“"Does it have the ability to completely change someone's cycle so quickly? I had the tea for 5 days before my period as usually my pain is awful and my cycles last 7-10 days but this period has been completely different. I have barely had any pain in comparison to previous periods but also I have actually barely had a period (sorry for the TMI), but I have done nothing different other than drink the tea and I guess is it possible for the tea to have that much of a powerful effect so quickly?"”

The Gentle Period Herbal Blend

£22.00

The questions every woman asks

The things you're wondering, answered plainly.

Q.Can I take it on hormonal birth control?

No, and we'd rather tell you plainly than lose your trust later. This blend is built for a naturally cycling body, so it isn't recommended alongside the hormonal birth control pill. If that's you, The Calm or The Digestive are the better fit.

Q.When do I actually drink it?

For PMS and flow: daily for the 5 days before your expected period. For enhanced support (PMDD, PCOS, endometriosis): start mid-cycle, just after ovulation, for 10–12 days. Cycle unpredictable? Start on day one of menstruation and drink daily through your period.

Q.I have endometriosis / PCOS / PMDD - is this for me?

This blend was built with you in mind. Our co-founder Hilary lives with adenomyosis, and she formulated it around the herbs European and Ayurvedic traditions have reached for, for centuries, when cycles ran heavy, painful and hard: raspberry leaf, lady's mantle, red clover. Those traditions never knew the words endometriosis or PCOS - they simply knew the woman who dreaded her period, and built a practice around her. It isn't a medicine and it won't replace your specialist - keep them. It's the daily, whole-leaf layer women have always added around the care they receive.

Q.Can I take it with my medication?

As with any new supplement, check with your healthcare professional if you're on medication or managing a condition. The ingredient list is fully published below so you (or your GP) can see exactly what's in it.

Q.I've never heard of The SABI.

We're a UK brand built by two founders who know difficult cycles first-hand - adenomyosis and hormonal migraines shaped every formulation we make.

We firmly believe cycle care is essential to a woman's health and vitality, not something to push through. We collaborate on women's hormone health with practitioners across the UK and we're rated 4.8 by 46 verified buyers.

Q.£22 feels like a lot for tea.

It isn't really tea. This is a high-dose herbal infusion: several grams of whole-leaf herbs per serving, closer to a liquid supplement than a supermarket teabag. That works out to about 55p a cup, less than a fifth of a high-street coffee and naturally caffeine-free. One box lasts roughly a month when cycled, and the 30-day promise means you're not stuck with it, if you aren't happy with it.

Q.Won't it taste medicinal?

The opposite. Earthy and rounded, with a bright, tart lift from the hibiscus - closer to a soft black tea than anything from a pharmacy. Lovely iced or warm, especially on couch days.

Q.Will it actually work?

These are high-dose, whole-leaf botanicals women have used around their cycles for generations. Hot water extracts compounds capsules can't. Everyone responds differently, which is why the 30-day promise exists.

The botanicals

What's inside

Seven whole-leaf herbs, and how herbalism has traditionally used each one.

Ingredients Red Clover · Raspberry Leaf · Lady's Mangle · Oat Straw · Stinging Nettle · Holy Basil · Hibiscus
Red Clovertrifolium pratense . flower

The blossom that sets this blend apart - traditionally classed as an alternative in Western herbalism and long associated with women's cycling years, from first period to last.

Sweet and meadow-soft; rounds the whole cup

Raspberry LeafRubus idaeus . leaf

The signature leaf of the menstrual tradition - traditionally classed as an astringent and taken monthly, for generations, by women whose periods arrive heavy and hard.

Earthy and tannic; the closest note to true tea

Lady's Manglealchemilla vulgaris . aerial parts

Alchemilla, the alchemist's herb - a mainstay of European women's herbalism for centuries, traditionally classed as an astringent and reached for around menstruation.

Gently green and lightly drying; holds the. blend together.

Oat StrawAvena sativa . aerial parts

The green oat, cut before the grain sets - Western herbalism's steadying nervine, traditionally taken through the frayed, short-fuse days before a period.

Soft and hay-sweet; mellows everything around it.

Stinging Nettleurtica dioica . leaf

One of herbalism's great nutritive greens - traditionally taken through the bleeding days, when the body asks for more, its sting lost entirely to hot water.

Deeply green and faintly grassy.

Holy Basilocimum sanctum . leaf . tulsi

Tulsi, 'the incomparable one' - revered in Ayurveda and traditionally taken daily through seasons of strain, including the days each month when everything feels louder.

Warm and clove-like, clarifying on the finish.

HibiscusHibiscus sabdariffa . flower

The deep rose in the cup - traditionally brewed as a cooling infusion across West Africa and the Middle East, here in a small dose, mostly for beauty.

FAQ

What makes The SABI different from regular herbal tea?

The SABI is not regular herbal tea.

SABI blends are functional herbal infusions. They are intentionally formulated with concentrated quantities of whole-leaf botanicals to support specific moments in women’s hormonal lives, including complicated painful periods, digestion, postpartum recovery, breastfeeding support, to overcome stress and troubled sleep.

Every botanical is selected for its traditional use, taste profile, and supporting scientific research. Every herb we use has a scientific study backing up its efficacy and function. Our blends are made to be used consistently, as a meaningful part of how you support your body through changing hormonal needs.

How long does it take to feel a difference?

Every body responds differently.

Some women notice a difference quickly (within hours), while others need more time and consistency. Herbs are active plant compounds. They are best used regularly, giving your body time to respond.

We recommend giving your body 30 days, especially if you are using a blend for cyclical, digestive, postpartum, breastfeeding, stress or sleep support.

Why herbs?

Herbs are one of the oldest ways to work with plants. And hot water infusions remain the gold standard to extract their beneficial compounds.

Across cultures, women have used herbs for generations to support digestion, rest, recovery, milk flow, cycles, mood and the changing demands placed on the body.

At The SABI, we combine this traditional plant knowledge with modern formulation standards, careful ingredient selection and supporting scientific research. We believe deeply in the power of plants, especially when they are used consistently, thoughtfully and in the right context.

Are the SABI products science backed?

Our formulas are developed using botanicals with a long history of traditional use, alongside supporting scientific research on the individual ingredients.

We do not claim that herbs work the same way for every person, and our products are not medicines. But we do formulate carefully, intentionally, and with deep respect for both traditional herbal knowledge and modern evidence.

Each formulation has been developed with input from specialists across herbal medicine, women’s health, microbiology and flavour, including a Master Herbalist, Naturopathic Doctor, Nutritionist, OB-GYN, Microbiologist and Chef.

We are obsessive about ingredient quality and sourcing, because we believe this is one of the most fundamental elements of creating effective, high-integrity products.

If you are a customer and would like to understand more about how our formulations are built, please reach out to one of our founders directly at info@thesabi.co.

Are our products medicines?

No. The SABI products are not medicines and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.

They are functional herbal infusions and skincare products designed to support women through hormonal life stages and everyday changes in the body, including stress, sleep, digestion, breastfeeding, postpartum recovery, cycle changes and skin barrier support.

If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication or managing a medical condition, we always recommend checking with your healthcare practitioner before introducing herbs.

Which product should I start with?

It depends on what your body is asking for.

Choose the Breastfeeding Blend if you are nursing and want herbal support during the physically demanding season of feeding.

Choose Mama Recover if you are postpartum and want to support replenishment, recovery, hormonal shifts, and your return to yourself after birth.

Choose The Calm Blend if you are navigating stress, poor sleep, tension or an overactive nervous system.

Choose the Digestive Blend if you experience bloating, heaviness after meals or digestive discomfort.

Choose the Gentle Period Blend if you want support around your cycle, crippling pains, hormonal migraines, intense cycles, bloating and general unease.

Choose the Active Nutrient Serum if your skin feels reactive, sensitive, stressed, red or prone to hormonal-looking breakouts.

Choose the Prebiotic Moisturiser if your skin barrier feels dry, depleted, sensitive or in need of comfort.

If you are not sure where to start, message us and we’ll help guide you during the process - info@thesabi.co

Can I use more than one SABI blend at once

Yes, many customers use more than one SABI product.

For example, someone postpartum may use Mama Recover and The Calm. A breastfeeding mother may use the Breastfeeding Blend alongside our skincare. Someone with bloating and stress may use Digestive after meals and The Calm in the evening.

For our more concentrated herbal blends, especially when breastfeeding, we recommend using them 3–4 days total per week, rather than every single day.

We also recommend introducing one new blend at a time for a few days so you can understand how your body responds. Always follow the suggested use on each product and avoid exceeding the recommended serving.

Can I drink the blends iced

Yes. All of our blends are delicious warm or iced.

This is especially helpful during warmer months, while breastfeeding, or if you simply prefer a more refreshing way to take herbs consistently.

Brew your infusion first with hot water for 10–15 minutes, then allow it to cool and pour over ice.

Why do your blends taste different from supermarket herbal teas?

They are formulated for function first.

Many supermarket teas are designed mainly for flavour. The SABI blends are created around specific botanicals and the role they play in the formula. We still care deeply about taste (they are chef formulated), but our priority is purpose, quality and consistency.

These are not artificially flavoured teas. The taste comes from the herbs themselves.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Shop Pay, and Union Pay.

How long does shipping take?

Shipping times vary by location. Domestic UK orders typically arrive within 2-3 business days, while international orders may take 5-7 business days.

Do you offer free shipping?

Yes, we offer free shipping depending on the country:

UK: On all orders over £40.

Rest of Europe: No Free Shipping Available.

Can I track my order?

Yes, once your order is shipped, you will receive a tracking number via email. If you have any questions, please email us - info@thesabi.co or whatsapp us through the site.

What is your return policy?

Herbs are one of the oldest ways to work with plants, but every body is different.

We are a small female-led brand, built by two mothers who have lived through hormonal change ourselves. We formulate with care, using botanicals chosen for both their traditional use and their supporting scientific research. We believe deeply in what we make, and we want you to feel confident giving your body time to respond.

Give your body 30 days. If it genuinely isn’t for you, get in touch and we’ll make it right.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes, we ship to all the countries within the European Union and the US. Shipping rates and times will be calculated at checkout.

How do I apply a discount code?

You can enter your discount code at checkout in the designated field. Only one discount code can be used per order.

What should I do if my item arrives damaged due to shipping?

If your item arrives damaged due to a shipping mishap, please contact our customer service team within 48 hours of delivery - info@thesabi.co. We will promptly assist you with a replacement or refund, ensuring you receive your order in perfect condition.
