PMS Tea
This is a good recipe for a soothing mellow tea to use to alleviate PMS. Traditional Medicinals also has a good PMS tea which you can find at your local health food store for about $5 a box. I like to make my own PMS tea when I can.
Mix the following in equal parts to a clean dry glass jar. Using 1 oz of each herb will yield a big jar full. Enough for several months. Just be sure to store it out of direct sunlight in a cool, dark place.
Herbs for PMS tea;
Burdock root
Dandelion root
Vitex berries
Motherwort
Wild yam
Feverfew
Skullcap
Hops
Catnip
Peppermint
Red raspberry leaves
Nettles
Oatstraw
Lemon Balm
Use a tea ball or brew 1 tsp. per cup. This tea is very lovely. Drink 2-3 cups per day or as needed. You can use any of the herbs listed here and make it according to your tastes but I like variety!
Drinking tea is a very effective way to self heal so it is my favorite way to treat a lot of things (including PMS).
