Like most women, I have had to endure the pain accompanied by that monthly friend-my period. For me, I experienced a lot of back pain, the usual cramps, and even upper leg and lower back pain. These symptoms afflicted me every month for years until I heard of a simple natural remedy that does wonders and kicks that pain to the curb! And that superhero-I mean, remedy-is Raspberry tea.
Why Raspberry Tea??
Raspberry Tea has long been used by natural doctors and midwives to assist in labor and delivery. So what does raspberry tea do, and why are they so important in getting rid of period pain? Well, a meta-analysis (a collection of studies) from 1941 to 2106 found that certain chemicals (flavonoids) work on the smooth muscles of the uterus. According to the Mayo Clinic, cramps occur during your period because the smooth muscles of the uterus is shedding its lining, leading to pain. Drinking raspberry tea during and even before your period comes causes those contractions to cease. When I drink raspberry tea during my period, I experience the following symptoms:
- NO back pain
- NO leg pain
- NO cramps
My period literally comes and goes without wreaking any havoc. Sometimes it ends sooner than usual.
Raspberry leaf tea is filled with antioxidants which reduce oxidative stress In the body that can lead to diseases like cancer. Raspberry leaf tea also contain vitamins A, C, E,, and B vitamins which support the Immune system, prevent oxidative stress In the body that can lead to diseases like cancer. This tea also has calcium, magnesium, and potassium which are great for strong bones and teeth, and healthy digestion. I highly recommend organic raspberry tea. Why organic?
Why Organic Raspberry Tea?
According to the US Department of Agriculture, organic food is defined as crops grown on farms that don’t use harmful pesticides, herbicides or fertilizer before harvesting, and the farms are free of any genetic modification, ionizing radiation or sewage sludge. In regular raspberry tea, the harmful process remain and reduce the amount of antioxidants naturally found in the tea.
If you’re looking for some great brands to buy raspberry tea, try these! A lot of them are from Amazon. Which is great if you have Amazon Prime, and most of them come with huge amounts of tea to keep you stocked up for a couple of months!
The Ancient Greek physician Hippocrates (of the Hippocrates oath fame), once said “let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.” God provides us the means to cure any ailment we have-Including pain during periods! Definitely speak to your doctor, and do your own research as well. So, if you experience heavy, horrible, painful periods consider raspberry tea! It may help you.
