  Cordyceps flower also has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which may help relieve menstrual discomfort such as fatigue or mild inflammatory responses. Although Cordyceps flower benefits women during their period, it should still be consumed in moderation. Excessive intake may cause symptoms such as sore throat (heatiness) or nosebleeds. Menstrual diets should be mild; Cordyceps flower is best consumed after being thoroughly cooked, and should not be eaten with raw or cold foods to avoid gastrointestinal irritation. Women with a naturally warm constitution or those prone to heatiness should reduce intake to prevent excessive internal heat accumulation.

  Women should focus on body regulation during their menstrual period. They should avoid consuming spicy or cold foods, maintain balanced nutrition, and ensure regular and healthy sleep patterns.
