Food Over Drugs — Reproductive Formula (Female) Tea · 230 g

A deeply nourishing loose-leaf herbal tea for women, built on classic female tonic herbs: vitex, dong quai, wild yam, red raspberry leaf and nettle.

Food Over Drugs' Reproductive Formula brings together ten organic and wildcrafted roots, barks and leaves that herbalists have relied on for generations to support the female reproductive system and a balanced monthly cycle. Vitex and dong quai are two of the most widely used women's herbs in Western and Chinese traditions. Red raspberry leaf and squaw vine are traditional uterine tonics, nettle brings minerals, and ginger and cinnamon warm the blend and make it taste like a spiced chai. It comes as a loose tea you can steep by the cup or brew in a big batch for the week.

Key ingredients

• Chaste tree (vitex) berry: the classic herb traditionally used to support hormonal balance and a regular cycle.
• Dong quai root: known as "female ginseng" in Chinese tradition, used to nourish and support women's health.
• Wild yam root: traditionally used to ease cramping and support the reproductive system.
• Red raspberry leaf and squaw vine: time-honored uterine tonics.
• Stinging nettle leaf: a mineral-rich nourishing herb.
• Licorice, cinnamon, ginger and sassafras: warming, flavorful herbs that round out the blend and support digestion.

Who this is for

• Women looking for natural support for a balanced, comfortable cycle
• Anyone preparing their body for conception (before pregnancy only)
• Women navigating postpartum or perimenopausal changes who want gentle herbal nourishment
• Tea drinkers who want a daily ritual with purpose
