While every woman’s menopause journey is unique—and this is not medical advice—many find natural relief through herbal teas.
Our wise grandmothers likely understood the natural power of a warm cup of herbal tea. In fact, my grandma would mix honey in her mug of health. She knew tea was good for menopause. These wise and beautiful women likely used herbs to naturally support women’s health, especially during menstrual cycles and menopause. These wise traditions are now backed by science—and more women are turning to this natural wisdom. Let's dive into what herbs you should buy to relieve menopause symptoms:
1. Hot Flashes and Night Sweats
- Sage Tea: Known for its natural cooling effects, sage may reduce both the frequency and intensity of hot flashes and night sweats.
- Peppermint Tea: Contains menthol, which cools the body and helps alleviate heat surges. It also a yummy way to ease headaches, which can accompany hormonal shifts.
2. Insomnia
- Chamomile Tea: Long celebrated for its calming properties, chamomile helps reduce anxiety and improves sleep quality.
- Lavender Tea: Known for easing tension, lavender helps the body relax and encourages deeper, more restorative sleep.
These two teas are both so lovely and can be part of a relaxing nighttime ritual to promote calm, emotional balance, and deeper rest. However, if you want a fun blend, we have something for you. At Bright Peace LLC we have our own formulated herbal menopause tea evening blend. We love it and think it smells and tastes delicious.
3. Supporting Bone Health
- Rooibos Tea: This caffeine-free tea is rich in calcium, magnesium, and fluoride—essential minerals for strong bones and teeth. A cup of rooibos is a delicious way to support your bones naturally.
4. Managing Stress, Anxiety, and Mood Swings
- Lemon Balm Tea: A calming herb that supports the nervous system, reduces anxiety, and boosts mood.
- Passionflower Tea: Traditionally used to ease stress and calm the mind. It helps restore emotional equilibrium and reduce anxious feelings.
At Bright Peace, our daytime menopause tea blend was created to support mood and focus while providing a natural, caffeine-free energy boost.
These teas offer gentle support for emotional well-being during menopause and can be part of your daily self-care ritual.

5. Boosting Digestive Health
- Ginger Tea: Known for its anti-inflammatory properties, ginger soothes digestion, eases bloating, and improves circulation. It's a warming, versatile tea for overall wellness. I adore warm ginger tea with honey.
6. Improving Heart Health
