【愛自己系列－女人每月一癲？】期待月經悄悄來悄悄走…

#正能量星期二
#所有事頓時變得不順眼
#幾時先有女性生理假

女士們每個月都要面對月經的煩惱，月經異常除了痛經，或許也會伴隨煩躁心情、爆瘡爆發、肌膚黯淡無光、頭痛頭暈作悶、身體發脹、小腹隱隱作痛甚至十級痛等… 這種女人之苦，男人都不會懂，只會怪女士們每個月都會例行發瘋。其實身體不適，情緒又怎會好？所有事情都不會順眼，小事自然無限化大，觸碰到底線，爆發脾氣！

要舒緩痛經還是要分清你是那一類型的痛經，再對症下藥。常見的經痛類型，分有壓力型、血瘀型、虛寒型。

誰說痛經只能忍？
壓力型月經不適
特點：忙碌、多嘆氣、煩躁
推介茶療： 玫瑰花3-5枚、茉莉花4朵。泡熱水5分鐘。

血瘀型月經不適
特點： 經常飲食生冷、面色及唇色偏暗、月經期間時有血塊
推介茶療： 桃仁9克、川芎6克、赤芍9克、玫瑰花3-4朵。泡熱水15分鐘

虛寒型月經不適
特點：怕冷或手腳冰冷、暖敷腹部痛會減輕
推介茶療：肉桂粉半茶匙、人參6克、乾薑2片。泡熱水10分鐘

其他貼士：
✓好好保暖腹部及雙腿
✓保持心情暢快
✗特別是月經前一星期不要飲食生冷
