Organic Rose Petals: Offer a gentle, mood-enhancing floral note while providing antioxidants and vitamin C to support skin renewal and hormonal balance during the follicular phase. Its calming yet uplifting properties help ease stress and align with the body’s natural rise in optimism as estrogen levels increase.

Organic Red Clover: Contains phytoestrogens that harmonize with the body’s natural estrogen surge, making it ideal for regulating cycles and preparing for ovulation. Its blood-purifying and hormone-balancing qualities also support detoxification and reproductive health during this rejuvenating phase.

Calendula: Soothes uterine tension and eases menstrual discomfort with its anti-inflammatory and lymphatic-supporting properties, perfect for the follicular phase’s need for gentle detoxification. Its golden petals also bring a spirit-lifting warmth to the blend, calming anxiety and fostering renewal.

Organic Orange Peel: Infuses the tea with a bright, citrusy zing that uplifts the senses while delivering vitamin C to boost collagen production and immune function. Its cleansing properties aid liver detoxification, helping the body metabolize hormones as energy and vitality rise.

Organic Lemon Balm: Calms the mind and sharpens focus with its nervine qualities, making it a perfect match for the follicular phase’s surge in mental clarity. Its adaptogenic effects also help regulate cortisol levels, reducing stress and emotional turbulence during this transformative time.

Organic Nettle Leaf: Replenishes the body with iron, magnesium, and calcium after menstruation, fueling the follicular phase’s rising energy and vitality. Its nutrient-dense profile supports kidney and adrenal health, aiding in hormone regulation and reducing inflammation.

What is the follicular phase, and why is this tea blend designed for it?

The follicular phase is the first half of a woman's menstrual cycle, starting on the first day of her period and ending with ovulation. During this phase, estrogen levels rise, energy increases, and the body prepares for ovulation. This blend supports hormonal balance, detoxification, and emotional well-being during this time.

How often should I drink this tea during the follicular phase?

Drink 1–2 cups daily throughout the follicular phase (typically days 1–14 of your cycle). You can start on the first day of your period and continue until ovulation.

How do I know when I'm ovulating to switch teas? This tea is intended to bring you closer to your body and notice changes through the phases. Ovulation is your "full moon," which lasts about 24 hours and is your peak fertile window. You will notice things like:

Cervical Mucus:

During ovulation: Mucus becomes clear, stretchy, and slippery, resembling raw egg whites.

Beginning of Luteal Phase: Mucus dries up again or becomes sticky.

Libido Changes

During Ovulation: Many women experience a heightened sense of arousal, energy and confidence due to surging estrogen and testosterone. Do you feel more flirtatious, energetic, or drawn to intimacy?

Beginning of Luteal Phase: Sexual desire drops and so may your energy and mood.

There are other ways that help like using a cycle tracking app or checking basal body temperature. The key is to grow a deeper connection with your body!

Is this tea safe for everyone?

While most people can safely enjoy this tea, there are a few considerations:

Pregnancy: Avoid damiana and red clover, as they may stimulate uterine contractions.

Medications: If you’re on hormonal birth control or thyroid medication, consult your healthcare provider before use, as red clover and other herbs may interact.

Allergies: If you’re allergic to plants in the Asteraceae family (like calendula or chamomile), use caution.

Men: While the blend is formulated to support feminine health, most of the ingredients offer general wellness beneficial for anyone. Red clover and damiana contain mild phytoestrogens, but are unlikely to cause imbalances in men in moderate amounts. However, men with hormone-sensitive conditions (e.g., prostate issues) should consult a healthcare provider.

How should I prepare this tea for maximum benefits?

Steep 1–2 teaspoons of the blend in 8 oz of hot water for 10 minutes, covered.

Strain and drink warm for best results, but it can also be enjoyed iced.

Can I use this tea to support fertility or hormonal balance long-term?

Yes! This blend can be part of a long-term holistic approach to hormonal health. To support the Luteal Phase, cycle between this blend (Waxing Moon) and MillieMade's Waning Moon to complete the Balanced Femme (bundle). Always consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice.

Does this tea have caffeine?

No, this blend is 100% caffeine-free.

Are there any side effects?

Most people tolerate this blend well, but in rare cases, mild digestive upset or allergic reactions (e.g., rash, itching) may occur. If you experience discomfort, discontinue use and consult a healthcare provider.

How does this blend align with sustainability?

Most ingredients are organic, supporting soil health, biodiversity, and chemical-free farming. By choosing organic, you’re also reducing your exposure to pesticides and supporting eco-conscious agriculture.
