This article explores the growing market for women's wellness teas and examines whether these teas are genuinely beneficial for women or simply a marketing strategy. The popularity of functional beverages, particularly in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, has led to increased consumer interest in wellness teas specifically catered towards women. Companies like HotTea Mama and Herbs & Kettles have developed tea products to support different stages of women's reproductive life. While some medical professionals express concerns about women relying on alternative therapies, many women use herbal teas alongside medical interventions or as a last resort when traditional medicine fails to address their needs. Scientific studies have shown that certain herbs used in women's wellness teas, such as German chamomile, rosehip, and spearmint, can provide health benefits. However, it is important for companies to balance scientific evidence with traditional and anecdotal uses. The market for women's wellness teas is expected to continue growing as consumers seek products that improve their health and well-being. [Extracted from the article]
