Moon Time Rituals: Self-Care for Your Cycle
Honoring your moon time with a warm soak, a slow massage and a little extra care.
Reviewed by Jessica Flowers, Certified Clinical Herbalist
At Moon Mother, we’re passionate about the role hemp can play in daily life, from farming and biodiversity to self-care. And as a woman-owned company, supporting women’s wellbeing is close to our hearts, including during your moon time, otherwise known as your period.
No two days of your cycle are the same, but a few consistent rituals can help you feel cared for through all of them. Here’s how we make CBD part of our moon time routine.
A quick word on CBD
CBD, or cannabidiol, is a naturally occurring compound from the hemp plant. It isn’t psychoactive and doesn’t produce the “high” associated with THC. Research into CBD and the menstrual cycle is still in its early days, so we think of our products as part of a comforting self-care ritual, not a treatment.
Our moon time rituals
A warm, slow soak
Warm water is one of the oldest comforts there is. Add our CBD Ritual Bath, with Dead Sea and pink Himalayan salts, whole plant hemp, herbs and essential oils, and let the salts melt into the water as you settle in. It’s a lovely addition to your evening routine.
A gentle massage
Massaging a balm into your belly and lower back with slow, circular movements is a luxurious way to take a moment for yourself. The lavender and chamomile notes of our Wise Woman Comfort Balm leave you feeling comforted and cared for.
Intimate self-care
Our Intimacy Oil can be part of your moon time self-care too, enjoyed alone or with a partner. It’s oil-based, so don’t use it with latex condoms.
Your daily tincture
Many women like to keep their daily CBD tincture routine going through every phase of their cycle, as a steady moment of calm for themselves.
If your periods are very painful, or your symptoms get in the way of daily life, talk with your healthcare provider. Painful periods can have causes that deserve a closer look.
Our commitment
The CBD industry is dominated by men, and we’re proud to be woman-owned. We’re dedicated to women’s wellbeing, and our Wise Woman products were created by our herbalist founder with every phase of the month in mind.
