Ladies, if you’ve ever felt like your period turns you into a completely different person—one minute crying at a cute puppy video, the next snapping at your partner for breathing too loud—trust me, I’ve been there. Add in the cramps, bloating, and breakouts? A nightmare. 😩
But what if I told you there’s a simple, natural way to make your period a little less… miserable? That’s exactly what raspberry leaf tea did for me. It actually helped balance my emotions, reduce cramps, and minimize all the not-so-fun PMS symptoms.
If you’re tired of dreading that time of the month, keep reading—I’m about to spill the (raspberry leaf) tea. 😉
Raspberry tea and it’s period benefits
If you’re anything like me you spend your periods on the emotional rollercoaster all while trying to deal with extreme cramps! I know honey I’ve been there it is not fun at all and If I could trade one for the other I would choose to ease my emotions over cramps… I know how could I say that but I could deal with the cramps with some pain reliever, hot baths, and heating pads since I typically only get cramps my first day on my period.
I’m here to tell you you don’t have to trade one for the other! Since drinking raspberry tea before AND on my periods I have seen drastic improvement with my emotions as well as cramps!
Let me outline what a typical cycle would look like for me BEFORE drinking raspberry tea
I would start after my period full of life all chipper and ready to be done with the terrible events I had just gone through, leading to the extreme highs during my follicular phase. However, the Leutal phase (typically when PMS starts) is where I would see my head spin around and a whole new Miranda would come out! I would struggle with having extreme thoughts of self-doubt and low self-esteem, crying randomly, getting irritated within one snap of a finger for such stupid reasons, crying some more, acne breakouts, stomach bloating, crying at cute things, restless sleep, hot flashes, sore boobs, not wanting to be around my boyfriend… yeah pretty gnarly PMS right!!!! 😩
All to lead to the cramps of a lifetime, now I am fortunate to say I only got/get cramps and heavy bleeding on my first day but before drinking raspberry tea those cramps were unbearable whereas now I can “function”!
I am so overjoyed to tell you guys you don’t have to live through those symptoms anymore or at least not as strongly!
TOPS 5 WAYS RASPBERRY TEA HAS SAVED MY PERIOD life
- More sense of calm
- Heavy cramping and bleeding went down
- Breast pain decreased
- Acne breakouts diminished to 1 or 2 spots
- Bloating subsided don’t feel like I ate too much food or am 3 months pregnant
Now and before my period, I don’t feel like I hopped on the emotional rollercoaster that I can’t get off. I saw great improvements in my moods and thoughts and didn’t go through the whole crying any second to feeling like my head spun around and angry Miranda came out!
My cramps diminished to a lighter pain instead of being stuck on the couch or in bed I used to also get really bad pain throughout my whole legs and joints now I either don’t get it or it doesn’t last supper long!
The pain I would feel in my boobs lessened and I noticed they don’t seem to “swell” up as much as before, I would have to hold them if I walked down the stairs that’s how much “bigger” and more painful they felt, and I don’t have that big of boobs to begin with!
My acne breakouts oh let me tell you! Acne is something I have been struggling with since junior high and I have seen improvements since I turned 21! But right before my period it never seems to fail OPE (yes I’m from the midwest and yes I did just say ope) there’s a new breakout… or five would appear. Since drinking the raspberry tea though I would maybe see one to two breakouts and they wouldn’t be as bad in terms of leaving a scar or post-redness behind.
I also saw tremendous improvement in my bloating. Before I would feel full all the time and my belly would blow up like a balloon! Now I still do get some bloating but it’s not nearly as bad especially if I am watching my diet and not giving in to all of the period cravings.🍕🍨🍟🍩
If all of these sound like ways you want to improve your life on your period too, then girl go out and get some raspberry tea ASAP!!
I hope you find the same benefits as I did drinking raspberry tea! It’s definitely worth a shot to try out to see if it helps you just as much as it helped me!
You do not have to shut yourself away anymore dealing with all of your emotions and pain on your own. Drink some tea and take back your life!
Periods don’t have to rule over us anymore we are smart, capable, and strong women who go out and deal with all the sh** that men wouldn’t be able to face that we do every single month while still being mothers, still being business women, and still having to cook and clean and everything else!
