Tea made from berries and leaves of raspberries, strawberries and rose hips is rich in phytoestrogens: it is prepared and drunk like any tea.

Do not forget about lifestyle, nutrition and water - you should eat natural and fresh products, drink only clean water, walk in the fresh air at any time of the year and do not let stress destroy the most precious thing: the health and beauty of women.
