Menstruation & The Moon

Menstrual Cycles & Moon Cycles

Are you a white moon or red moon?

Menstruation is one of the three golden opportunities in Chinese Medicine to really connect with our bodies. Menstruation connects us to the natural rhythms of our bodies with Mother Earth and her moon. Menstruation helps us to embody the Divine Feminine. The totality of our cycle provides us with constant feedback about the health of our whole system. This is why we acupuncturists love talking about cycles!

White Moon

Red Moon

Neither one or the other, bleeding/ovulating during the full moon is better or more preferred than the other. Just as bleeding/ovulating at other times is perfectly fine as well. The key to this discussion is really to emphasize the importance of connecting with your own cycle and to share some of historical trends that you may experience.

If your cycle is irregular, uncomfortable/painful, erratic, absent, too heavy or too light, or less desirable in anyway, reach out for a session, I’d love to support you in a more comfortable cycle.
