This tea can be used in the late period of menstruation or when the amount of menstruation is small, which can care for the weak body. This kind of tea for promoting blood circulation and tonifying deficiency is difficult to digest, and patients with poor digestive function, high uric acid and poor ventilation should not eat too much.

Then add a proper amount of brown sugar, stir and melt, and serve.
