꩜ Ceremonial Cacao is a superfood and is packed with nutrients to support your Womb especially during menstruation. Cacao is one of the richest food sources of Magnesium. Magnesium supports Brain function, the Heart increases overall vigour of the heart muscle helping to lower blood pressure. Helps to soothe our nervous system (especially supportive to those healing PTSD or experienced trauma). Magnesium relaxes muscles reducing menstrual cramping by relaxing the uterus. Helping in reducing PMS symptoms by regulating the hormone progesterone responsible for PMS. When we are loosing blood through menstruation it is a great undertaking for our body and we are loosing Iron by releasing blood, Cacao contains iron as well as other essential minerals to support us during moontime.

꩜ organic Ashwagandha powder, helps to regulate menstrual cycle and balance hormones. Full of antioxidants for skin health, balancing blood sugar, supporting to relieve anxiety and stress. Helps to reduce inflammation and support the female body.

꩜ Rose is a beautiful heart opening ally paired perfectly with Cacao to invoke divine feminine energies. Rose is used in many ancient healing ceremonies and ancient practices especially when to comes to the divine feminine and the womb. The Red rose symbolises the beauty and power of our womb and our divine monthly cycle and is closely linked the planet Venus.

꩜ Nettle is a incredible nutrient dense herb, perfect for the feminine as this herb can replenish the minerals lost when we bleed. She is high in vitamins A, C, K, and some B vitamins, as well as antioxidants and minerals such as iron, magnesium, calcium phosphorus, potassium, and sodium. Ultimate herb for reproductive system.

꩜ As a uterine tonic, Raspberry Leaf is hard to beat. Used for millennia to support women throughout their reproductive lives, Raspberry Leaf contains a plant alkaloid known as fragarine which has been found to simultaneously tone and relax the uterine muscle which helps to balance the muscular action of the uterus.

It also has astringent properties which work together with fragarine to help tighten and tone the uterine and pelvic muscles. This action can help to alleviate menstrual cramping, excessive bleeding.

꩜ Cacao also contains an amazing blend of molecules that boost our mood, to feel more pleasure and reduced pain during menstruation and throughout our cycle. Cacao contains Tryptophan which increases Serotonin the happy molecule in our brains lifting our mood. She also contains an incredible molecule named Anandamide, the bliss molecule. Anandamide is a endogenic cannabinoid (the only one found in another plant that is not cannabis!) which is a neurotransmitter that works with the same structures at THC (the active ingredient in cannabis). Anandamide is released when we feel good, experience pleasure, it increases motivation, forms new nerve cells and increases pain threshold. It is also an antidepressant and relieves anxiety. The name comes from Sanskrit word ‘Ananda’ meaning joy, bliss and happiness.

꩜ She contains Phenylethlamine, the love molecule which is also found in blue algae and MDMA. This stimulates the feelings of being in love. Increasing endorphin levels, reducing pain, mitigate stress, promoting feelings of wellbeing and euphoria.

꩜ Ever wondered why we crave chocolate when bleeding? The reason for this is because, when we begin to bleed our Serotonin levels drop and our insulin begins to increase. At the same time, a drop in progesterone and oestrogen production makes you more hungry than usual, especially for comfort food. This leaves us craving mood boosting foods such as chocolate to combat this shift, Cacao contains healthy fat in the form of Cacao Butter along with mood boosting molecules and is nutrient dense. Working with this medicine during your moon time is very supportive and delicious!
