Our Menstrual Balm is a portable, natural remedy for easing period-related cramps, bloating and pelvic tension — providing comforting support whenever you need it.
Formulated with warming, antispasmodic herbs such as cramp bark, ginger and Jamaica dogwood, this blend helps promote circulation and ease muscle tightness. Peppermint, clary sage and lavender essential oils offer soothing aromatherapy that enhances comfort and relaxation.
The nourishing jojoba, coconut and castor oil base absorbs smoothly and softens the skin without residue. Simply massage a small amount onto your lower abdomen whenever discomfort arises — at home, at work or on the go.
Jojoba Oil
Jojoba oil is a gentle, nurturing oil that closely resembles the skin’s natural oils. Known for its silky, fast-absorbing texture, it helps keep the skin soft, moisturised, and comfortable. Its naturally occurring antioxidants, including vitamin E, make it a soothing choice for tender skin during the menstrual cycle.
Coconut Oil
Cold-pressed extra virgin coconut oil brings a soft, comforting richness to the balm. Traditionally appreciated for its nourishing and protective qualities, it helps maintain skin softness and moisture, providing a smooth, soothing base.
Castor Oil
Castor oil has a long history of use in traditional wellness rituals thanks to its warm, softening character. Its comforting, velvety texture makes it a popular choice for abdominal self-massage practices used during the menstrual cycle.
Cramp Bark
Cramp bark is a classic herb in Western herbalism, traditionally included in blends that accompany women’s cycles. Known for its calming, comforting nature, it lends a grounding, soothing presence to the formula.
Jamaica Dogwood Herb
Jamaica dogwood has been used for generations in traditional herbal care for its deeply relaxing character. It is often chosen during times when the body calls for gentle comfort and steady calm.
Chamomile
Chamomile is cherished for its serene, peaceful qualities. It brings a sense of gentle relaxation and ease and offers a soothing floral aroma that supports emotional comfort throughout the cycle.
Rose Petals
Rose is known for its cooling, calming and uplifting character. Its soft floral presence nurtures emotional harmony and provides a sense of ease and comfort during menstruation.
Rosemary Essential Oil
Rosemary adds a bright, clarifying herbal aroma. Traditionally used in massage blends, it brings a refreshing, invigorating quality that enhances the balm’s sensory experience.
Clary Sage Essential Oil
Clary sage is a favourite in herbal aromatherapy for women’s wellness. Its warm, soothing scent supports feelings of relaxation and emotional steadiness during the menstrual cycle.
Peppermint Essential Oil

Lavender Essential Oil
Lavender is widely loved for its calming, settling aroma. Known for encouraging relaxation, it helps create a peaceful, soothing moment during your cycle.
Candelilla Wax
A plant-based alternative to beeswax, candelilla wax provides a smooth, stable texture that allows the balm to glide easily over the skin. Its naturally protective nature helps lock in moisture while keeping the formula fully vegan.

To enhance the benefits of our Menstrual Balm:
-
Cycle Awareness: Tracking your menstrual cycle can offer insights into mood changes, energy levels, and physical symptoms. This understanding can enable you to tailor self-care strategies to different phases of your cycle.
-
Gentle Exercise: Movement can alleviate menstrual cramps and promote endorphin release, which acts as a natural painkiller. Activities such as yoga, walking, or swimming can be particularly beneficial during menstruation.
-
Nutrition Focus: A diet rich in essential fatty acids, magnesium, and B vitamins can help mitigate menstrual symptoms. Prioritise foods like:
Leafy greens (for iron and magnesium)
Nuts and seeds (for magnesium and essential fatty acids)
Pulses and whole grains (for B vitamins and sustained energy)
Dark chocolate (for magnesium and mood enhancement)
-
Limit Processed Foods: Reduce the intake of processed foods, caffeine, and sugars which can exacerbate bloating and mood swings.
-
Mindful Relaxation: Engage in practices that ground and centre you. Meditation, deep breathing exercises, or even journaling can provide emotional relief and clarity.
-
Hydration: Water supports the body's natural processes, including detoxification. Drinking herbal teas, such as our Menstrual Support Tea, or simply chamomile or ginger tea, can also alleviate menstrual discomfort.
-
Warmth: Using a warm compress or heating pad on the abdomen can provide immediate relief from cramps.
-
Limit Stress: Chronic stress can exacerbate menstrual symptoms. Aim to find healthy outlets for stress, be it through hobbies, relaxation techniques, or spending time in nature.
-
Sleep: Ensure adequate sleep, as fatigue can amplify menstrual discomfort and mood swings.
