Ayurvedic CCF tea: I find this herbal tea not only healthy, great for digestion and detoxification, but very cooling–great for hot flashes.

Herbal tea for cramps. Anna grows her own herbs and makes her tea blends with deep ayurvedic knowledge. This tea is great if, like me, your cramps have gotten worse in perimenopause. https://annasteahouse.com/products/crampin-my-style
Also try this one for overall period support: https://annasteahouse.com/products/pms-tea?pr_prod_strat=e5_desc&pr_rec_id=d6b45e1c4&pr_rec_pid=5820138979488&pr_ref_pid=5979471282336&pr_seq=uniform
These daily seaweed bites are a natural, whole-food way to supplement your hormone health. I participated in the voluntary trial and can report a boost in energy and metabolism. As for flavor, I recommend the strawberry (but, honestly, they take some getting used to): https://getrootless.com/
I use this magnesium oil on my feet during my bedtime routine and evening practice. https://earthyco.shop/products/novamag-oil-spray™
Alcohol Alternatives
This is my favorite non-alcoholic spirit: https://drinkthepathfinder.com/
Its taste is complex and slightly bitter (in a good way). I pour it over ice with a squeeze of citrus fruit and a splash of club soda. It’s great for those who used to love brown liquors like bourbon. I don’t think it tastes like bourbon; it has its own flavor profile. But it satisfies the craving for something dark and complex and not too sweet. I love it so much I’m on the monthly auto-ship program to keep up with my consumption!
I love this brand of alcohol-free spirits: https://drinkdromme.com/
Both flavors are delicious, and they are made with adaptogens, which help mitigate perimenopause symptoms. You can drink them over ice, or check the website for delicious zero-proof cocktail recipes.
