Brown sugar is rich in nutrients. Each kilogram of brown sugar contains 900 mg of calcium and 100 mg of iron. Drinking hot brown sugar water during menstruation can make women's bodies warmer. Brown sugar can activate blood circulation, increase energy, and is beneficial to the discharge of menstrual blood, which can alleviate the problem of dysmenorrhea in women to a certain extent.

However, drinking brown sugar water does not necessarily relieve dysmenorrhea. Drinking brown sugar water can only relieve functional dysmenorrhea. Secondary dysmenorrhea still requires treatment of the disease first. Brown sugar is hot in nature, and is suitable for dysmenorrhea caused by weak constitution and cold blood stasis, but it is not suitable for women with active constitution. If you have an active constitution, drinking brown sugar water during dysmenorrhea will not only fail to relieve dysmenorrhea, but may also cause excessive menstrual bleeding and increase anxiety.
