Can I eat purslane during menstruation?

Although Purslane is a traditional Chinese medicinal material, most people eat it as a vegetable at home because it has a strong diuretic and heat-clearing effect, and compared with general Chinese medicines, Purslane has no bitter taste. When women have their period, they must pay attention to their diet. They cannot eat some cold substances. So can women eat horse teeth during menstruation?

For women, menstruation once a month is a normal thing, but it is also a troublesome thing. Because some women have stronger reactions during menstruation, feeling weak or having lower abdominal pain, it is very important to take care of the body during menstruation. For this reason, women pay close attention to their diet during menstruation. On the one hand, they want to regulate menstrual symptoms through diet, but on the other hand, they are also worried that eating the wrong food will make the symptoms worse. For example, many women don’t know whether they should eat horse teeth.

You can eat purslane during menstruation because it has the effect of nourishing blood. But from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, it is a cold food, so women should not eat too much during menstruation. As we often say, women should not eat cold drinks during menstruation and should not let their abdomen catch cold. The purpose is to prevent more cold air from entering the female uterus and causing more uterine cold type diseases. If a woman has symptoms of lower abdominal distension and pain and cold lower limbs during menstruation, she can drink some brown sugar water to relieve the symptoms.

Another thing to remind female friends is that the uterus’s disease resistance is very low during menstruation. If bacteria invade the female pelvic cavity at this time, it can easily cause gynecological diseases. For example, taking a tub bath during menstruation can cause bacteria in the water to ascend through the vagina to the pelvic area, eventually causing gynecological inflammation. Female friends should not use vaginal cleansing drugs indiscriminately. Because if you use vaginal cleansing drugs even if you don't have gynecological diseases, it may disrupt the acid-base balance in the vagina, and destroy the internal environment of the vagina, creating good conditions for bacteria to take root and multiply. If women need to use vaginal cleansing drugs, they must first consult a local gynecologist and use the drugs under the doctor's guidance.

The above is some relevant description about whether purslane can be eaten during menstruation. I hope it can help women in need. I also hope that all female friends in the world can get rid of the troubles of gynecological diseases and enjoy a healthy life.
