Ginger is a commonly used seasoning in the kitchen. In addition to being a seasoning, ginger also has many functions and effects. So can women eat ginger during menstruation?

Gynecological experts suggest: Ginger promotes blood circulation and is warm in nature. It should not be used when there is a lot of bleeding, otherwise there will be a lot of bleeding. Heavy menstrual flow is because the endometrium is thicker and causes more bleeding when it is shed. This is usually related to hormone secretion disorders.

Many women will have some uncomfortable symptoms a few days before menstruation (premenstrual period), such as depression, worry, emotional stress, insomnia, irritability, restlessness, fatigue, etc. It is generally believed that this is related to the imbalance of estrogen and progesterone in the body.

At this time, women should choose foods and medicines that are not only good for skin and beauty, but also can replenish qi, soothe the liver, and regulate bad emotions, such as cabbage, grapefruit, lean pork, celery, japonica rice, duck eggs, fried Atractylodes, yam, barley, lily, golden sponge gourd, winter melon, kelp, sea cucumber, carrot, white radish, walnut kernel, black fungus, mushrooms, etc.

During menstruation, symptoms such as poor appetite, backache, and fatigue may occur. At this time, it is advisable to choose foods and medicines that are not only beneficial to skin and beauty, but also beneficial to the "menstrual flow". Foods and medicines that should be selected include: mutton, chicken, red dates, tofu skin, apples, coix kernels, beef, milk, eggs, brown sugar, motherwort, angelica, rehmannia glutinosa, peach blossoms, etc.

Also, don’t eat fruits that are too cold, such as grapes, pears, etc. You should eat warm fruits, such as apples, longans, etc.! Girls should protect themselves!
