Dysmenorrhea is commonly caused by mental stress and cervical stenosis. Drinking an appropriate amount of brown sugar–ginger tea may help alleviate symptoms. This beverage has the effects of warming the uterus, nourishing the stomach, promoting blood circulation, and resolving blood stasis, thereby facilitating the rapid expulsion of menstrual blood and reducing dysmenorrhea. Additionally, consuming brown sugar–ginger tea during menstruation provides some hematopoietic benefits and can help correct hemorrhagic anemia. Many women prefer drinking brown sugar–ginger tea during their periods; however, regular consumption—even outside of menstruation—also offers health benefits for women.
