Is it okay to drink saffron tea during your period if you have a light menstrual flow?

Patient's question:

Previously, my menstrual cycle was always normal, but recently I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain and my period has been consistently delayed. During my period, the cramps are severe. I would like to ask: Can I drink saffron tea during my period if my menstrual flow is light?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, the main reason for your menstrual irregularity is insufficient qi and blood. If the menstrual disorder is caused by qi and blood deficiency, then saffron should definitely not be consumed. Saffron has the effect of invigorating blood and dispelling stasis.
For your symptoms, it is recommended to consume more foods that nourish qi and blood in daily life. For example, doves, jujubes, goji berries, animal blood, animal livers, etc. For medication, you can use Bu Zhong Yi Qi Pills combined with Wu Ji Bai Feng Pills.
Gynecological diseases are conditions that are prone to occur. During medication, women should pay attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is advised that patients pay close attention to vaginal hygiene and maintain a light diet. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery!
