Patient's question:
A 31-year-old woman doesn't know why she suddenly got sick and is feeling uncomfortable. Please ask: What should be eaten during menstruation to detoxify and remove blood?Doctor's answer:
What should we pay attention to during the menstrual period is our diet. We should avoid cold and refrigerated foods. Acidity that helps to facilitate the flow of menstrual blood, such as vinegar and yogurt, should also be avoided. If there is excessive menstrual bleeding, spicy foods and alcohol should not be consumed either. Then, as some people often tell me, drinking brown sugar or ginger tea can be beneficial for our menstrual blood metabolism. Some people with excessive menstrual bleeding may even eat a bit of pork liver or duck blood to supplement iron and consume iron-rich foods like spinach. Additionally, we should focus on replenishing qi during our period.
