Matcha tea is being heralded as a cure for period cramps and gum disease — despite tasting like ‘shredded grass’ according to some people.
The drink, popular with celebrities including Zendaya, Kourtney Kardashian, Bella Hadid and Hailey Bieber, contains a compound called catechin which may reduce hormones that lead to period pain.
One user posted the claims on X (formerly Twitter), amassing 4.3million views, adding: ‘I was wondering why my cramps immediately got up out of here wow.’
