Moon Cycle is a Wizard Alchemy blend formulated by Dr. Nick Berry specifically to support women through the phases of their monthly menstrual cycle. The blend draws on essential oils with well-documented hormonal balancing, antispasmodic, anti-inflammatory, and mood-stabilizing properties to create a comprehensive botanical ally for the physical and emotional fluctuations that accompany each phase of the cycle. From the energetic expansion of the follicular phase to the creative peak of ovulation, the introspective deepening of the luteal phase, and the releasing, purifying quality of menstruation itself, Moon Cycle is designed to support the body and spirit in moving through these transitions with greater ease, awareness, and connection to the natural wisdom of the cyclic feminine experience.

Several essential oils have strong traditional and evidence-based reputations for supporting menstrual health and hormonal balance. Clary sage is perhaps the most well-documented for its sclareol content, a compound with documented estrogen-modulating properties that supports hormonal balance and is antispasmodic for menstrual cramping. Geranium supports emotional balance and is used in Ayurveda for hormonal regulation. Rose is deeply supportive for the emotional aspects of the cycle and has documented effects on cortisol and stress hormones. Lavender reduces the anxiety and sleep disruption that can accompany hormonal fluctuation. Fennel and chamomile are classically antispasmodic for cramps. Ylang ylang addresses mood and libido. Moon Cycle draws on this rich botanical tradition to create a multi-dimensional cyclic support formula with many of these nourishing and supportive essential oils.

Moon Cycle blend is most effective when used consistently throughout the menstrual cycle rather than only during menstruation. Apply diluted in a carrier oil to the lower abdomen, sacral area, and lower back for direct support during cramping or discomfort. Diffuse during emotionally charged phases, particularly the late luteal phase before menstruation, to support mood stability and reduce stress. Apply to pulse points as a personal fragrance that doubles as an ongoing aromatic affirmation of your relationship with your cycle. Some practitioners time specific applications to the phases of the moon, using Moon Cycle during the new moon for intention-setting, the full moon for celebration and expression, and the dark moon for release and rest. This cyclic ritual use can deepen your connection to the natural rhythms the blend is designed to honor. Women have reported beneficial results from massaging this oil into their lower abdomen several days to 1-2 weeks before, during and after the cycle. Some testimonials have reported more regular menstration, or even younger women (30s) having their menstrual cycle come back online after not having their period for up to 10 years. These subset of women reported using the oil twice daily.

Moon Cycle blend is a natural ally for those engaged in cycle charting, cycle syncing, and the broader practice of living in alignment with the natural rhythms of the menstrual cycle. Using a specific aromatic anchor for each phase of your cycle, or a single blend like Moon Cycle throughout, creates a sensory ritual that brings conscious awareness to the different qualities of energy, creativity, introspection, and release that each phase offers. Many women find that introducing an aromatic ritual around their cycle supports a shift from experiencing it as an inconvenience to engaging with it as a source of rhythmic wisdom, creativity, and self-knowledge. This practice is supported by a growing body of cycle-awareness literature and coaching, and Moon Cycle oil provides a beautiful physical and aromatic anchor for the work which may also offer therapeutic benefit to the user.

Moon Cycle blend contains essential oils, including clary sage and other hormonally active botanicals, that are not recommended during pregnancy. Clary sage in particular has historically been used to stimulate uterine contractions and is contraindicated throughout pregnancy. If you are pregnant, trying to conceive, or breastfeeding, please review the full ingredient list and consult your healthcare provider or a qualified aromatherapist before using any essential oil blend with hormonally active components. The blend is formulated for non-pregnant menstruating adults. For those in the postpartum period after confirmed safe recovery, consult your healthcare provider about when it is appropriate to resume use of hormonally active botanicals.
