How to treat premature ovarian failure with traditional Chinese medicine?

According to TCM theory, the kidneys store essence, control reproduction, and are the foundation of the body. Therefore, the kidneys play a leading role in the production and physiological activities of the female menstrual cycle, emphasizing the close relationship between the kidneys and the menstrual cycle.

The liver and kidney have the same origin. The liver stores blood, is responsible for ascending and dispersing, and likes to be smooth and hates depression. It has the function of excreting the menstrual cycle and plays an important role in regulating the menstrual cycle. The spleen is responsible for transportation and transformation, and is the source of qi and blood biochemistry and the foundation of acquired constitution, providing the material basis for the menstrual cycle. Tiangui is of course derived from the innate, but it must be nourished by the essence of the posterior valley. Therefore, the main organs of premature ovarian failure are the kidneys, which are related to the liver and spleen.

Although there is no name for premature ovarian failure in traditional Chinese medicine, from the perspective of its clinical characteristics, it should fall into the category of blood deficiency, blood stasis, amenorrhea, infertility, etc. Therefore, the treatment of premature ovarian failure is mainly to nourish the kidney and yin, while taking into account other organs.
