LEAFLINE BOTANICALS: AN ORIGIN STORY

​

I love the ritual of tea and the sensory experiences that go along with it:

• smelling the plants and spices

• watching the water infuse with color

• of course, tasting the flavors. 

• I also love the feeling of the hot mug in my hands 

 

This whole process slows me down and urges me to exercise patience and presence.  Lest I burn myself 😉 - a lesson I've learned many times over when I'm not quite as patient as I need to be...and one I'm sure I will continue to learn over and over!

​

After about 7 years as an acupuncturist, I decided to share my love of tea and herbal medicine in a way that's accessible.  I started with my direct patients at first, and have since decided to expand my reach and to share here online with you!   

 

I spent years studying Chinese herbalism in my graduate program, then watched those same formulas enrich my patients' lives. Throughout my years of practice, I've expanded also learned about Western Herbs & Ayurvedic ones as well. The teas you see below are an amalgam of my Chinese herbal knowledge with my Western & Functional Medicine.

CYCLE SYNCING COLLECTION

​

Whether you're:

​

• Tired of painful periods

• Looking to support a hormone imbalance

• Planning to stop taking birth control

• On your fertility journey

​

Supporting your cycle is one of the most empowering ways to support your health and body.  The Cycle Syncing Collection honors the exquisite wisdom of the cycling woman's body, and the complex dance of hormones that mark her monthly journey. The menstrual cycle is a finely tuned orchestration of hormones that manifests in four phases: Menstrual, Follicular, Ovulation & Luteal.

 

Stressors, both physical and emotional, can disrupt this delicate balance, impacting hormone production and potentially leading to discomfort, mood swings, and a lack of overall well-being. The teas below are carefully crafted to provide relief and enhance the unique qualities of each phase, allowing women to embrace their inner strength and maintain balance throughout their cycle.

​

If you feel like a different person throughout your cycle, with different strengths and moods, that is completely NORMAL!  

 

We women have four different phases in our cycle, each one characterized by varying levels of our body's sex hormones: Estrogen, Progesterone, and Testosterone.

​

The interplay between those hormones, and which one is dominant/declining at each time directly impacts the following through each of the four portions (menstrual, follicular, ovulation, luteal) of a woman's cycle:

• Mood

• Social Tendencies (introverted/social/flirty)

• Workout Strengths

• Thinking Processes (creative/detail oriented/analytical)

• Cholesterol

• Caloric Needs

• Insulin Sensitivity

​

​

​

If one phase is insufficient or imbalanced, the domino effect on the remainder of the cycle is unfortunately inevitable; which is why I paid specific attention to the nuances of each phase in order to support a full month of balanced wellness. I'm really excited for you to try out these teas and I really hope they help you feel better and support you in achieving your wellness goals!
