  • 🌖 Waning Moon Tea — Luteal Phase

    As the moon begins to wane, the body turns inward once again—preparing for release and rest. The Waning Moon Tea honors the luteal phase, the inner autumn of your cycle. After ovulation, progesterone rises to stabilize and soothe, while estrogen slowly declines. This blend is crafted to balance hormones, calm the nervous system, and ease the emotional and physical fluctuations that can arise as your body transitions toward menstruation. It invites steadiness, warmth, and grounded reflection.

    Vitex (chaste tree) berries work gently with the pituitary gland to support healthy progesterone levels, helping to regulate the luteal phase and reduce PMS symptoms such as mood shifts, bloating, and breast tenderness. Its balancing effect helps maintain equilibrium between estrogen and progesterone as your hormones naturally descend.

    Ashwagandha, a nourishing adaptogen, strengthens the adrenals and moderates cortisol, easing tension and fatigue often felt in this premenstrual window. By supporting the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian (HPO) axis, it stabilizes both mood and hormone production, creating a sense of inner steadiness.

    Schisandra berries offer multi-layered support—toning the liver for optimal hormone metabolism while enhancing resilience, mental clarity, & endurance. Their adaptogenic nature smooths the hormonal transitions of this phase, especially when energy begins to wane.

    Motherwort is a quintessential herb for the luteal phase—soothing uterine tension, calming emotional turbulence, & supporting gentle progesterone balance. Its name meaning “lion-hearted” as it eases anxiety and irritability, offering comfort to both the heart and womb.

    Nettle leaf replenishes vital minerals lost through hormonal fluctuations, fortifying the blood and supporting adrenal health to maintain energy and emotional balance. Cinnamon bark and ginger root rekindle warmth & circulation, reduce inflammation, and balance blood sugar—helping to stabilize mood and cravings as the cycle winds down.

    Finally, dried apple lends a touch of sweetness and grounding nourishment—symbolic of autumn’s harvest and the invitation to slow down and savor what has been cultivated.
