If your cycle feels distant, irregular or hard to understand you are not alone. So many women today are seeking their way back to rhythm. These Herbs for women can help guide that return.
The Cycle Was Never Meant to Be Suppressed
Modern culture has taught many of us to fear, ignore or override our cycles. Birth control especially the pill has been used not just for contraception, but to silence symptoms, flatten emotions and press pause on the body’s innate rhythm.
And while it may offer temporary control, the long-term result is often disconnection.
Many women come off the pill years later and find themselves with irregular cycles, missing periods, low libido, acne, fatigue, digestive issues, or mood swings they can’t explain. This is more than a hormonal shift it’s a call to come back. Back to your own body. Back to a rhythm that belongs to you.
Why Honoring the Cycle Matters
Your menstrual cycle is not an inconvenience it’s a compass.
It mirrors the moon, moves in seasons, and gives you signals about your health long before a diagnosis ever does. When we learn to track, support and nourish the cycle, we begin to move in harmony with something ancient and intelligent.
This doesn’t mean every period has to be painless or perfect. It means we stop fighting the rhythm and start listening to it.
How Herbs Help Rebuild Rhythm and Resilience
Many plants have been used for centuries to support women in all phases of life whether bleeding, trying to conceive, postpartum, perimenopausal or simply seeking hormonal balance.
For those coming off hormonal birth control or working with long-term dysregulation, herbs can:
Encourage healthy ovulation and progesterone levels
Support cycle regularity and hormone communication
Soothe cramps, bloating and PMS
Nourish the nervous system and emotional body
Rebuild connection with the womb and heart
This is not a quick fix. It’s a slow reclamation. One that invites softness, patience and nourishment.

Luna Flow is a deeply supportive tea blend crafted for women at any phase of their cyclical journey. Whether you are bleeding, trying to conceive, regulating your cycle, or navigating emotional shifts around your hormonal rhythm this blend is your botanical ally.
It includes a combination of herbs traditionally used to tone the uterus, balance hormones, ease PMS, and support the emotional layers of feminine embodiment.
Herbs in Luna Flow
Raspberry Leaf (Rubus idaeus)A classic uterine tonic. Raspberry leaf strengthens and tones the womb and pelvic tissues, making it especially supportive for menstruating women, those preparing for conception, or in postpartum recovery.
Chaste Tree (Vitex agnus-castus)Vitex supports the pituitary gland, helping to regulate progesterone levels and ease PMS, cycle irregularity, and hormonal acne. Best used over time, especially for those working with long-term cycle imbalances.
Motherwort (Leonurus cardiaca)A strong but loving herb for both the heart and womb. Motherwort helps regulate the menstrual cycle, ease cramps, and soothe emotional intensity — especially anger, grief or overwhelm related to hormonal shifts.
Red Clover (Trifolium pratense)A nourishing blood tonic rich in minerals and phytoestrogens. Red clover gently supports hormonal balance, detox pathways and fertility, while also feeding the body on a deep cellular level.
Lady’s Mantle (Alchemilla vulgaris)Known as the “cloak of the woman,” Lady’s Mantle is deeply connected to the womb and the archetype of the feminine healer. It supports uterine tone, eases heavy bleeding, and helps restore energetic boundaries.
