When it comes to that time of the month, there is noooo reason why we should be enduring extreme pain and discomfort. Severe cramping is NOT natural (it's definitely normal in this society though). They lied to us girl. Most women have issues with their menstrual cycle and the culprit? Highly stressful lives and a toxic environment.



Cramps occur when we have something stuck in our womb or stagnation of blood flow. Our uterus cramps when it's trying to get something out, ie. your baby, uterine lining, fibroids, cysts etc.


I created an herbal tea to drink the week before and during your menstrual cycle to help with cramping, iron deficiency and more. It has made a HUGE difference in my cycle by reducing cramps, pms, bloating and weakness caused by blood loss.


Auset Herbal's Period Tea includes the following delicious and nutritious herbs:



Alfalfa Leaf: a good source of vitamins A, C, and E, which are all important for immune health. Alfalfa contains plant-based hormones called phytoestrogens, which may help regulate the production of hormones in the body. This may be beneficial for individuals with hormonal imbalances, such as PCOS, menopause or PMS.



 

Blackseed: This one is almost like a 'cure-all'. Its mentioned in the Quran as "the remedy for everything but death." Rich in nutrients, blackseed has been shown to have several potential benefits for menstruation:

  • It may reduce menstrual cramps: Black cumin seed contains compounds that have anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties. These compounds may help reduce the severity of menstrual cramps, providing relief from this common symptom.

  • It may regulate menstrual cycles: Black cumin seed contains phytoestrogens, which are plant-based hormones that may help regulate the production of hormones in the body. This may be beneficial for individuals with irregular menstrual cycles or hormonal imbalances.

  • It may improve mood: Black cumin seed contains compounds that may have antidepressant and anxiolytic effects. These compounds may help improve mood and reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, which are common during menstruation.

  • It may reduce PMS symptoms: Black cumin seed has been shown to have a range of potential benefits for PMS symptoms, such as bloating, breast tenderness, and mood changes. It may help reduce the severity of these symptoms, providing relief for individuals who experience PMS.

  • regulate menstrual cycles: Burdock root contains compounds that may help regulate the production of hormones in the body. This may be beneficial for individuals with irregular menstrual cycles or hormonal imbalances.

  • It may improve mood: Burdock root contains compounds that may have antidepressant and anxiolytic effects. These compounds may help improve mood and reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, which are common during menstruation.

  • It may support liver health: Burdock root is a liver tonic, meaning it may help support the health and function of the liver. The liver plays an important role in hormonal health, so supporting its function may be beneficial for menstruation.
