Women’s Health Tip
Enjoy this warm tea with a heating pad, gentle stretching, or a short walk if you feel up to it. These habits, along with staying hydrated, may help you feel more comfortable during your menstrual cycle.
Note: This tea is intended to support comfort and hydration—it is not a cure for menstrual cramps. If you experience severe menstrual pain, very heavy bleeding, or symptoms that interfere with your daily activities, consult a healthcare professional to determine whether an underlying condition such as endometriosis, adenomyosis, or fibroids may be contributing to your symptoms.
