The first day of your period can feel like an emotional and physical rollercoaster. Mood swings, cramps, fatigue, and that general sense of heaviness can make it tempting to curl up and disconnect. But this time of the month doesn’t have to feel like a battle, instead it can become a gentle ritual of self-care, nourishment, and balance.
One of our favorite and most soothing ways to support your body on day one of the cycle is through flowers & herbal tea. Nature offers a variety of botanicals that ease discomfort, uplift the mood, and help your body reset naturally.
Oil Divine's Recipe
This natural tea blend is designed from us to comfort your body from within — supporting circulation, reducing bloating, and calming the nervous system. It’s simple, beautiful, and full of life-giving energy. It's our favorite, and we personally love and use it all the time.
Here’s what you’ll need:
1.Red Dates (Jujube): Traditionally used in Eastern wellness rituals, red dates are known to help replenish Qi (energy) and nourish the blood — both essential after the onset of menstruation. They also add a subtle sweetness that balances the blend perfectly.
2.Hibiscus: This vibrant crimson flower supports healthy circulation and helps reduce bloating and water retention. It’s also rich in antioxidants that promote detoxification and hormone balance, making it ideal for those first few days of your period.
3.Organic Butterfly Pea: A calming blue flower that supports relaxation and helps ease stress and anxiety. Known for its vivid indigo color, Organic Butterfly Pea Tea from Oil Divine is pure, organic, and naturally caffeine-free — perfect for helping your body unwind.
4.Organic Rosebuds: These delicate petals aren’t just beautiful — they’re therapeutic. Rose helps relax the uterus, improve digestion, and soothe emotional tension. Sip rose tea to invite a sense of calm, balance, and inner harmony. Try our Organic Rosebuds for an aromatic, heart-opening touch.
5.Goji Berries: These bright berries are rich in antioxidants and vitamins that help boost energy, mood, and immunity. They lend a natural sweetness and pair beautifully with red dates and rose.

1.In a teapot, combine:
-2–3 dried red dates
-1 teaspoon hibiscus petals
-1 teaspoon organic butterfly pea flowers
