A Monthly Herbal Tincture of Cramp Bark, Raspberry Leaf & Ginger
Menstrual Support Tincture is a concentrated herbal tincture for the days before and during a period. Cramp bark, raspberry leaf and rose are blended with skullcap, lemon balm, chamomile, ginger and nettle, made as a whole-herb liquid extract.
The Herbs
Menstrual Support Tincture brings together three groups of herbs traditionally used through the monthly cycle. Womb herbs relax cramping muscles and support healthy pelvic circulation. Calming herbs ease the tension and mood changes of the cycle. A mineral-rich herb replenishes what is lost. Together they make a blend for greater comfort in the days before and during a period.
For the Womb
Cramp Bark (Viburnum opulus): A traditional remedy used to relax the smooth muscles of the womb, easing the intensity of the contractions behind period cramps.
Raspberry Leaf (Rubus idaeus): A traditional womb tonic, whose tannins help tone the uterine wall and manage heavy flow.
Rose (Rosa damascena): Traditionally used to support healthy pelvic circulation and soothe cramping, while helping with period-related stress and mood swings.
Ginger (Zingiber officinale): A warming circulatory herb that supports healthy blood flow, easing pelvic congestion and inflammatory discomfort.
For Calm and Mood
Skullcap (Scutellaria lateriflora): Traditionally used to nourish the nervous system, easing tension, agitation and the mood shifts of the cycle.
Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis) & Chamomile (Matricaria recutita): A complementary pair that soothes digestion, eases tension headaches, lifts the mood and calms period-related anxiety.
To Replenish
Nettle Leaf (Urtica dioica): Naturally rich in iron, magnesium and calcium, traditionally used to replenish minerals during menstruation.
Why a Tincture?
Unlike tablets or capsules, a liquid tincture delivers whole-herb extracts in a form that is readily absorbed and easy to fit into a daily routine.
Each batch of Menstrual Support Tincture is made by slowly extracting the whole herbs, drawing out and preserving a broad spectrum of their natural compounds, including volatile oils and phytonutrients. The finished tincture captures the full character of each plant.
