Comment: After menstruation, continuous light bleeding is called “jing lou.” Sudden heavy bleeding is called “jing beng.” The main causes are yin deficiency with blood heat, spleen-kidney qi deficiency, and qi stagnation with blood stasis. Chuan Xiong is pungent and warm, moves qi and activates blood—commonly used for metrorrhagia due to qi stagnation and blood stasis.
