and 1 thing, Chinese said period is kind of 'cold' (as you know when weather hot, they always said will heaty,so this is d vice verse )
so DUN eat gui ling gou , cos this is the COLD food that help to reduce heaty. and those 'leong shui' oso better dun drink.
or take the ‘bak fong yun'(Cantonese) after period, can help to mediate:)
haha ... actually Gui Ling Gou has d same effect of bak fong yun..; it isn't 'cold' .. it's kind of 'neutral'..
Also depends of d nature of body as some ppl's body r of 'hot' nature; some r of 'cold' nature; some r of 'wet'+'hot' nature -- terms in Chinese medical treatment ...

that means no ice cream....
is it just no cold food during period or not only during period?
but I though western doctors said, there's nothing to do with cold drinks?
well .. Western medical studies r very much defferent from Chinese medical studies..
But i would say that, trust our ancestor's wisdom; it has been more than 5000 yrs of experience ...
