However, the understanding on how to use classic formula in treatment of dysmenorrhea is still insufficient in the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), mainly limited to syndrome differentiation and the formula-syndrome correlation. The treatment method of syndrome differentiation is flexible and changeable, but the process is tedious and difficult to copy. In addition, its experience is not easy to summarize and pass on, and it is difficult for beginners to comprehend the essence. Formula-syndrome correlation method is accurate, quick acting, but subjective, too mechanical, and will have obvious side effects in case of prescription mistakes.
