Introduction: The Power of the Moon and Menstrual Cycles

Across cultures and centuries, the menstrual cycle has been deeply intertwined with the phases of the moon.
Just as the moon waxes and wanes, so too do our bodies shift through powerful phases each month.

At Aztlan Herbal Remedies, we believe in celebrating and nourishing these natural rhythms with herbal allies that offer comfort, strength, and emotional balance.

Let’s explore sacred tea blends crafted for each phase — reconnecting you with your inner wisdom and divine feminine energy.

Each month, you are offered a chance to realign, replenish, and reawaken.
