Can I take traditional Chinese medicine (only two types of licorice and trichosanthin) during and before menstruation?

I cannot provide exact medical advice, but here is some general information: In traditional Chinese medicine, licorice and trichosanthin are considered relatively safe medicines and can usually be used during or around menstruation. Zhigancao has the effects of regulating the gastrointestinal tract, soothing the liver and regulating qi, and tonifying the spleen and replenishing qi. Trichosanthes trichosanthes has the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying, resolving phlegm and relieving cough, and reducing swelling and dissipating stagnation. However, the specific dosage, type and time of use should be determined according to the individual's physical condition and illness. It is best to use it under the guidance of a doctor or Chinese medicine practitioner. Especially during menstruation, it is recommended to avoid using herbs that cause uterine contractions, so as not to affect the normal discharge of menstruation. In addition, some Chinese medicines may interact with other drugs or have dangerous side effects in some cases, so it is best to consult a doctor or herbalist before using Chinese medicines.
