Apart from flushing out unfertilized eggs,
menstrual blood is mainly the result of the
uterus wall shedding. That is why eating foods
that help shed the uterus lining or soften it are
vital. Pineapple is one such fruit as it
contains the enzyme bromelain. Moreover, this
tangy fruit also helps in the generation of red
and white blood cells. This implies an improved
blood flow.

This herb may be very similar to coriander but
has slightly different properties. Since ages
parsley has been used as an emmenagogue i.e. a
herb that increases the profusion of blood flow
in the pelvic area. Don't forget to include
boiled parsley water or parsley tea to your daily
liquid diet.
