Working with plant medicine during your menstrual cycle is an excellent method to respect your body's natural cycles and promote hormonal balance. A menstrual cycle comprises four stages: menstruation, pre-ovulation, ovulation, and pre-menstruation. Holistic herbal teas can be quite useful for controlling several parts of the menstrual cycle. Hydration is incredibly important. Staying hydrated is critical during your period, and drinking herbal teas can help maintain hydration levels and alleviate symptoms such as headaches and exhaustion.
