This week, we’re deep diving into better understanding your menstrual cycle, equipping you with the insight of looking through a Traditional Chinese Medicine lens to explain your cycle as seasons. We delve into the history of menstruation, from ancient beliefs to modern science and discuss 5 ways to learn about your menstrual cycle, the two phases and what a healthy period looks like. In the Dear Dao Does segment we unpack a listener's question about ice baths across the menstrual cycle from a Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective.
