There are so many jokes, books, serious literature and scientific studies on the subject of the female cycle that it is almost impossible to come up with anything new. And yet. Although this topic directly affects half the world’s population (and indirectly the other half as well), there is no foolproof solution that would miraculously resolve the problems associated with the female cycle. And although there are companies that claim to have invented a product ‘for those days’, every woman knows that something else helps her. Sometimes it’s chocolate, sometimes a tablet, but most often it’s simply some peace and quiet...
And a sense of inner peace is almost always linked to some kind of ritual involving a drink. Good coffee, good wine, good tea… Tea, in particular, may well be the best solution. It puts the least strain on the body, can help in the long term – not just for a few minutes – and, above all, has no side effects. Female balance is something scientists are constantly researching. Hormonal fluctuations, stress, negative moods. These are all consequences of a deficiency in certain substances that are lacking in a woman’s body at any given moment. However, this state of balance can be restored by supplementing essential substances found in plants, carefully cultivated on organic farms.
Our grandmothers had a tea for every occasion. For a tummy ache, an earache, a nasty cough – even when your boyfriend had left you. And they also had one that could restore a woman’s body to a state of calm and balance. Our Women’s Tea also contains a blend of these herbs. It is a blend of nine carefully selected herbs.
Common alchemilla is a traditional herb considered to be key to female hormonal balance. It is rich in phytohormones, flavonoids and tannins, which help to soothe the body and mind. It has long been used to support the menstrual cycle, during the menopause and to promote general vitality.
Agrimony helps to stop bleeding, acts as a liver detoxifier and stimulates the production of bile and digestive enzymes. Common marjoram – oregano. It relieves stomach cramps, soothes inflammation and is rich in antioxidants. It also helps with urinary tract infections. Dyer’s rocket restores balance to the body; it was already known to the ancient Egyptians. It has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.
Mouse-ear hawkweed. Or, to put it a little more elegantly: common mouse-ear hawkweed. It is excellent for digestive comfort, is used to treat wounds and stops bleeding. It supports women’s reproductive health and relieves period pain. Alfalfa contains vitamins A, B, C, E and K, as well as minerals such as calcium, iron, phosphorus and potassium… It improves metabolism and aids digestion. Calendula is a key ingredient in all organic cosmetics, particularly those for children. It aids healing and accelerates epithelialisation in skin wounds and ulcers. It has regenerative effects.
Lemon balm strengthens the nervous system and supports mental health. It has a relaxing and sedative effect. It relieves headaches and toothaches, as well as PMS symptoms. It alleviates the symptoms of insomnia. The ninth herb in our blend for women’s balance is cornflower, which supports the immune system and digestion, relieves cramps and soothes stomach discomfort. It has anti-inflammatory effects.
These nine carefully selected plants are included in our tea, which will bring you relief throughout your day. Not only will it soothe and relax you, but its many active ingredients will replenish the levels depleted by daily stress or your period. It’s the answer to the question of whether tough days can be managed without a pill or a glass of alcohol. They can. You just need to put your trust in nature.
