+ Ingredient Breakdown +
 
Cramp Bark: Just as the name suggests! A powerful herb with anti-spasmodic properties due to coumarin derivative, scopoletin. The astringent nature of Cramp bark helps reduce heavy menstrual bleeding, whilst it's volatile oils help relax + sooth any bodily cramping. Also rich in valerenic acid, producing a mild sedative effect and methyl salicylate which is a weak acting precursor to the salicylic acid that is used in aspirin.
 
Yarrow: Such a magickal plant! Antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory, wonderful for relieving menstrual cramps. An astringent herb that works wonders with matters of blood - it contains the alkaloid achilleine, which facilitates the coagulation of blood, helping slow a heavy period, but also has the ability to stimulate the uterus to initiate menstrual flow. Yarrow is both cooling + warming, normalises opposing conditions + aids in the regulation menstrual flow.
 
St John's Wort: A mood elevating herb containing hypericin and hyperforin. It is known to interact with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), in the same way as serotonergic drugs, by further increasing the serotonin level in the brain. This increased serotonin (also known as the 'happy hormone') helps regulate emotional + mood related symptoms of menstruation.
 
Ginger Essential Oil: Warming + stimulating. Compounds found in Ginger can help relieve inflammation + the body's production of prostaglandins (chemicals that trigger muscle contractions + the shedding of the uturine lining)
 
Clary Sage Oil: Sometimes referred to as 'The Woman's Oil', this healing plant addresses female hormone-related issues, such as anxiety and the blues.
