When your monthly cycle feels more like a mystery than a routine, it can leave you frustrated and out of sync. But did you know that what you drink can play a role in restoring hormonal harmony?
Certain drinks can help regulate irregular periods and support your body’s natural rhythm. Grab a mug, and let’s explore the beverages that can make a difference.
According to HeathShots, irregular periods don’t follow a predictable pattern, with the duration and flow changing dramatically from month to month. These irregular menstrual cycles are said to be caused by hormonal imbalances, medical conditions, and lifestyle influences.
The above source also mentions that hormonal fluctuations during puberty, perimenopause, or pregnancy, medications like birth control, health conditions like PCOS, thyroid disorders, or uterine fibroids, and stress, weight changes, exercise, or eating disorders can also contribute to irregular cycles.
Healthline advises that ginger tea, cinnamon tea, and turmeric milk are all-natural remedies that can help reduce menstrual cramps and promote regular periods. Ginger tea is claimed to have anti-inflammatory properties, while cinnamon tea regulates blood sugar levels and improves insulin sensitivity.
Turmeric milk, according to the above source is made with turmeric powder and black pepper, and has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, reducing menstrual pain and promoting regular periods.
“Parsley can help stimulate the uterus and promote regular periods, according to a 2012 research published by Science Direct. To make parsley tea, add 1 tablespoon of fresh parsley to 1 cup of hot water. Steep for 10 minutes and strain. So, if you are looking for an effective remedy to regularise your menstrual, start drinking parsley tea.”
