An organic herbal tincture from Moss Medicine with cramp bark, black haw, dong quai, shatavari, white willow bark and chamomile, made for the week before and the week of your period.
Helps with: period cramps, bloating, tender breasts, low-back ache, the mood swings and tears of PMS, and the general feeling of wanting to cancel everything for three days. Helps ease the cramps, bloating and mood swings that come with your period, helps relax tense muscles, and supports a calmer, smoother cycle. Start it a week before you expect symptoms.
Who it's for: Anyone who menstruates and dreads that week. For the rest of the month, Womb Wonder is the daily tonic; Mellow Moon is the one you reach for when the moon turns.
Key ingredients: Cramp bark and black haw, the two herbs named for exactly this, traditionally taken to relax tense muscles. Dong quai, the women's tonic of Chinese tradition. White willow bark, the original source of salicylic acid, traditionally taken for aches. Shatavari and chamomile for mood and calm. In an organic cane alcohol and vegetable glycerin base.
Why we carry it: Small-batch herbal tinctures at the heart of our herbal cabinet, in the Cycle section.
