East Asian medicine understands that during the premenstrual phase, as blood collects in the uterus, the smooth flow of qi, blood, and fluids gets disrupted. Blood nourishes and lubricates our organs, muscles, brain, and joints. When there is not enough good quality blood in circulation, it can cause headaches, fatigue, pain, brain fog, constipation, diarrhea, and insomnia. It can also make for a “brittle liver”- which makes us emotionally and mentally brittle- less supple, bendable, resilient... less able to go with the flow. As the circulation of blood, qi and fluids stagnates, we can experience bloating, swelling, and tenderness throughout our bodies.
When qi stagnates, it can be like being in a psycho-emotional traffic jam. Traffic jams make people pissy, moody, and biatch-y.
This herbal tincture formula promotes hormonal balance and gets things flowing- qi, blood, and fluids so you aren’t backed up and blocked up emotionally or physically (irritability, bloating, digestive issues, breast swelling and tenderness).
