Could brewing a pot of loose-leaf tea assist with your hormone imbalances and support your motherhood journey and beyond? According to nutritionist and mum of three, Kathleen Alleaume, T2 Tea’s new Wellness range could be your new favourite natural supplement to enjoy at all hours of the day.

We know hormonal imbalances and fluctuations are commonly experienced by women throughout their lifetime often contributing to a cascade of unsettling symptoms such as hot flashes, mood swings and cognitive fatigue. Sound familiar?

“Habitual tea drinkers or regular consumption of tea has been shown to support optimal according to scientific studies,” says Nutritionist Kathleen Alleaume. If you’re like the 80 per cent of Australians who consider keeping themselves and their families healthy a top priority, this is welcome news for tea lovers and depleted mums.

The ritual of savouring a cup of humble tea for therapeutic and hormonal support is nothing new. For centuries, tea has been consumed across global cultures for its polyphenol or flavonoid-rich medicinal benefits.

“The phytonutrients found in an array of herbal ingredients used in quality tea blends when combined with a healthy eating pattern and lifestyle including adequate sleep, may positively impact the body, both physically and mentally, supporting balance, calm and resilience for optimal wellbeing during what can be a stressful time in a woman’s life,” says Alleaume.

Herbal tea ingredients like Shatavari, often referred to as the “Queen of Herbs”, has been praised in Ayurvedic medicine for its powerful effects on regulating hormones and relieving dreaded symptoms such as hot flashes.

In addition to Shatavari, honeybush delivers beneficial phytoestrogens while the bioactive compounds in gotu kola help naturally promote healthy-looking skin, hair, and nails. Coined the “Herb of Longevity”, gotu kola may also help boost your brain function and support your body to cope with life’s daily stressors whether that’s working to a tight deadline or chasing after energetic toddlers.

The combination of these herbs, along with rooibos, rosehip, cinnamon, beetroot, liquorice root, passionflower and raspberry, create a refreshingly earthy taste with subtle hints of sweetness that tantalises your tastebuds.
