From the perspective of Traditional Chinese Medicine, 'coldness' of the womb contributes to painful or delayed menstruation, cramping & stagnation of the blood.

This coldness may come from exposure to cold environments without proper protection (it's recommended to always keep your feet, abdomen & head warm), raw foods & cold drinks. 

This balm combines Ginger, a warming circulation stimulant, with Kohekohe, a rongoā that supports the whare tangata (the womb space). Mugwort is another warming herb with antispasmodic qualities that soothes menstrual cramps. 

Rose & Geranium help to balance hormones, as well as connecting to the inner power of the Feminine, softening us to it's needs during moontime. 

Rub this on to alleviate that heavy, bloated feeling during bleeding, or start using in the autumn stage of your cycle (about a week prior to menstruation) if you experience more painful periods.
