The Strawberry Green Tea with Chasteberries. This isn’t just any tea; it’s a warm hug in a mug, especially designed for those days when menstrual discomfort seems to take the reins.

The Power of Natural Ingredients
Understanding the Benefits of Green Tea
In every steamy sip of green tea lies a secret garden of wellness. Revered for centuries, green tea is like a gentle whisper to the body, offering antioxidants that dance gracefully with our well-being. It’s more than just a beverage; it’s a wellness ritual that has stood the test of time, particularly for us women navigating the ebb and flow of menstrual health.
Green tea has been studied and shown to shrink fibroids and lower inflammation levels. And for those reasons, finding a way to add it to your daily wellness regimen can be extremely beneficial.
Chasteberries – A Hidden Gem for Menstrual Health
Now, let’s turn the spotlight on a lesser-known, yet equally magnificent, ally – chasteberries. This humble berry is like a soothing melody for menstrual woes. Chasteberries don’t just bring balance; they bring harmony, especially during those days of the month when your body is singing a slightly off-key tune.
Research has shown that this ancient herb can help rebalance both estrogen and progesterone levels and relieve PMS symptom, according to this study.
And, as a woman with an estrogen-dominant disorder, like endometriosis, chasteberries can offer the balance needed to stay healthy on my journey.
