Do not administer cotton tea in cases of women who wish to become pregnant due to the presence of carapsin in the active principles of cotton. Intake of this fluid causes the egg to not implant correctly in the uterus.
In some rare and isolated cases, the effect of cotton tea does not have the expected effect, increasing menstrual flow rather than decreasing it. If this happens, the use of tea should be stopped, and a doctor should be consulted.
