Holistic Flow tea and capsules are perfect for those who period pain, menstrual camps, suffering of PMS or menopausal irritability or want to simply regulate and balance their cycles. It is just a gorgeous Flow set for all women in general.
Start drinking it 3 days before your periods start and throughout your menstrual cycle.
Drink tea once a day in the am, before or after breakfast, and another in the evening.
Each Tea bag can be used upto 3 times.
Directions:
Place 1-2 table spoons of flow tea into tea bag.
Pull the string attached to tea bag and tie a knot to close.
The water used for making tea should be boiled only once. If the water is boiled more than once, the oxygen leaven in it gets reduced, and that affects the taste.
Patience plays a huge factor while using tea bags. You should leave the tea bag in the water for about two minutes so that there is ample time for it to infuse the tea flavor. Poking and prodding should be avoided, let the process happen naturally and slowly.
Irrespective of whether you brew in a teapot or cup, the brew should be allowed to cool down for around 2-3 minutes, after removing the tea bags. (Tea bag can be used 2/3 times) Because, once the temperature reduces, the flavors start to develop and deliver a better quality taste and health benefits
If you are looking to sweeten your tea, use agave or date sugar.

Mugwort is a helpful herb for women suffering from amenorrhea, or lack of a period. It helps regulate the cycle and start period again. It works as a uterine tonic and stimulate blood flow to the uterus. Mugwort also has anti-inflammatory properties which is beneficial to alleviate menstrual cramps.
Nettle:
Nettle is an herbalist’s best friend. It is highly nourishing and rich in vitamins and minerals and protein — the superfood of the herb world. Because cramps are often associated with mineral depletion, nettles can help replenish them.
Magnesium, in particular, is notable for its muscle-relaxing qualities and it reduces the painful prostaglandins as well. Nettle also protects the liver.
Dandelion root:
The root of this yellow flower primarily works on the liver, which has over 500 jobs to do in the body.
What does the liver have to do with your menstrual cycle? One of its main jobs is detoxification, and through that process, we eliminate waste like excess hormones through sweat, urine, and bowel movements.
A sluggish liver, and also sluggish digestion, can lead to estrogen dominance when these systems are overburdened, which causes PMS symptoms and other more serious issues if left untreated.
Red raspberry leaf :
Red raspberry leaf is often referred as the woman’s herb because of its amazing benefits for women’s reproductive health. It contains fragarine, an alkaloid which helps reduce menstrual cramps by relaxing and tightening uterine and pelvic muscles.
Red raspberry leaf is also loaded with B vitamins, vitamin C and minerals including potassium, magnesium, zinc, phosphorus and iron, essential nutrients for a healthy menstrual cycle. Drinking red raspberry leaf is an effective and gentle way to relieve menstrual cramp.
Yarrow:
Yarrow is a medicinal herb used traditionally to promote healthy blood circulation and reduce heavy menstrual bleeding, also called menorrhagia. It has antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory properties which are beneficial to ease menstrual cramps. If you have heavy and painful period, yarrow can help reduce or stop the heavy bleeding, relieve menstrual pain and regulate the menstrual cycle.
Linden Blossom:
Linden has anti-spasmodic and soothing qualities, making it particularly valuable for women who suffer from painful periods. Dysmenorrhea is extremely common, but a relaxing cup of linden tea can counter those symptoms, while also improving mood swings and hormonal fluctuation.
Motherwort:
Motherwort can also help relieve premenstrual tension and discomfort. Most menstrual cramps are partially due to inadequate circulation in the pelvis. Motherwort may help calm menstrual pain by both reducing spasms in the uterus and improving blood flow to the pelvis.
