BALANCE {hormonal support}

A female organ system tonic formulated to assist the body in finding better hormonal balance and overall reproductive system nourishment.

Purpose: I created this blend while working in our apothecary and seeing the high need for better natural hormonal balance and relief from the signals that came from imbalance- mood swings, skin issues, digestive problems, sleep difficulty, hair loss, you name it! I’ve had wonderful feedback on the assistance that this brew can bring. I consider this blend appropriate from onset of the first menses all the way through menopause.

Pick me if: Signals are showing that you may need hormonal balance support and regulation.

Important Notes: It is possible for symptoms get a little stronger or change during the balancing process. This can last up to a month. Only continue if you feel comfortable and safe with the changes. Not appropriate if on birth control or pregnant. This one is definitely best drank daily for optimal balance. There is a tincture version of this if you prefer ;)

Flavor profile: Earthy, romantic, slightly floral while herbaceous

Organic Ingredients: Vitex berry, Dandelion root, Shatavari root, Raspberry leaf, Lemon Verbena aerials, Rose petals Caffeine free

Understanding the Ingredients:  I created this blend from years of my own experience needing increased support in areas of hormonal balancing, reproductive organ support, and overall wellness. I needed to be as nourished and balanced as possible due to dealing with hormonal imbalance, PMS, endometriosis and uterine fibroids. I struggled greatly with inflammation, scar tissue, and pain as a result of these issues and knew I needed to reach to my herbal companions for support. After creating this blend, I realized its comprehensiveness for many. I’ve witnessed many women finding great support from this blend for a variety of reasons ranging from PMS to infertility though we of course cannot make health claims as to what it may do for you.  Each herb brings a specialty: Vitex is an incredible hormonal balance supportive herb. I have yet to meet an herb that does a more impressive job working with the female organ system to create a better balanced state. Specifically, estrogen and progesterone balance. I added dandelion root as the perfect liver tonic that seems to have an affinity for helping the liver break down excess estrogens allowing for a better balanced state and acting in great support to the vitex berry.  Shatavari is a well known Ayervedic female system tonic, adaptogen. and nutritive tonic. I invited raspberry leaf to the party for its tonic properties it brings to the uterus and reproductive system. Lemon Verbena is a lovely aromatic herb with soothing properties offering flavor and benefit just as Rose petals are more than just a lovely flavor. They bring anti inflammatory, soothing, and uplifting properties uniquely their own. This blend is most helpful drank daily if you are seeking balance or aid in a specific area. It could take a couple of months to see the benefits clearly as they are working WITH your body for your body to do the work. If simply seeking a nourishing blend for your female organ system, drink as often as you like and soak up the love you receive in each sip.

Not your ordinary teabag: Our hand-made teabags are large since they are a full portion to provide you with the intended benefit and desired support. Each one may be re-steeped several times throughout the day. The brewed tea may also be saved in the fridge over night and enjoyed chilled the following day. They are each handcrafted in perfect measurement within a microplastic free teabag and hand stapled with a stainless steel staple. This is slow craft herbalism with care.
