Do not drink mint tea during menstruation. Mint is a cooling herb. During a woman's menstrual period, hormonal changes occur in the body, affecting physiological functions. Consuming mint water may cause discomfort such as lower abdominal pain and diarrhea, which can worsen symptoms during menstruation. It is recommended to engage in moderate exercise, drink warm water or brown sugar water, consume warm, easily digestible foods, and eat plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits during this time.
