How does the moon affect your hormones? (& tending your body in the Spring transition)

Wait, what? The moon affects your hormones? Well, kinda. It can at least.In this week's episode I share both about how this works from a physiologic lens (yes there is actual reasons this can happen), but also how our bodies - so full of water - are obviously also impacted by the moon.Is the tides of the ocean can be pulled, why wouldn't the waters of our bodies as well? We are not separate from these cycles, and the more we attune to them, the more we can embrace the absolute magic that exists -- even in times that are as profoundly disturbing as the ones we are in.I also share about the qualities of the moon, and how that can relate to herbs from a bit of an astrological herbalism lens. This is not how I typically practice, but it's an area of interest for me, and one of the many ways we can understand energetics of plants. I also speak a bit to how the qualities of the moon reflect some of the qualities of this transitional time that is entering into Kapha season. And some herbal allies that may be supportive for you to counteract some of the allergies, congestion, dullness, heaviness or stagnation you might be experiencing as we gradually shift from Winter into Spring.Resources:Free guide: Gardening for Your Menstrual HealthToday's shownotes: Moon, hormones, lunar plants, Kapha seasonEpisode 83: What is astro-herbalism?
