Listen to your body, trust your intuition, and choose the blend that calls to you today.

Menstruation (Days 1–7)

Your period marks the beginning of your cycle. Estrogen and progesterone levels are at their lowest, which can lead to fatigue, cramping, and a heavy feeling. This is the time to prioritize self-care and replenish your body. Peach Pollen offers two blends specifically formulated for this phase:

Inner Zest & Calm AF -These two comfort tea blends combine herbs that help soothe digestion, bloating, and cramps*: ginger and lemon balm. While the jasmine green tea provides a gentle energy boost.

The Intention - To ease discomfort and revitalize your body during menstruation.*

Lunar's Embrace - This nourishing blend of red raspberry leaf, hibiscus, and rose hips is a powerhouse of antioxidants, iron, and vitamin C*. Red raspberry leaf is traditionally used to tone the uterus, while hibiscus supports circulation (note: hibiscus is generally not recommended during pregnancy). Rose hips provide an extra dose of vitamin C to support healing and immunity*.

The Intention - To replenish and nourish your body with vital nutrients after menstruation.*

Follicular Phase (Days 8–13)

During the follicular phase, rising estrogen levels boost energy and mental clarity.* It’s an ideal time for creativity, planning, and setting intentions. Supporting your body with nutrient-rich herbs during this phase is important to replenish what was lost during menstruation and prepare for ovulation.

Nature's Nightcap - Nettle leaf, rich in vitamins and minerals, helps replenish essential nutrients, while passion flower promotes restful sleep, crucial for restoring energy.*

The Intention - To support deep rest and provide your body with the building blocks it needs for the cycle ahead.*

Lunar's Embrace - Red raspberry leaf and hibiscus are loaded with iron, and antioxidants.* Nourish your body with this blend to support overall vitality and blood production.

Ovulation (Days 14–17)

During ovulation, energy levels peak, but you might experience bloating, mild cramps, or tension due to increased estrogen and luteinizing hormone (LH). A calming tea can help keep you grounded.

Calm AF - This soothing blend of chamomile, lemon balm, oatstraw, and spearmint eases digestion, reduces bloating, and relaxes muscles without causing drowsiness. Spearmint may also help balance hormones and manage stress.*

The Intention- To promote calmness and balance during ovulation.*

"Chamomile has been traditionally used for its calming and relaxing effects, and studies suggest it may help reduce anxiety and improve sleep quality."

Luteal Phase (Days 18–28)

As estrogen declines and progesterone rises in the luteal phase, PMS symptoms like mood swings, bloating, and fatigue can arise. Peach Pollen offers three blends to support you through this phase*:

Weird Thyme - This unique blend of holy basil, thyme, and lemon balm helps balance mood, manage stress, and support the immune system. Holy basil is known for its adaptogenic properties, helping the body cope with stress. Thyme offers antibacterial and relaxing effects.*

The Intention - To promote emotional balance and resilience during the luteal phase.*

Nature's Nightcap - Replenish your body with nettle leaf and ease pre-menstrual tension with the calming effects of passionflower.

The Intention - To soothe the body (nervous system) and mind as you prepare for menstruation.*

Inner Zest – This invigorating blend combines ginger and lemon balm to soothe digestion, and bloating, while jasmine green tea provides a gentle caffeine energy boost.*

The Intention – To ease digestion discomfort and revitalize (with caffeine) your body during the luteal phase.*

Holistic Hormone Balance

Incorporating these teas into your routine can be a powerful way to support hormonal balance throughout your cycle. Remember that consistency is key. Enjoy a cup of tea regularly and allow the benefits to accumulate over time. Starting with being aware of what menstrual phase your in, and eating foods and herbs to support that phase is an incredible first step to getting to know your menstrual symptoms.

To further enhance your well-being, consider these lifestyle changes:

Nourishing Diet - Focus on whole foods, including fruits, vegetables, protein (start the day with 30+ grams), and healthy fats.

Regular Exercise - Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise most days of the week.

Stress Management - Incorporate practices like gardening, yoga, meditation, or deep breathing/grounding exercises to manage stress levels.

Quality Sleep - Prioritize 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night.

With Peach Pollen, you're not just sipping tea—you're embracing a natural approach to hormonal health and overall vitality.
