All the teas contain some amount of tannic acid which in combination with our food reduces the absorption of iron in the body. So, drinking too much of it during periods may not only lead to malabsorption of iron in the body but may also cause headaches, irritability, insomnia, anxiety, restlessness, nervousness due to the caffeine present in the tea.

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

I'm really worried because my periods have been irregular since I got married about a year ago. Things were okay for a few months, but then they went off track again. My last period was on February 9th, and now its March, and still nothing. I went to see a gyno on the 13th of March. She did a urine pregnancy test, which came back negative, and she prescribed me some meds like SYSRON-NCR for 10 days and BNC and CLEMENSTOL syrup for a month. Ive taken them, but nothing has changed. On top of that, Im feeling really unwell with body aches, along with severe stomach and waist pain. I want to conceive, but with everything going on, I'm not sure what to do next. Can you give me some advice?
