How We Bleed: Energetic Patterns of Menstruation and Herbal Strategies for Generative Health
For many, the menstrual cycle is a vital sign or indicator species for the energetics of the whole body. In this course we review pattern assessment and supportive strategies for generative/reproductive health including an in-depth review of menstrual cycle physiology, common symptoms, patterns, and experiences of a menstrual rhythm and investigate how to track changes and support balance. We look at herbs and supportive strategies for individualized generative, reproductive, and energetic care.
