Here is my favourite tea (and tea addition) for that time of the month!
Female Tonic is an option for those women who want a supportive tea for that time of the month.
Also known as the everyday “multivitamin” for women, it is tailored to balance, nourish & support the female body. Besides being nutrient dense, it also contains botanicals that promote healthy and glowing skin.
Ingredients:
(Peppermint, nettle, raspberry leaf, ginger root, dandelion leaf, oatstraw, horsetail chamomile, rose petals, stevia)
Brewing Instructions:
Place 1-2 teaspoons Female Tonic tea material into a steeping utensil; placing in a 6-8 oz size cup. Add 6-8 oz of boiling water and steep for up to 3-5 minutes. To increase medicinal properties, steep 15-30 minutes.
Tip~ I often recommend this tea for women who experienceuncomfortable & unbalanced menstrual cycles.
Try adding a tablespoon of Natural Calm Magnesium (Lemon Flavour) into hot or chilled Female Tonic. {Magnesium relaxes smooth muscle, which helps to relieve painful cramping.}
If you have any questions about this tea or other ways to balance and support your cycle with botanicals, drop by the Apothecary (109th St.). Be sure to download a copy of our Spring
