The Monthly Herbal

Fern Ashwood

Cramps arrive on their own schedule, and so does the fog that comes with them. This is a working guide to plants that have long been used for cycle comfort: which herbs ease cramping, which support steadier mood through the month, how to prepare them as teas or tinctures, and how to build a simple routine around your own pattern instead of fighting it. Grounded, gentle, and made for real months, not perfect ones.
