Amenorrhea refers to a condition in which a woman over the age of 18 has not yet begun menstruating, or has experienced a cessation of menstruation for three months or longer after having previously menstruated. Dietary choices must distinguish between deficiency and excess conditions. For those with both qi and blood deficiency, nourishing dietary therapies may include pork, lamb, beef, and other meats; chicken and eggs; fruits such as longan, red dates, lotus seeds, and goji berries; and dairy products such as cow’s milk and goat’s milk. Those with qi stagnation and blood stasis may use herbs such as motherwort, rose, trumpet vine, peach kernels, green tangerine peel, and aged tangerine peel. Foods that are cold, sour, astringent, or constricting should be avoided.
