I forgot to ask if I can continue to drink during menstruation?

      Answer: It is best not to drink Chinese medicine that is too cold during menstruation. You can drink some Chinese medicine that promotes blood circulation, such as Angelica sinensis, which can help clear up congestion during menstruation.
