Herbal teas and infusions to naturally support menopause

1. Menopause and hot flashes herbal teas: regulate naturally

Hot flashes affect nearly 80% of postmenopausal women. They occur when hormonal fluctuations disrupt body temperature regulation. Several plants stand out:

• Common sage : A key plant for menopause, it has been used since ancient times to reduce excessive sweating and soothe hot flashes. Its natural phytoestrogens gently mimic the action of female hormones.

• Lemon verbena : refreshing and relaxing, it helps calm inner agitation and reduce the feeling of heat.

• Hibiscus : This iced infusion hydrates and provides immediate freshness. Rich in antioxidants, it also helps regulate blood pressure.

Herbalist tip : An infusion combining sage, hibiscus and verbena can be consumed in the afternoon or evening to limit night sweats.

2. Soothing infusions for stress and disturbed sleep

Menopause makes sleep more difficult and stress more intense. Certain plants act as natural relaxants:

• German chamomile : known for its mild sedative properties, it calms the nervous system and makes it easier to fall asleep.

• Lavender : its aromatic compounds soothe tension and reduce anxiety, ideal as an evening herbal tea.

• Lemon balm : a relaxing plant, it acts on irritability, palpitations linked to stress and insomnia.

A chamomile, lemon balm, and lavender herbal tea makes a perfect soothing evening drink. It can replace a glass of wine or an overly stimulating herbal tea like black tea.

3. Broths and infusions to remineralize and protect bones

With menopause, the drop in estrogen leads to a risk of bone demineralization (osteoporosis). Remineralizing broths and infusions are then valuable:

• Nettle : rich in calcium, iron and silica, it strengthens bones and remineralizes the body.

• Rosemary : a stimulating plant that supports the liver and improves digestion, promoting better assimilation of minerals.

• Super Green Organic Broth (broccoli, spirulina, green vegetables) : a recipe rich in antioxidants, chlorophyll and essential minerals, perfect for supporting vitality and compensating for nutritional losses.

Herbalist tip : Add Super Green organic broth to lunch or dinner to remineralize and promote recovery.

4. Circulation and light legs: support venous return

Hormonal fluctuations during menopause can also cause heavy legs , swelling, or edema. Certain herbal infusions improve blood circulation:

• Red vine : rich in anthocyanins, it strengthens the walls of blood vessels and relieves heavy legs.

• Ginkgo biloba : stimulates microcirculation and contributes to tissue oxygenation.

• Meadowsweet : with draining properties, it promotes the elimination of liquids and soothes swelling.

Herbalist tip : a dedicated herbal tea such as the organic infusion L'Élancée or a blend of red vine and hibiscus infusion can be consumed in the afternoon to improve circulation and limit water retention.

5. When should you drink your menopause infusions?

• In the morning : invigorating infusion (rosemary, nettle) to boost energy.

• Afternoon : refreshing infusion (hibiscus, verbena) to limit hot flashes.

• In the evening : soothing herbal tea (chamomile, lemon balm, lavender) and Morphée organic sleep infusion to prepare for sleep.
