PMS Grrrr Tea - Nettle

Grrrr! Feeling hormonal & ugh. I make a herbal tea for this time of month that seems to help. I have been sitting at my desk feeling grumpy and then remembered ahhh right - it is "that time" now sipping on my tea and waiting for the grrrrrs to go away.

PMS/That Time Grrr Tea

• 1tsp dried nettles
• 1tsp dried chamomile
• 1 tsp dried mint
• 3-4 dried rosehips split open
• 1 slice of lemon

Combine all in a tea ball or a tea bodum let steep for about 5 minutes and drink throughout the day makes one medium pot of tea.
Nettles are rich in vitamins, calcium, iron, folic acid, potassium, magnesium, carotene, and zinc they also contain a natural antihistamine and anti-inflammatory substances.
Chamomile has been found to contain fairly strong antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory constituents making it great for cramps.
Rose hips contain a lot of iron and are said to be good for headaches.
