Cool Flush – Women’s Tea

Sage (Salvia officinalis): Sage is used for excess heat during menopause and helps with excess sweating, especially at night. Sage is also used to reduce breast milk production.

Withania (Withania somnifera): Withania is also known as Ashwaganda or Indian Ginseng. Withania is a powerful herb used for improving blood cell health including iron levels, improving stress modulation, and sleep.

Chaste Tree (Vitex agnus-castus): Chaste Tree is also called monk’s pepper due to its ability to curb sexual desire in men. Chaste Tree helps with premenstrual symptoms, to establish a healthy menstrual cycle, and reduces mid-cycle bleeding. It is used to improve fertility, treat severe and cystic acne, and also with insomnia. Chaste Tree increases progesterone levels, which influence stress hormones, cortisol, and adrenaline.

Oat Straw (Avena sativa): Oat straw heals osteoporosis, mends bones, relieves cramps, and strengthens teeth. It stimulates the release of luteinizing hormone which stimulates cell growth and so bone-building capacity. Oat straw’s high calcium and mineral content also promotes bone strength.

Red Clover (Trifolium): Red Clover acts like the female hormone estrogen and may help hormonal imbalances such as during menopause. Red Clover is also used for bone health, as an antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory.

Rosehips (Rosa canina): Rose hips are high in vitamin C, isoflavonoids, and also the source of iron, which is greatly beneficial for menstruating women.

Raspberries (Rubus idaeus): Raspberries play an important role in lowering oxidative stress and reducing inflammation in the body.

Cautions:

Care should be taken when drinking sage during pregnancy and lactation, as it may interfere with breast milk production.
Please consult your health practitioner before drinking this tea if this may apply to you.

Gluten-free note:

Cool Flush Tea contains a small amount of oat straw. Oat straw may contain tiny amounts of gluten from cross-contamination with the grain, but in fact, gluten is not water-soluble and the brew is therefore gluten-free. Coeliacs should take this with caution and at their own discretion.
