Our loose-leaf Waxing Moon Tea aims for stimulating detoxifaction & enhancing energy with herbs that support the production of estrogen; all while providing hormonal balance during days 7-13/14 of your cycle-the follicular phase!

Your follicular phase starts around day 7/8 of your cycle- it is generally the first week after your menstrual phase. Your pituitary gland releases a hormone called follicle stimulating hormone(FSH), which stimulates follicles(containing egg) in one of the ovaries to mature. This causes a rise in the hormones estrogen, serotonin, and testosterone:

  • Estradiol levels increase by more than 800% over 3-4 days
  • Testosterone levels increase by roughly 150% over 6-8 days

This is your "inner spring". Your internal body temperature stays lower following menstruation, but the rise in hormone levels cause a raise in energy, libido, brain function, and mood. Confidence increases, causing a generally more happy, outgoing, and energetic mood- my favorite of all 4 phases!

Towards the end of this phase, a surge in LH starts to induce ovulation and is generally when libido is highest! You can manage cycle phases by syncing up the herbs you use, foods you eat, ways you move your body, & the activities you engage in! Follow @thecyclicalherbalist for more info on cycle-syncing.
