🌿 CYCLE TEA INGREDIENTS  WHY EACH ONE MATTERS

Cannabis Leaf (Cannabis sativa)
· Why it’s here: Cannabis leaf (and its compounds) supports the endocannabinoid system, which plays a role in regulating pain, mood, and inflammation. It can help ease cramps, reduce anxiety, and support restful sleep during your cycle. Even without the psychoactive effects, the leaf itself has therapeutic properties.

Yarrow (Achillea millefolium)
· Why it’s here: Yarrow is a powerful uterine tonic. It helps regulate menstrual flow, eases cramps, and reduces heavy bleeding. It’s also a gentle anti-inflammatory and can help balance hormones. Traditionally, it’s been used to support women through all stages of their cycle.

Shepherd’s Purse (Capsella bursa-pastoris)
· Why it’s here: This herb is a go-to for heavy menstrual bleeding. It helps tone the uterus and reduce excessive flow. It’s also a mild diuretic, which can help with bloating. It’s one of those herbs that works quickly and gently.

Hibiscus (Hibiscus sabdariffa)
· Why it’s here: Hibiscus is rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, which support your immune system during your cycle. It’s also a mild diuretic and can help with water retention. Plus, it adds a beautiful tart flavor and deep red color to the tea — a reminder that your cycle is a time of renewal.

Wild Yam (Dioscorea villosa)
· Why it’s here: Wild yam contains compounds that support hormone balance, particularly progesterone production. It’s often used to ease menstrual cramps, PMS symptoms, and menopausal discomfort. It’s a gentle but powerful ally for women’s health.

Holy Thistle (Cnicus benedictus)
· Why it’s here: Holy thistle is a bitter herb that supports digestion and liver function — which is especially important during your cycle when your body is processing hormones. It also has mild anti-inflammatory properties and is used to support circulation and blood flow.
