Friends who like to drink herbal tea should choose rose tea during their menstrual period.
Rose tea can regulate qi and menstruation, relieve cramps, detoxify and beautify, and effectively relieve premenstrual syndrome.
For women who are often troubled by low mood, lower abdominal pain, and other discomforts during their period, it is worth trying rose tea, which is sweet and slightly bitter in taste, and warm in nature. It has the effects of regulating qi to relieve depression, invigorating blood to resolve stasis, and regulating menstruation to relieve pain.
2. Black Tea
Black tea has a warming effect on the stomach and is warm in nature, making it more suitable for women to drink during their menstrual period.
3. Goji Jujube Tea
Goji jujube tea is suitable for nourishing blood, replenishing qi, and regulating the body during the menstrual period. Jujubes are beautifying and nourishing, replenishing qi and blood.
Goji berries are known as the "miraculous fruit of the Western Xia" and have an extremely tenacious vitality.
Tear the jujubes and put them in a cup (to make the flavor stronger), then add about 20 goji berries. Steep with boiling water and drink while hot.
Note: Tea should not be too strong. If the tea is too strong, the caffeine and theophylline it contains may cause discomfort before and after menstruation.

Use with caution if you have allergies
If you are not sure if you are allergic, you can try brewing one or two flowers first and drink it. If there are no problems, then you can drink it more. Otherwise, it may cause unnecessary trouble such as diarrhea.
