PMS Relief Herbal Tea

Everyone knows what "PMS" really stands for, but sometimes it seems like PMS is short for Pretty Miserable Situation. A tasty warm cup of a herbal tea can turn all of that around, especially if it eases irritability, tension, and discomfort associated with that time of the month. 

Skullcap earned its name for its delicate blue flowers which somewhat resemble the shape of helmets worn by early American soldiers. This tea is made with the leaves, stems, and flowers, collected when the plants are in flower. Traditionally used to support the nervous system, our skullcap is grown organically right here in Elbe, Washington and cultivated with out the use of chemicals or pesticides. 

Lemon Balm while refreshingly stimulating, has the effect of calming the nerves. The balm tea is effective in helping people relax and feel good when depressed or anxious.

Passion Flower (Passiflora incarnata) has a natural calming and sedative effect. It has been found to increase the levels of GABA in the brain, helping your body relax. Passionflower is used to calm anxiety and insomnia. The flavonoids found in Passion flower are responsible for its anti-anxiety and relaxing effects. It has long been used for panic attacks, mild mood swings, nervous tension, hyperactivity, crying spells, irritability, restlessness, hysteria and epilepsy. Passion Flower tinctures are used for sleep problems (insomnia), ADD, ADHD, gastrointestinal (GI), related to anxiety or nervousness, generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), and for relieving symptoms related to withdrawal from narcotic drugs. 

Cinnamon chips has been used for digestive ailments such as indigestion, gas and bloating, stomach upset, nausea, diarrhea and painful menstruation. 

Arctic Root (Rhodiola Rosea) Relieves occasional anxiety and positively supports the body during periods of stress. Arctic Root is a plant indigenous to Siberia, where it thrives in high altitudes and dry arctic climate. The primary medicinal compounds of Arctic Root are derived from the root of the plant.
In Russia, Scandinavia and much of Europe, Arctic Root has been traditionally recognized for its adaptogenic properties. An adaptogen is a physiological agent that naturally increases the body’s resistance to physical and emotional stress. Rhodiola Rosea has been clinically shown to stimulate Serotonin, Norepinephrine and Dopamine activity, and may help to support healthy neurotransmitter balance.
