Body oil and balms are most often used during the days leading up to menstruation and throughout the menstrual phase. Applied through lower-belly or lower-back massage, they support warmth, circulation, and embodied ease. Slow, consistent use tends to feel more supportive than occasional application.
Teas and elixirs provide internal, daily support and suggested to be used during key phases of the cycle or when the body feels out of balance. Both work best as a steady, repeatable habit during the premenstrual phase or menstruation - rather than something taken only when discomfort peaks.
You don’t need to use everything at once. Many people combine teas or elixirs for internal support with oils for external comfort, adjusting use based on what the body needs at different moments of the cycle..
The intention is not to “fix” the cycle, but to support it gently over time. Start simply, observe how your body responds across one or more cycles, and adjust your use accordingly.
