In the pursuit of holistic well-being, many women turn to natural remedies to support their hormone health. I created this supportive tea blend that combines carefully selected herbs known for their therapeutic properties in nurturing and restoring women's hormone balance.
I created this blend with both fertility and menopausal support in mind. The herbs used in this blend help to bring balance to the hormones whether you have high or low estrogen. In this blog post, we will delve into each herb included in the blend and explore how they contribute to women's hormone health.

It is rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that promote overall reproductive health. This herb is believed to help regulate hormonal imbalances, reduce menstrual issues, and support fertility.
Licorice Root:
Licorice root is one of the best herbs for those struggling with estrogen dominance because it aids the liver in removing excess estrogen. All growths whether that be cysts or fibroids inside the reproductive system, is a huge sign of estrogen dominance. Licorice helps regulate the liver while also providing universal endocrine gland support and a sweet taste.
Peppermint:
Peppermint is in this blend for its soothing properties on the body, it is also deeply antimicrobial for those struggling with any type of yeast or candida over growths. It provides a nice cooling flavor to balance out the other stronger flavored herbs in the blend. Peppermint is also a digestive system support since some women deal with bloating, gas and indigestion during various cycles in the month. It also has been known to aid in menstrual cramps.
Red Clover:
Red clover is a lymphatic system stimulant and helps to move toxins out of the body. A majority of the time, lymphatic clogging causes a lot of issues, especially in the reproductive system. Red clover can keep things flowing to toxins from the body. It is also excellent for menopausal symptoms because it has balancing effects on estrogen when estrogen is low during menopause. Red clover also supports bone mineral density which women of all ages can struggle with throughout our phases of life such as pregnancy, nursing, and menopause.

Damiana also has a relaxing effect on the nervous system, helping to reduce stress and anxiety which can positively impact overall well-being. Damiana is used to support hormonal balance and alleviate menstrual symtpms such as cramps and irregular periods.
Schisandra Berry:
This berry is commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine to alleviate women health issues. It is an adaptogenic and has antioxidant properties to remove unwanted impurities from the body.Its antioxidant properties protect the cells from damage and improve liver function which helps with balancing estrogen.
