For centuries, cultures across the globe have spoken about the magical powers of tea. It has been said by many that no matter the issue, a cup of tea can solve anything. We have partnered with Tea Total to bring you a natural remedy to relax your mind and body during your menstrual cycle.

Raspberry leaf has a rich flavour similar to green tea. Rich in nutrients and antioxidants, red raspberry leaf tea may offer health and nutrition benefits and help relieve period symptoms.  Its often referred to as the Women's herb.

Ingredients: Nothing but raspberry leaves.

Benefits:

• Research supports the anecdotal evidence of women saying that the leaves help relieve premenstrual symptoms (PMS), such as cramping, vomiting, nausea and diarrhea.
• Red raspberry leaves contain fragarine, a plant compound that helps tone and tighten muscles in the pelvic area, which may reduce the menstrual cramping caused by the spasms of these muscles.
• 28 grams of red raspberry leaves pack 3.3 mg of iron, which is 18% of the recommended daily intake (RDI) for women aged 19–50. Getting enough iron can combat the anemia often experienced by women with heavy menstrual cycles.

Brewing Instructions: 

• 1 heaped teaspoon for 250ml cup
• Add freshly boiled water
• Steep for 6-10 minutes then pour

50g will make around 35 cups of tea.
