A Ritual of Care for Your Cycle

Using The Hug is a moment to come home to your body. Whether you reach for it during PMS, menstruation, or any emotionally charged phase, this ritual invites you to reconnect with warmth, care, and intention.

01 – Prepare

Find a quiet moment. Whether you’re in bed, just waking up, or winding down your day. Give yourself a few slow breaths. Let your body settle before you begin.

02 – Center

Squeeze a hazelnut-sized amount into your palm. Let your breath deepen as you pause. Notice where in your body you feel called to bring attention.

03 – Warm

Gently warm the cream between your palms. Inhale the earthy scent of frankincense and St. John’s wort, a sensory cue to slow down and stay with yourself.

04 – Apply

Massage the cream with slow, circular motions into your lower belly or back. Allow your touch to be both firm and kind.

05 – Let It Sink In

Stay with yourself for a moment longer. Feel the warmth, the scent, and the rhythm of your breath. Let this be a quiet gesture of care toward your body.
