Embracing the Luteal Phase
The luteal phase is your body’s natural wind-down period, the transition from the energy of ovulation to the slower, more introspective phase before menstruation. This phase, lasting about 10–14 days, is marked by rising progesterone levels, which encourage rest, relaxation, and preparation for your next cycle.
Tranquil Bloom was crafted to soothe the body and mind, offering hormonal balance, stress relief, and deep relaxation through a thoughtfully blended mix of organic herbs. Sip, unwind, and embrace this phase with ease and comfort.
What Is the Luteal Phase?
The luteal phase occurs after ovulation and before menstruation, bringing changes to both body and mood:
-
Progesterone rises, promoting relaxation but also leading to PMS symptoms in some individuals.
-
Energy levels decrease, making it an ideal time for slower movement and self-care.
-
Cravings, mood swings, and bloating may appear, as the body prepares for menstruation.
Supporting this phase with nutrient-rich foods, hydration, and herbal support can help ease symptoms and enhance well-being.
The Herbal Science Behind Tranquil Bloom
Each herb in Tranquil Bloom was carefully chosen to reduce stress, balance hormones, and promote relaxation during the luteal phase:
-
Chasteberry (Vitex) – Helps regulate progesterone levels and ease PMS symptoms, supporting overall hormonal balance. Studies suggest that chasteberry can reduce irritability, mood swings, and bloating associated with PMS.
-
Chamomile – Soothes the nervous system, reduces stress, and promotes restful sleep. Research has shown that chamomile contains apigenin, a compound that binds to receptors in the brain, encouraging relaxation and reducing anxiety.
-
Lavender – Known for its calming effects, lavender helps ease anxiety and tension. Clinical studies have demonstrated that lavender aromatherapy and ingestion can improve sleep quality and lower stress levels.
-
Ginger Root – Supports digestion, reduces bloating, and has anti-inflammatory properties to combat PMS discomfort. Research highlights ginger's ability to reduce menstrual pain and nausea.
-
Cinnamon – Provides a warming sensation while helping to balance blood sugar levels and cravings. Studies indicate that cinnamon may help with insulin sensitivity, which can stabilize mood and energy.
-
Vanilla Bean Powder – Adds a smooth, comforting flavor while offering antioxidant properties that support relaxation and mood stability.
-
Lemon Balm – Helps reduce anxiety, uplift mood, and encourage relaxation. Research has found that lemon balm can improve cognitive function and reduce symptoms of stress.
-
Hibiscus – Rich in antioxidants and beneficial for cardiovascular health while adding a vibrant, floral note. Studies suggest hibiscus may help lower blood pressure and reduce inflammation.
By formulating Tranquil Bloom with these ingredients, we’ve created a calming and restorative blend that nurtures both body and mind during this phase.
