Let's explore some recommended beverages for before and during your period.
It's important to consume these separately from meals and ideally at different times. Create a tea time for yourself and take some time to relax and care for your body.
Recommended Beverages:
- Cocoa: This drink is rich in "theobromine," which helps relax muscle tension and uplift mood. It also improves blood circulation to the extremities and has digestive benefits, making it a good choice for those prone to constipation.
- Black Tea: Black tea has warming properties on its own and can be used as a base for various herbal teas. Ginger tea, cinnamon tea, honey soy milk tea, and rose tea with dried rose petals can enhance the relief from menstrual pain.
- Pu-erh Tea: This tea has a slightly lighter taste compared to black tea. It may be a matter of personal preference.
- Jasmine Tea: Recommended for when you’re feeling relatively well or towards the end of your period. It contains vitamins beneficial for the uterus and has relaxing effects.
Sweeteners:
For sweetening your beverages, use either brown sugar or honey. If you need warming properties and feel cold, opt for brown sugar. If you want to boost energy and gain vitamins, iron, and folic acid, honey is a better choice. Milk and soy milk can be used according to your preference.
Points to Note:
- Be sure your drinks are not too hot. Excessively hot beverages can cause your body to unintentionally cool itself. A comforting temperature is ideal.
- Tea and cocoa contain caffeine, though less than coffee. Caffeine can inhibit iron absorption, so it’s best to keep these separate from your meals. Ensure you consume adequate iron with your meals and enjoy your tea time separately to fully benefit from its warming and relaxing effects.
Bonus: Beverages to Avoid
- Green Tea: While I enjoy green tea, it can cool the body a bit. It’s very useful in summer but not recommended during winter or menstruation.
That concludes our guide on beverages for menstrual periods. You might find some of these tips immediately applicable. Using them effectively can help you stay warm and build resilience against winter. If you’ve been suffering during your period, even small improvements can enhance your quality of life. Try incorporating these tips gradually to reduce discomfort from seven days to six, then five, and so on.
