For thousands of years, throughout dozens of cultures, human beings have perceived a powerful and sacred connection with the phases of the moon.

From growing plants and herbs, to fishing, hunting and harvesting, our activities have been utterly dependent on lunar cycles and their effect on the function of the earth’s many resources.

Today, in our modern society, one of the most phenomenal connections that still endures between humans and the moon is through womens’ menstrual cycles. No matter what you believe or where you are in life, it’s impossible to ignore the effect the moon’s movement plays in our menstruation and its intimate dance with pregnancy and childbirth.

Like all the beautiful women out there, the herbs I use in my teas are just as connected to the lunar cycles – sprouting, growing, flowering and fruiting in line with the monthly oscillations of our moon mama as she waxes and wanes. These herbs provide such comfort and support to pregnant and menstruating women that I truly believe they have somehow absorbed the power of the moon to integrate into our cycles, helping us rest, grow, birth and thrive.

This is why I chose the name La Luna Mama. 

As a woman and a mama, the moon symbolises a glowing manifestation of the divine feminine. No matter where it is in the sky, whether it’s new, crescent, gibbous, quarter or full, it’s constantly guiding females all over the world, reminding us all that despite the frenzy and noise of our modern lives, we are and will always be a part of nature’s beautiful, simple rhythm.
