why use herbal Hormone teas?
WHY DO I CHOOSE TO CREATE & USE HERBAL TEAS? Herbal remedies have been used for a long time. Herbal medicine is the establishment of modern medicine this is where conventional medicine started. I love using nature in its most potent natural form. In a few short descriptions it is has fewer side effects, strengthens the immune system actually healing the root of the symptoms over time. Plus, its beautiful to learn about each plant that was created for a purpose, it’s quite sad that society doesn’t teach about nature. This is why I create personalized herbal protocols for clients and tea blends, each herb has a purpose and blends with other herbs to create a higher potency & impact on the body. For example, one of my hormone teas: Red Raspberry leaf, red clover, nettle, schisandra berry & spearmint. I created this tea to help balance PCOS symptoms naturally as well as hormone levels and hormonal acne.
Lets break down each herb component: Red Raspberry Leaf- Reduce cramps, reduce heavy painful periods, balance mood swings, full of vitamin b6 which binds to estrogen, progesterone and Testosterone, helping to regulate these hormones and by doing that also helps hormonal acne.
Red Clover: Is rich in isoflavones. These compounds that act as phytoestrogens-plant chemicals similar to female hormone estrogen. Red clover has fantastic anti inflammatory compounds that acne reduce acne and support lymphatic system with normal and healthy elimination. This herb has been used in traditional medicine to promote skin & hair health.
Nettle: This herb supports our bodies! It is jammed packed with rich minerals like natures multi vitamin like vitamins A,C, K fatty acids, iron, calcium, manganese and high in chlorophyll. Great source of Iron for thyroid & whole body function, balances blood sugar, supports liver function and fights inflammation.
Schisandra berry: Balances are hormones by improving our ability to deal with stresses both physical and emotional! This one is a daily must for me! Its high level of antioxidants helps to fight free radical damage and lower inflammatory response. This herb helps the liver and adrenals by supporting them and is also used to revive energy, fatigue & stress.
Spearmint: As someone who suffered with hormonal acne my whole life this was a lifesaver after discovering it! I try to incorporate it daily in my teas or Matchas! Spearmint has anti androgen properties! Androgens are male hormones like Testosterone (which my issue with cystic Ance was having to much testosterone.) Spearmint helped to balance this imbalance.
Hope this helps gives you insight in to why I combined this blend in my hormone tea! For more 1:1 hormone support please reach out for a consultation.
