Can I eat chrysanthemum during my menstrual period?

　　Chrysanthemum can generally be consumed during menstruation, but it is recommended to eat it in moderation.

　　As a commonly used traditional Chinese herb, chrysanthemum has functions of clearing heat and detoxifying, and soothing the liver to improve vision. If your body constitution tends toward heat, and you often experience symptoms such as dry mouth and throat, red and swollen eyes, or constipation, drinking chrysanthemum tea in moderation can help clear internal heat and relieve these discomforts. Women experiencing irritability, poor sleep, or other discomforts during menstruation may benefit from drinking chrysanthemum tea in moderation to calm the nerves and improve sleep.

　　It should be noted that chrysanthemum is cold in nature. Consuming excessive amounts at once or over a prolonged period may irritate the gastrointestinal tract and cause discomfort symptoms such as abdominal pain and diarrhea. Particularly during menstruation, women's bodies are relatively sensitive, and excessive consumption of chrysanthemum may worsen discomfort. Each woman has a different body constitution and physical condition, so reactions to chrysanthemum may vary. Therefore, when consuming chrysanthemum, it is recommended to adjust the intake amount according to individual constitution and response.

　　During menstruation, it is advisable to avoid consuming raw, cold, spicy, greasy, or other irritating foods. In daily diet, maintaining a balanced dietary structure and diverse nutrient intake is recommended to help maintain health.
