Cycle Syncing with Botanicals

What are Hormones?

Hormones are chemical messengers and they are the driving force behind nearly every process in your body. 

 

The three major sex hormones that play a key role in the menstrual cycle and overall reproductive health are: estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.

Your Cycle

Your menstrual cycle isn’t just about your period—it’s a monthly rhythm driven by hormonal shifts. Here’s what’s happening in each phase:

Menstrual Phase (Days 1-6)

Estrogen and progesterone are at their lowest levels, triggering the shedding of the uterine lining. Your body is in a state of rest and renewal as it prepares for a new cycle.

Follicular Phase (Days 7-10) 

Estrogen begins to increase, stimulating follicle growth in the ovaries and thickening the uterine lining. Energy, mood, and motivation naturally start to rise.

Ovulatory Phase (Days 11-14) 

Estrogen peaks, and testosterone surges, triggering ovulation (the release of an egg). This is when you feel strongest, most confident, and most magnetic.

Early Luteal Phase (Days 15-19) 

Progesterone rises, preparing the body for a possible pregnancy. Estrogen dips slightly but then rises again, supporting mood and metabolism.

Late Luteal Phase (Days 20-24)

Progesterone remains high, while estrogen begins to decline. You may feel calmer, more introspective, or experience PMS symptoms as hormone levels shift.

Pre-Menstruation (Days 25-28) 

Estrogen and progesterone sharply decline, triggering PMS symptoms like mood swings, bloating, and cravings. This drop signals the body to start a new cycle.

How To Cycle Sync:

1. Track Your Cycle: Know which phase you’re in and get started drinking the corresponding blend. Continue with one cup per day until you complete that box. Then, begin again!

2. Be Consistent: The benefits of herbs accrue over time.

3. Tune into your body and notice the changes from improved hormonal balance that begin to unfold as you begin your journey!

When your hormones are in sync, all month long you feel:

  • Energized
  • Emotionally stable
  • Well-rested
  • Balanced
  • Clear headed
  • Painless, regular periods

But when they’re out of sync, it can lead to:

  • Fatigue
  • Mood swings
  • Irregular cycles
  • Cramps, breakouts
  • Difficulty sleeping
  • Long term, it can lead to chronic fatigue, weight gain, and infertility

Support Your Body’s Natural Processes:

For example, when estrogen increases in the first half of your cycle, red clover supports this increase by providing phytoestrogens, a plant compound that mimic estrogens. But when estrogen decreases in the second half of your cycle, dandelion root supports the liver in eliminating excess estrogen, helping to ease bloating and PMS symptoms.
