The Chinese have rituals around womanly cycles. (Don't get me started on when I reached puberty. It was a FAMILY AFFAIR when I started menstruating. In Chinese families, embarrassment is guaranteed during your teen years.)
One of the things we do as women is to drink 八珍汤 (bāzhēntāng) or eight-treasure decoction. We drink it after a cycle (never right before!) to rebuild our strength, so to speak. This tonic has reduced my PMS symptoms, btw.
