HERBAL EDUCATION:

Thriving in your Luteal Phase

The luteal phase—the magical window between ovulation and your period—is your body’s time to slow down, ground, and prepare for renewal. But for many women, it’s anything but serene. Bloating, fatigue, mood swings, and irritability can turn this phase into a stormy struggle, leaving you drained and disconnected.

The truth is, these symptoms aren’t inevitable—they’re signals. Often, the root cause lies in the gut. A stressed gut housing parasites, bacteria, or fungal overgrowth can disrupt hormone balance, spike inflammation, and impair nutrient absorption. This creates a perfect storm for common luteal phase symptoms like low energy, bloating, fluid retention, and heightened sensitivity.

Enter Inner Temple Drops, a liquid herbal blend designed to cleanse the gut, reduce inflammation, and support hormonal harmony. By eliminating parasites and rebalancing the gut microbiome, these drops pave the way for a smoother, more balanced luteal phase. With better digestion, nutrient absorption, and reduced toxic load, your body can function as it’s meant to—calm, clear, and energised.

10 Go-To Tips for Easing Your Luteal Phase

Pairing Inner Temple Drops with supportive lifestyle practices can transform how you feel during this phase. Here are 10 tips to help you thrive:

1. Slow Down and Simplify

Reduce your workload and prioritise rest. Your energy is naturally lower in the luteal phase, so honour this by saying no to over-commitments.

2. Boost Magnesium Levels

Magnesium is a luteal phase lifesaver, helping with cramps, mood regulation, and sleep. Add foods like dark chocolate, leafy greens, and pumpkin seeds.

3. Eat More Food

Your body needs an extra 200-300 calories during this phase. Focus on warming, nourishing foods like sweet potatoes, soups, and stews to support progesterone production.

4. Support Detoxification

Help your liver process hormones by including cruciferous veggies (broccoli, cauliflower) and staying hydrated. Adding a pinch of high-quality salt to your water aids hydration.

5. Practice Nervous System Regulation

Simple breath work or somatic practices calm your cortisol levels, which directly supports progesterone. Try a 5-minute deep belly breathing session daily.

6. Minimise Intense Workouts

Swap high-intensity workouts for yoga, Pilates, or walking. Overtraining during the luteal phase can spike cortisol and worsen PMS symptoms.

7. Add Herbal Allies

Pair Inner Temple Drops with calming teas like red raspberry leaf, nettle, or chamomile. These herbs support hormonal balance and relaxation.

8. Prioritise Sleep

Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep. Your body repairs and restores overnight, so reduce screen time and create a calming bedtime ritual.

9. Address Emotional Fluctuations

Journaling or meditating can help process emotions that bubble up during the luteal phase. This is a natural time for reflection and release.

10. Avoid Inflammatory Foods

Steer clear of sugar, alcohol, and processed foods that can aggravate inflammation and bloating. Opt for whole, nourishing foods to support your cycle.

Reclaiming Your Cycle as a Superpower

The luteal phase is an invitation to tune into your body’s wisdom, honour its need for rest, and prepare for the transformative renewal of menstruation. By using Inner Temple Drops during the follicular phase to cleanse and reset your gut, and following supportive practices during the luteal phase, you can shift from surviving your cycle to thriving in it.
