Keeping Your Womb Warm This Winter: Honoring the Full Moon and Womb Health

One area that particularly benefits from warmth is the womb. Wise women rooted in the cycles of nature have long understood the importance of keeping the womb warm, especially in the colder months. A cold womb can lead to stagnation, painful menstruation, PMS, and other period-related imbalances. Let’s explore why womb warmth matters and how you can cultivate it through herbs, food, breath, and intentional practices this winter.

Everywhere you look on social media, podcasts, and wellness ads, you see the phrase “balance your hormones.” It sounds great, but here’s the truth: your hormones aren’t something to be controlled or “fixed.” They’re part of a living, breathing, ever-changing system within you.

Your body is not broken. It’s wise. It’s rhythmic. And when given the right nourishment, your hormones naturally move toward balance on their own. What we’re really seeking isn’t “hormone balancing”; it’s...

The intricacies of the human body are almost magical, with no one system or function working entirely on its own. Within a mother’s body, the processes that lead to menstruation, pregnancy, birth, and breastfeeding are all interconnected. Just a handful of hormones can dictate each of these functions, with different organs and actions responding in their own way. A fascinating and, sometimes, bewildering example of this is the relationship between menstruation and breastfeeding.

The menstrual cycle is a beautifully intricate process that reflects the body's natural rhythms. It consists of four distinct phases, each requiring different types of nourishment and support. Understanding these phases and working with herbal allies can help create balance, ease discomfort, and optimize overall well-being.

In this post, we explore distinct herbs for each phase of the menstrual cycle. Read more to better understand each phase and to connect even more deeply with your natural feminine rhythms.

 In this blog, we explore the transformative journey of menopause and offer insights on preparing for this phase of life. I will highlight and emphasize the importance of understanding menopause as a gradual process rather than a sudden event involving hormonal changes leading to various symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and more.

We explore and seek to change the cultural perception of menopause, challenging the negative stereotypes associated with this powerful time in a woman's life.

I will share a holistic approach to menopause preparation, incorporating herbal remedies, mindfulness practices, and nourishing habits by providing specific suggestions, such as spending time in nature, practicing meditation, incorporating Qigong movements, consuming nourishing herbal teas, black cohosh, and using adaptogenic herbs like Ashwagandha and Tulsi.

Plus, I give a DIY recipe that you can blend yourself to cool and alleviate hot flashes and night sweats.
