Is it okay to drink dehumidifying tea during menstruation? What should we pay attention to?

Women need to make appropriate adjustments in their lifestyle during menstruation, but they cannot eat foods that are detrimental to qi and blood, otherwise it will increase the amount of bleeding during menstruation and cause great harm to the female body. For example, many women like to drink dehumidifying tea to relieve joint pain, but is it okay to drink dehumidifying tea during menstruation? What should we pay attention to? Let’s take a look at the explanation below.

It is not recommended to drink dehumidifying tea during menstruation because it is slightly cold in nature. Women's bodies are extremely weak during menstruation, and they are especially sensitive to cold and hot stimuli, which can easily lead to blood stasis, dysmenorrhea, irregular menstruation, and decreased menstrual flow. In severe cases, it may also cause heavy bleeding and amenorrhea. Therefore, it is recommended that you wait until after your menstrual period before drinking it.

During menstruation, women's bodies will be affected to some extent, such as reduced resistance, mood swings, irritability, anxiety, etc. At the same time, due to blood loss during menstruation, the body loses more iron. Therefore, in addition to avoiding excessive fatigue and maintaining a happy spirit during women's menstrual period, there are also many taboos in terms of diet.

Avoiding raw, cold and spicy foods during menstruation is to reduce the irritation of these foods to the spleen and stomach. At the same time, special attention should be paid to the combination of meat and vegetables in the diet during this period to prevent the loss of iron. During menstruation, women generally lose about 30 to 50 milliliters of blood each time. Each milliliter contains 0.5 milligrams of iron, which means that 15 to 50 milligrams of iron are lost during each menstruation. Therefore, it is very necessary to supplement with iron-rich foods that are easy to digest and absorb during menstruation.

At the same time, women should also pay attention to this time and eat less foods that affect sexual function, such as water chestnuts, wild rice stems, winter melon, kale, bracken, rabbit meat, black fungus, hemp seeds, etc.

Chinese and Western medicine jointly recommend :

1. In winter, women can eat some warming and tonic foods during their menstrual period, such as beef, chicken, longan, wolfberry, etc.

2. Menstruation often makes people feel very tired, their digestive function weakens, and their appetite is often poor. To maintain nutritional needs, the diet should be fresh.

3. Combine meat and vegetables to prevent iron deficiency. During menstruation, you should supplement with foods that are rich in iron and easy to digest and absorb, such as fish and various animal livers, blood, lean meat, egg yolks, etc.
