In ancient times, women in large families had to adjust their bodies from an early age. For example, they will ask some moms to help them massage some parts of their bodies to improve their physical fitness.

If it is a woman in an ordinary family with poor family conditions, even if she has dysmenorrhea during menstruation, she can only improve her physical condition by drinking more warm water and some cheaper and convenient ingredients to supplement her body.

When ancient women had their period, we didn't have menstrual towels like modern ones. Instead, they wrapped some ashes in cloth and used it as an old towel. If they belong to rich families, they will also have some clean cotton, which will look like a big aunt's towel. Because ancient medical technology was not so high, women did not have so many measures to solve dysmenorrhea, so women's life expectancy was generally low, and they were prone to physical exhaustion and death after giving birth.
