Deep Dive
What are the common symptoms of 'gong han' (uterine cold) in women?
Common symptoms include menstrual pain, irregular menstrual flow (too much or too little), dark or light menstrual blood, blood clots, cold sensitivity, cold hands and feet, lower abdominal temperature, excessive vaginal discharge, fatigue, pale or yellowish complexion, and digestive issues like discomfort after eating cold foods or indigestion.
Why is uterine health crucial for women?
Uterine health is vital because poor uterine care can lead to menstrual disorders, painful periods, frequent vaginal infections, infertility, early menopause, and conditions like uterine fibroids, cysts, or polyps. It also increases the risk of cancer. The uterus is often called a woman's 'second face,' as its condition reflects on skin health, affecting complexion, aging, and overall vitality.
How does 'gong han' contribute to uterine tumors?
'Gong han' (uterine cold) impairs blood circulation in the abdomen, leading to incomplete expulsion of menstrual blood and abnormal blood clots. These clots can accumulate, forming blood tumors. Poor uterine metabolism and hormonal imbalances caused by 'gong han' can also lead to polyps or fibroids.
What lifestyle and dietary changes can help maintain uterine health?
Women should reduce stress, stay warm (especially the abdomen and legs), and stay active to promote circulation. Those with 'gong han' should avoid cold foods like raw fish, bitter melon, and mung beans. Warm foods like ginger tea, red dates, and angelica can help, but long-term intake is key. However, sugary ginger teas may lead to obesity or heatiness in some individuals.
What professional treatments are available for uterine health?
London's Advanced Ginger Treatment uses high-tech instruments to improve abdominal blood circulation and organ function. It includes hormone massage with ginger essence to regulate hormones and strengthen pelvic muscles, preventing uterine displacement. A ginger body mask with plant-based activators is applied to enhance blood flow, regulate menstruation, and prevent gynecological issues.
How does uterine health affect aging in women?
Uterine health directly impacts skin condition and overall aging. Poor uterine health can lead to endocrine imbalances, causing skin issues like puffiness, dullness, dryness, and premature aging. Maintaining uterine health helps preserve vitality, metabolism, and a youthful appearance, reinforcing the saying 'a healthy uterus keeps you young.'
What are the stages of uterine prolapse, and how can it be managed?
Uterine prolapse has four stages. Stage 1-2 involves mild symptoms like urine leakage during sneezing or jumping. Stage 3 includes a feeling of heaviness when squatting, while Stage 4 involves visible organ protrusion, requiring surgery. Early treatment, such as ginger-based therapies, can prevent progression and alleviate symptoms.
How does the Advanced Ginger Treatment aid digestion?
The treatment enhances abdominal blood flow, improving circulation to the digestive organs. This boosts enzyme secretion and intestinal motility, alleviating issues like constipation, indigestion, and bloating. The hormone massage also helps release trapped gas, providing relief from discomfort.
