This paper summarized GUO Zhiqiang’s medication experience in regulating menstruation. Guided by the theory of "yang often deficiency"in the woman’s body to regulate menstruation should pay attention to protecting yang qi. During menstruation
acrid and warm herbs blood circulation drugs were mostly used to move stagnation
and menstrual blood is easy to move downward by warm; After menstration
yin nourishment drugs were often used neutral supplementation of kidney yin and warming yang herbs to seek yin in yang. In case of yin nourishment drugs hinder the transportation and transformation of the spleen and stomach
attention should be paid to invigorating the spleen yang; In the intermenstrual period
warming yang and activating blood circulation herbs would be used to help the transformation of yin and yang. Rhizoma et Radix Notopterygii can be used to warm yang to induce resuscitation to help smooth ovulation; The period before menstration is yin growthing period. The use of warming yang medicine should be strengthened to supplementing yang in yin. Products of neutral supplementation of yin and yang are often used to supplement both yin and yang to achieve a state of both yin and yang excessiveness.
