Yes, you can drink tea during your period, but the type of tea matters. Herbal teas like chamomile, ginger, and peppermint can help relieve cramps and bloating.
Green tea and hibiscus tea may reduce period-related fatigue and inflammation. Ginger tea is a natural pain reliever, helping with menstrual cramps.
Peppermint tea may ease digestive issues, reducing bloating and nausea. Raspberry leaf tea is believed to regulate periods and support uterine health.
Avoid high-caffeine teas like black tea and strong green tea, as they may worsen bloating and irritability. Too much caffeine can lead to dehydration, which might make cramps worse.
Opt for warm teas instead of iced ones, as warmth can soothe abdominal pain. Always listen to your body—if a tea makes you feel worse, try a different type.
