Menstruation is not a sickness but a sign of health and life. It is a call to balance in our busy lives, a time to honour inward energy and to nurture the self and the reproductive system.
This nutritious and comforting tea helps to replenish mineral stores during menstruation, and reduce and relieve pain and discomfort associated with menstrual cramps.
Together with the Moon Cycle Bliss herbal bath, it is a way to acknowledge the monthly rhythm of life, promote rest and self-nurture, and bless our daughters and young women to value and honour their bodies and life rhythms.
And ourselves!
