Today I Am Remembering to Slow Down
🌹🍵 Today I Am Remembering to Slow Down
A love note to your hormones, heart, and holy nervous system
Today, I am remembering to slow down and enjoy this season.
Not just the weather, the vibe, or the moon phase—but the season inside of me.
The one that says: rest is productive. Pleasure is medicine. Your hormones need a hug.
So here I am, sipping on a cup of rose and red clover tea, and suddenly everything feels just a little less... cortisol..
🌿 Meet the Herbal Dream Team: Rose + Red Clover
Rose is more than a mood—she’s a botanical therapist in petals.
She softens the nervous system, opens the heart chakra, cools emotional heat, and whispers, “Babe, you don’t have to hold it all.”
She’s the floral equivalent of silk sheets, emotional boundaries, and permission to cry for no reason.
Red Clover is the hormone whisperer.
She supports estrogen balance, encourages healthy blood circulation, and gently detoxifies the body. She’s especially loved during PMS, perimenopause, and when you’re feeling puffy, cranky, or stuck.
Think of her as the auntie who brings snacks, wisdom, and zero judgment.
Together?
They create a feminine elixir of calm, helping to lower cortisol, nourish your blood, balance your hormones, and remind you that your body is not a machine—it’s a temple. One with soft lighting and a firm “Do Not Disturb” sign.
✨ The Ritual (because this isn’t just tea, it’s a moment)
What you’ll need:
1 tsp dried rose petals
1 tsp dried red clover blossoms
Optional: a pinch of lemon balm or chamomile
Hot water
A mug you love
10 minutes of sacred stillness (or as close as you can get)
To make:
Steep the herbs in hot water, covered, for 10–15 minutes.
Strain, sip, and drop into your body. This is your daily love potion.
💌 Why It Works (Science + Spirit)
Balances hormones (especially estrogen)
Lowers cortisol and reduces nervous system tension
Improves blood flow = more oxygen to the brain + skin glow
Opens the emotional heart (hello, tearful gratitude and deeper self-love)
Supports lymphatic movement, helping your body process emotional + physical stress
And beyond all that... it invites you to slow the hell down.
To choose rest over rushing.
To remember: your softness is sacred, not optional.
🌸 A Little Mantra to Sip With:
"I am not behind. I am not broken.
I am a woman in rhythm, sipping medicine the Earth made just for me."
Drink daily. Journal if you want. Cry if you need. Let the petals hold you.
And remind your hormones: We got this. Gently. Luxuriously. With love.
