I like to think of this as a nourishing, grounding, balancing "hot cocoa". This is not exclusive to people who experience hormonal fluctuations, but it is definitley made with them in mind. From personal experience, the anxiety and restlessness that can come from hormonal changes can be tough to manage. It takes an emotional and physical toll on the body. Through my Endometriosis diagnosis and management, I have experimented with different natural remedies to soothe my mind and body during such tumutuous and painful times. Though it is definitely not a cure or treatment in any way, this blend makes me feel comforted and grounded. Raw cacao is very nourishing and rich in minerals, while maca root is known for its hormone-balancing properites. Cinnamon and ginger add cozy flavor and aid in fighting inflammation and nausea. Each packet comes with a card that details the benefits of the ingredients (and of course, a disclaimer that informs consumers I am NOT a doctor/medical professional, nor am I claiming this to be used as part of medical treatment). This blend means so much to me. Portion of proceeds will be donated to organizations aiding in period poverty and equal access to menstruation essentials.
