POWERFUL INGREDIENTS:
Catnip: A well renowned herb in the mint family that has an uncanny ability to soothe and ease soft muscles in the body. For women suffering from painful menstrual cramps, catnip tea is often recommended as an alternative treatment, because it can quickly relieve those cramps in the body. Furthermore, its sedative and calming effects can aid in a deeper more relaxed sleep and also soothe many symptoms of menstruation such as mood swings and depression.
Chamomile: Research shows that chamomile has anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic and stress-relieving properties that are beneficial for menstrual pain as well as other PMS symptoms (such as anxiety and mood swings). Chamomile has anti-inflammatory and pain relieving properties. Chamomile contains compounds like spiroethers, which reduce muscle spasms (such as the ones that occur in the uterus) and as such, results in less pain.
Ginger: Dysmenorrhea is the medical term for something almost every woman knows: painful period cramps. Studies have found that ginger can be just as effective as ibuprofen, acetaminophen, and caffeine for pain related to menstruation. If you are struggling with heavy bleeding, ginger can also help with that! Some people think PMS is normal. But it’s actually not. It’s a sign that something is out of balance. And guess what? Ginger can help with that, too!
CAUTION: Catnip can cause drowsiness in extreme doses. Refer to your health practitioner if using during pregnancy or nursing. Chamomile is part of the Astacea family including daisies, sunflowers and marigolds. A percentage of people are allergic to this class of plant.
