Mönchspfeffer und Menstruation

Monk's Pepper as Your Herbal Helper During Menstruation

As a herbal remedy for menstrual issues and period pains, monk's pepper (also known as chaste tree) has a long-standing tradition. First used in ancient Greece to enhance fertility, chaste tree is also frequently mentioned as a gentle support during menstruation. Its reputation stems primarily from its ability to regulate hormone levels. It is also believed to have soothing and anti-inflammatory effects.

  • Why Did We Develop a Ritual For Each Product?

The products therefore not only focus on their physical effect, but are also linked to rituals that are intended to promote your well-being in the long term. Rituals provide support and stability in your fast-paced everyday life. They also use your brain's ability to adapt and change over time.

This Place products are designed to make rituals an easy part of your skincare routine and create a daily moment of inner connection. In the long term, they aim to help you live a fuller and happier life.

  • Why do scents increase your well-being?

    The sense of smell dates back to a time when the brain, and how we use it, wasn't as complex as it is today. That's why your sense of smell can "bypass" the more complex processes in your brain. These processes mainly serve to filter the countless impressions that you are faced with on an everyday basis. And that's why scents are so powerful. Closely linked to your memory and your emotional world, they effortlessly revive long-forgotten memories or put you in a special mood in a matter of seconds. That's why our formula is as simple as it is powerful. Because the holistic self-care approach at This Place also takes into account the naturally powerful effects of fragrances. It has been proven that fragrances can increase well-being and motivation or reduce the feeling of stress.
