Results Xigui can significantly reduce the frequency, amplitude, area and duration of uterine smooth muscle systolic wave of rats, meanwhile, it can significantly restrain the excitatory action of uterine smooth muscle which is induced by the oxytocin(P<0.05 or P<0.01). It also can significantly reduce the times of writhing response which is caused by acetic acid and oxytocin(P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusion Xigui has the functions of anti-dysmenorrhea.
