's heat), wash the dates and remove the pits, then tear them in half.
- Boiling water: Put the ginger slices and dates into a small pot, add 500 ml of water, bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer on low heat for 15 minutes.
- Seasoning: Add brown sugar before turning off the heat, stir until dissolved, cover and let it steep for 5 minutes.
- Drinking: Drink while warm, slowly, preferably finished by afternoon 4 o'clock, to avoid drinking at night which may affect sleep.
Why is it effective?
Ginger is warm in nature, able to dispel cold and warm the uterus, promoting blood circulation, providing the uterus with warm and nourishing blood and qi. Red dates replenish qi and blood, helping the body store energy, alleviating fatigue and pallor. When combined, ginger and red dates can dispel cold and harmonize the spleen and stomach, improving hormonal imbalances caused by "cold uterus." Brown sugar quickly replenishes energy and relieves menstrual cramps. This simple remedy embodies the wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine - warming the uterus, dispelling cold, and replenishing qi and blood. With long-term persistence, you will find yourself less sensitive to cold, and your menstrual cycle smoother.
