FLOW (Menstrual Support Tea)

Why This Exists

Your cycle is not an inconvenience to be managed. It is information. It is a monthly reflection of your overall health — and when it's painful, irregular, or heavy, your body is asking for support, not suppression. FLOW was made for the days your body needs tending: a warming, deeply nourishing herbal tea blend that works with your cycle rather than against it.

FLOW = For the Love Of Wombhood

The Ritual

Steep one heaped teaspoon in near-boiling water for 7–10 minutes. Cover the cup while steeping to preserve the volatile oils. Drink 1–3 cups daily in the days leading up to and during your period. Sweeten with raw honey if desired. Hold the cup. Breathe in the steam. Let this be a moment of actual rest, not just a hot drink.

Plant Wisdom

Red Raspberry Leaf (Rubus idaeus) — the uterine tonic. Red raspberry leaf is one of the most time-honoured herbs in women's herbal medicine. Rich in fragarine — a compound that tones and strengthens the uterine muscle — it supports more efficient contractions during menstruation, which can reduce cramping and shorten heavy flow. It is also high in magnesium, potassium, and iron: the exact minerals depleted during menstruation.

Cramp Bark (Viburnum opulus) — does exactly what its name says. Cramp bark relaxes smooth muscle, making it one of the most effective herbal remedies for menstrual cramps and lower back pain associated with the cycle.

Ginger Root (Zingiber officinale) — warming and anti-inflammatory. Ginger inhibits prostaglandins — the compounds that cause uterine cramping — while improving circulation to the pelvic region and easing nausea.

Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) — the nervous system's gentlest ally. Chamomile calms the tension and irritability that often accompanies the premenstrual and menstrual phase, allowing the body to move through the cycle with more ease.

Nettle Leaf (Urtica dioica) — a nutritional powerhouse. Nettle replenishes iron and other minerals lost through menstrual bleeding, supporting energy and reducing the fatigue that often accompanies heavy periods.

Rooted in Jamaica

In Jamaica, plant medicine for women's health has always existed — passed down quietly, sometimes spoken about in whispers, sometimes brewed openly in the kitchen. Herbs for the womb, for the cycle, for the transition. This knowledge is not folklore. It is sophisticated, effective, and deeply earned. FLOW honours that tradition: the understanding that a woman's cycle is sacred, that the body has wisdom, and that the right plants can help you move through your monthly rhythm with more grace and less suffering.
