✨HERBS FOR MENSTRUATION✨I’m SO excited to share this collaboration with the lovely @thehillbillyafrican , writer, herbalist, and practicing doula. Farai has a wealth wisdom to share from baby wearing to down-to-earth eco consciousness. I’ve always admired her realness and practicality when it comes to incorporating herbalism and sustainable mindsets in her own work. She provided all of the written work for this poster, while I worked on the illustrations. Herbs for Menstruation will be available as a print on my Etsy, however the downloadable version will be at her Patreon (link is in Farai’s and my bio). A few other downloadable goodies will be available on her Patreon as well, so it’s definitely worth checking out! . . Herbs provide powerful, tonifying, and nourishing support during and leading up to menstruation. Along with rest, eating nourishing foods, drinks, and gentle self care like face steams, warm rice packs, foot baths, and baths are great ways to support the body. Herbs can be included in all of these practices. From including them in your foods as culinary spices to adding them to your drinks in the forms of infusions, teas, drinking vinegars. You can also sew the herbs like rose into rice packs for the added aromatherapy boost. Take caution, do your own research, consult with your health care provider, and use your own discrection before you begin to use these herbs. Especially if you are on pharmaceuticals, pregnant, or lactating.
