Once a month, the "relative's" visit is enough to turn a tough girl into a soft one, and a soft one into a complete couch potato. One "drink more hot water" from a boyfriend is enough to make you want to kill him. When the period comes, the mild symptoms include abdominal bloating and pain, and an unbearable backache; in severe cases, the pain is so bad you can barely roll your way to the hospital, feeling a chill in both your heart and stomach.
During your period, a warm drink is best. Warming up your uterus can provide relief and make you feel much more comfortable. A floral tea is a great choice. A cup of tea with a light floral fragrance: just smelling it can release half your stress; taking a sip warms you from body to soul. Such care is the ultimate display of boyfriend material. Check out these 3 heart-warming floral teas to care for you during your period.
