The Rituals

THE RITUALS

A harmonized menstrual cycle invites experiences of heightened intuition, creativity, lucidity, restoration, and cleansing. These experiences, however, can be clouded by imbalances which manifest through physical, mental, and emotional discomfort. Our herbal allies assist in dissolving this mist, allowing the clarity within us to emerge.

Each botanical blend is intentionally created to harmonize the hormonal dance that influences our mind-body experience, and the way we listen, respond, and exist in this world.
