Most of you have probably heard about “cold uterus”. it is a result of deficient Yang energy in the body. Yang is the warming energy that supports ovulation and implantation, thus facilitating reproduction. If uterus is cold and yang is weak, quality of eggs may be poor, ovulation and implantation may also be affected.

“Cold” symptoms may include feeling cold easily, cold limbs, cold abdomen, weak digestion, low back ache, irregular menstruation and menstrual cramps that feel better with heat.

Women with “cold uterus” should avoid or minimise cold and raw food, especially first thing in the morning, before and during menstruation. Reduce taking “cooling” drinks, such as bubble tea, green tea and liang teh. Instead, opt for tea with warming spices. Ginger, cinnamon and spices in Chai tea are good for supporting yang energy and warming the uterus.
