Can I take vanilla extract during my period?

Menstruation is the excretion of a large amount of fluid from a woman's body, and normally occurs once a month. During the menstrual period, women's bodies need a lot of care, and maintenance during the menstrual period is especially important for women. Improper living habits can cause symptoms such as irregular menstruation. For example, eating spicy food during menstruation can cause uterine contraction, resulting in increased menstrual blood volume.

When menstruation occurs, women should take some supplements that can regulate menstruation and promote blood circulation, or some foods that help regulate menstruation. Many women will choose vanilla extract. What role does vanilla extract play in regulating women's menstruation? Let us first understand vanilla extract.

Vanilla extract, extracted from vanilla, is an essential and precious spice for making various high-end Western pastries.

Many friends have asked about it because many recipes in the blog use vanilla extract, but these recipes are often followed by a sentence: "If you don't have vanilla extract, you can omit it." In fact, I don’t recommend that you omit vanilla extract, because it is this extract that creates the unique and wonderful aroma and taste of Western pastries.

Vanilla extract is extracted from vanilla pods. Vanilla pods are a kind of spice that is widely used in Western pastries. It can be seen everywhere in cheesecake, cookies, chiffon cake, caramel pudding, ice cream... Its unique aroma is noble and elegant, giving Western pastries extraordinary quality and taste, and it is known as the "Queen of Spices". The only drawback is that it is relatively expensive and only high-end pastry shops use it.

Vanilla extract is easier to use than vanilla beans, and although it's not cheap, the cost per use is more affordable than vanilla beans. Often only a few drops of this brown liquid are enough to take the quality of pastries to the next level. Moreover, it retains the effective ingredients of vanilla, has hundreds of aromatic ingredients and more than ten kinds of essential amino acids for the human body. It is not only natural but also beneficial to the human body.

Now we know that vanilla extract contains many kinds of essential amino acids for the human body and can play a very good role in human health. Therefore, it will not cause harm to the body for women during menstruation to consume vanilla extract and it can be consumed in moderation. Although vanilla extract is the essence of some plants, it is not a necessity for us, so it is best not to consume too much.
