A member asked:

Is it bad to drink lemon on your period ?

Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Lemon Juice Claims: Lemons are rumored to prevent your period, induce your period, slow your period, stop your period ; lighten your period. I have not found any studies to support these claims. If anyone has seen scientific literature to the contrary – i would be interested.
