If you plant shrubs for winter interest, make sure it is a native shrub with berries that sustain your local wildlife. There are many types of Buckthorn or Viburnum. But what is native in your state can be a nuisance or even an invasive elsewhere. Non-native species often lack the specific nutrients that your local birds need. If you live in the USA and you are not sure what to look for; use the USA Plant Database. The birds will be grateful! https://plants.usda.gov/home

If your periods have your uterus in a knot each month, yoga can make a difference in pain relief done both preventatively and while you’re experiencing discomfort. It can significantly reduce or completely eliminate your need for any pain medications. So consider yoga for going au naturale with your cycles.

Luna Flow is a yoga sequence I share in Hormone Intelligence that you’ll love and I hope brings you ease. It’s a beautiful flow to do even if your moontime is already generally symptom free, to improve pelvic circulation and nourish inner peace.

These asanas that have been specifically found in studies, to reduce period pain and pelvic discomfort.

🧘‍♀️Cat + Cow: Get down onto all fours. With a deep, slow exhale, drop your belly toward the ground, gently stretching your lower back and lower abdomen. Next, with a deep, slow inhale, arch your back, tucking your tailbone under, elongating your lower spine. Repeat eight times, rhythmically inhaling and exhaling with each movement.

🧘‍♀️ Expanded Child’s Pose: Walk your hands forward toward the front of your yoga mat, bringing your chest and belly toward the ground, widening your knees, and dropping your hips toward the floor. Feel a delicious stretch in your hips and lower back.

🧘‍♀️ Open-Hearted Pose: Place a pillow toward the upper third of your mat and lie on your back so that the lower part of the pillow lands just below your shoulder blades, and your head and neck are extended, draping off the top. Place the heels of your feet together, letting your knees drop to each side. A rolled towel or bolster can be placed under your knees for extra support. Lie in this position as you transition into the next optional practice.

🧘‍♀️Resting Goddess: Remove the pillow from under your back, but keep your legs in the same position. Lie here for 3 to 10 minutes, breathing deeply and slowly.

Finish with a hot shower with essential oils. Take a hot water bottle to bed with you, and position yourself comfortably draped over a body pillow. And oh yes, practice a little ta**ra, too! Or***ms during your period can help relieve cramps. help you sleep, and lighten and shorten your flow if you also have heavy periods.
