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.

Living with uterine fibroids can be challenging, especially when symptoms like heavy menstrual bleeding, fatigue, and pelvic discomfort interfere with daily life.

This refreshing drink is made with ingredients that support overall wellness and may be a healthy addition to the diet of women living with uterine fibroids.

5 minutes

🍹 Servings:

2

🥣 Ingredients

• 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries (sliced)
• 2–3 tbsp honey (adjust to taste)
• 1 tbsp fresh lime juice (or lemon juice)
• 2 cups cold sparkling water (or club soda)
• ½ cup cold water (optional for milder taste)
• Ice cubes
• Fresh mint leaves (optional but amazing)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Make the strawberry base

In a cup or small bowl, lightly mash the strawberries with honey.

You don’t need to puree them — just break them down enough to release juice.

2️⃣ Add citrus

Stir in the lime juice.

This balances the sweetness and makes it refreshing instead of “syrupy.”

3️⃣ Build the drink

In a glass, add:

• Ice
• Strawberry mixture

Then pour in:

• Sparkling water

Stir gently.

4️⃣ Finish

Top with fresh mint leaves if you want a “spa drink” vibe.

💡 Why this is healthy but sweet

• 🍓 Strawberries = natural sweetness + antioxidants
• 🍯 Honey = better alternative to refined sugar
• 🫧 Sparkling water = no calories but feels like soda
• 🍋 Lime = helps balance flavor + adds freshness

🔥 Flavor upgrade ideas (optional)

If you want it even better:

• Add cucumber slices (super refreshing)
• Add basil instead of mint (more gourmet taste)
• Use lemon + lime together for stronger citrus kick
• Add a splash of apple juice if you want it sweeter

🥤 Taste description

It tastes like:
👉 a strawberry soda
👉 a spa drink
👉 a light fruit lemonade
but without artificial sugar
