The plants used within this collection will work to enhance a stable mood, and reduce menstrual pain or fatigue, enabling a woman to actively take care in her well-being through a simple, accessible guide. The herbalist behind this collection spent years working through its conception and curation, with the idea to create a loftier, softer space for a woman to experience and nourish her body throughout its cycles and seasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhich brings us to the heroines of this plant story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen it comes to female health, Lady's Mantle becomes a very likely advocate. This gentle, wonderfully-embracing plant, takes care to balance female hormones. She is traditionally known to support women during hormonal changes throughout her cycles, to support the health of the female reproductive organs, and the well-being of the ovaries, womb and vagina. Our second protagonist, coming from the Artemesia family, is Mugwort. In mythical fables, this plant belongs to a kin of plants guarded by the Greek goddess Artemisia, under the governance of the Moon. As a woman may find a tightly knitted connection with the moon through her cycle, this plant comes as a natural ally for this time of the month. Mugwort is commonly used to improve menstrual flow and to ease cramping pains as it stimulates blood flow in the pelvic area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe other two main plants within this collection are graceful Rose and motherly Chamomile.

While some modern lubricants are water or silicon based - which can be a cause for inner skin issues - traditional herbalism commonly used oils to treat genital infections.

Its non-comedogenic nature and anti-inflammatory properties make it a gentle choice for sensitive skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lubricant's base is cold-pressed sunflower oil that is rich in vitamin A and E. These vitamins are beneficial for skin’s health and toning, and provide strong antioxidant protection, helping to neutralise free radicals that can damage skin cells. Sunflower oil is rich in linoleic acid, which helps maintain the skin's natural barrier and keeps it hydrated, while its emollient properties make it an excellent choice for moisturising delicate internal skin areas, helping to prevent dryness and irritation. Sunflower oil is also non-comedogenic, meaning it does not clog pores. This is particularly important for maintaining the health of sensitive internal skin areas, reducing the risk of irritation or infection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLong infused in the oil is Lady’s Mantle, contributing to and supporting the hormonal balance and well-being of the female organs. This plant’s anti-microbial and astringent properties have made it a likely proponent for gynaecological health and relief from infections. The heartening Calendula is softening to your skin, while supporting the yoni’s health through its anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties.
