What herbs can help bring your bleed on? This is a question I've been asked in so many ways over the years.

Honestly probably one of the most common. And we ALL deserve access to this information. Especially in these... turbulent times.

I'm not talking abortifacients, I'm talking when you are still in your luteal phase and would be expecting your menstruation in days or weeks.

THIS is the most effective time to be working with herbs. And today's episode is a medley speaking to three key herbs to consider working with for this reason.

While these snippets are not purely focused on contraception, they all speak to how these herbs work on multiple systems and in more than one way.

Herbs are dynamic, and often have a handful or even dozens of relevant actions. Which is why matching plants to people is a practice. It's not just "this herb for that thing" but how and when and why and who. 

If you're curious to learn a little more about mugwort, wild carrot or motherwort, this episode is perfect for you.
