Beavida's Tea for PMS

As the period approaches, the mood drops and the all-too-familiar symptoms arise. It might be time to join our Mood Swings Squad with a tea bag, freshly boiled water, and a big cup of goodness. The second part of the menstrual cycle doesn’t have to be daunting. Our PMS tea might encourage you to turn this time into an opportunity for calmness and relaxation.

Most Common Symptoms of Premenstrual Syndrome

Premenstrual symptoms, or simply PMS symptoms, can take different forms. [1]
The most common physical symptoms include tender breasts, fluid retention, diarrhoea or constipation, bloating, headaches, and muscle or joint pain.

For many women, fluctuations in hormones also bring mental symptoms such as depression, irritability, anxiety, and stress. The body and brain react to changes during the menstrual cycle, sometimes affecting overall health in a significant way.

Reducing PMS Symptoms with Herbal Remedies

Herbal tea and reproductive health can go hand in hand. Chamomile has anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic properties and appears effective at easing PMS symptoms. [2] As a tea, the flowers may help regulate serotonin and dopamine. [3] Other herbs support the immune system and aid digestion. The relaxing properties of organic lavender can bring calm and relief from discomfort commonly experienced during PMS. [4]

The benefits of a medicinal brew may therefore be far-reaching. Not just for PMS but also for fertility, when being pregnant, and period cramps. The herbal tea we offer is not a medical supplement but a lifestyle product. Our botanicals are carefully selected for their ability to support you during this stage of your cycle in a holistic way. Educate yourself about the ingredients in each of our blends to find the one that suits you best.

Herbal Tea for Mood Swings and Menstrual Cramps: Raspberry Leaf, Lemon Balm, and More

Although science hasn’t confirmed a clear effect of raspberry leaf on PMS, there are other herbal remedies supported by research. One study, for example, showed a decrease in PMS symptoms when using lemon balm. [5] Monk’s pepper, ginkgo biloba, and saffron crocus have also shown promise. [6]

Some herbs may therefore be beneficial for mood swings and could be used to treat PMS symptoms. However, before trying them, it is best to consult a healthcare professional. Certain herbal teas may interact with medication or existing health conditions. Once you know what could be beneficial for you, look for a blend that includes the botanicals you need.
