Description

When your period is making everybody’s life harder.

You know the feeling.

Your period hasn’t even started yet, but somehow you already know it’s coming.

You’re bloated. Your stomach feels off. You’re tired. You’re crampy. You’re emotional. Everything is irritating you—including things that absolutely did not bother you three days ago.

And sometimes you don’t even feel like yourself.

I get it.

Moon Time Menses is my herbal blend created specifically to support women through the uncomfortable physical and emotional days surrounding their monthly cycle.

Because sometimes your period isn’t just a period.

It’s a whole event.

Does This Sound Familiar?

🌙 Your period is still days away, but your body has already announced its arrival.

🌙 You’re bloated, uncomfortable, crampy, or just generally feeling blah.

🌙 You’re exhausted but somehow also irritable and restless.

🌙 Your emotions feel MUCH closer to the surface than usual.

🌙 Your stomach gets weird around your cycle.

🌙 You feel like a completely different person for a few days every month.

🌙 You’d really just like to get through your period without feeling like your entire body has turned against you.

Moon Time Menses was created to support:

• Menstrual comfort
• A calm, balanced mood during your cycle
• Relaxation when you’re feeling tense or uncomfortable
• Digestive comfort during your period
• Everyday energy when your cycle has you feeling drained
• Overall well-being before and during menstruation

Basically?

A little herbal backup for that time of the month.

Why I Made Moon Time Menses

Women have been using herbs around their menstrual cycles for generations.

And honestly, it makes sense.

Your period doesn’t happen to one isolated part of your body.

Your stomach can feel different.

Your energy can change.

Your mood can change.

Your sleep can change.

Your appetite can change.

And some months you can practically feel your entire body saying:

“Oh, we’re doing THIS again.”

So I didn’t want Moon Time to focus on just one piece of the puzzle.

I wanted herbs traditionally used for menstrual comfort.

Something for the emotional side.

Something calming.

Something for the stomach.

And something to offer a little support when your energy has completely packed its bags.

That’s how Moon Time Menses came together.

Green tea. Jasmine. Mint. Passionflower. Rose. Ginger. St. John’s wort.

Different herbs doing different jobs, all with one goal:

Making those few days of the month feel a little more manageable.

What’s Inside?

🌿 Green Tea

Green tea (Camellia sinensis) is probably familiar to just about everyone.

I included it here because it naturally contains caffeine and has traditionally been enjoyed for gentle energy and alertness.

Because sometimes your period doesn’t care that you still have things to do.

🌸 Jasmine

Jasmine has been treasured for centuries for its beautiful aroma and its place in traditional wellness practices.

I love it in Moon Time because it brings a softer, soothing element to the blend and pairs beautifully with both green tea and rose.

🌿 Mint

Mint is one of my favorite simple herbs.

It’s traditionally used to support digestion and can be especially nice when your stomach feels unsettled, heavy, or just off.

And if your digestive system seems to have its own monthly calendar, you know exactly what I’m talking about.

🌿 Passionflower

Passionflower (Passiflora incarnata) is traditionally used to promote relaxation and calm.

That’s why you’ll find it in several of my formulas.

In Moon Time, it’s there for the days when you’re tense, restless, emotional, or everything just feels like a lot.

🌹 Rose

Rose isn’t here just because it’s pretty.

Rose has a long history in traditional herbal practices and is one of those botanicals I love when a formula needs something gentle and soothing.

It also happens to feel perfectly at home in a women’s monthly blend.

🌿 Ginger

If you’ve been around Binford’s for any length of time, you already know I love ginger.

Ginger has traditionally been used to support digestion, settle occasional nausea, and support menstrual comfort.

It’s warming, familiar, and incredibly versatile.

There was no way I was making Moon Time without it.

🌼 St. John’s Wort

St. John’s wort (Hypericum perforatum) has a long history of traditional use for emotional well-being and mood support.

I included it because Moon Time isn’t only about what’s happening physically.

For many women, the emotional changes surrounding their period can be just as noticeable as the physical ones.

IMPORTANT: St. John’s wort can interact with a LOT of medications—including hormonal birth control. Please read my safety note below before deciding whether Moon Time is appropriate for you.

Full Ingredient List

How I Use It

Shake well before using.

Take 1–2 droppers full (approximately 30–60 drops), 2–3 times daily or as needed.

You can take it directly or add it to a small amount of water or another beverage.

When taking it directly, I like to hold it under my tongue or along the gumline briefly before swallowing.

My little tip with Moon Time:

Don’t necessarily wait until your period arrives.

If you know your body and can usually tell when your cycle is approaching, you may prefer working Moon Time into your routine during those premenstrual days and continuing through your period as desired.

Pay attention to your body and find the routine that works best for you.

Why Glycerin Instead of Alcohol?

Most traditional tinctures are made with alcohol.

Mine aren’t.

I chose an organic vegetable glycerin base because I wanted my tinctures to be accessible to people who prefer or need to avoid alcohol.

That includes people living an alcohol-free lifestyle, people in recovery, and anyone who simply doesn’t want alcohol in their herbal products.

Glycerin also has a naturally pleasant, slightly sweet flavor, making these tinctures much easier to take than many traditional alcohol-based extracts.

Alcohol-Free • Non-GMO Glycerin • No Coconut • No Soy

Simple.

Just the way I like it.

Handmade in Small Batches

I’ve been making herbal products for years, and one thing hasn’t changed:

I still want to know what’s going into the bottle.

Moon Time Menses is handmade in small batches using herbs I’ve intentionally chosen for this formula.

No giant production line.

No unnecessary ingredients added just because they sound impressive on a label.

Just a thoughtfully created herbal blend made the same way I’ve always preferred to make my products:

Simple, intentional, and by hand.

Is Moon Time Menses Right for You?

This is basically the conversation we’d have if you were standing across from me at my market table.

“My biggest issue is my stomach. It doesn’t matter where I am in my cycle.”

I’d probably show you At Bay first.

“I’m generally stressed and overwhelmed and need something for everyday calming support.”

Take a look at Calm Seas.

“My mood has just felt a little off lately, and it isn’t specifically connected to my period.”

That’s where I’d show you Sunshine in a Bottle.

But…

“Every month I know my period is coming because my mood, stomach, energy, and body ALL start acting differently.”

Now we’re talking Moon Time Menses.

That’s exactly why I made it.

---

Already Love the Hero Trio?

Moon Time isn’t replacing anything in the Hero Trio.

It’s simply more specific.

Calm Seas → everyday stress and calming support.

At Bay → when your stomach just won’t cooperate.

In Focus → when your brain won’t cooperate.

Moon Time Menses → support specifically for the days surrounding your menstrual cycle.

Different problem.

Different bottle.

Start with what’s actually bothering you.

A Quick Note From Me

I love herbs.

But natural doesn’t automatically mean appropriate for everyone, and Moon Time is one product where I really want you to read this part.

This formula contains St. John’s wort, which is known to interact with many medications.

That can include hormonal birth control, antidepressants and other medications that affect serotonin, certain blood thinners, seizure medications, transplant medications, some heart medications, and others.

St. John’s wort may also increase sensitivity to sunlight in some people.

Moon Time also contains green tea, which naturally contains caffeine.

If you take prescription medication, use hormonal birth control, have a medical condition, or aren’t sure whether one of these herbs is appropriate with something you’re taking, please check with your pharmacist or qualified healthcare professional before using Moon Time.

If you’re pregnant or nursing, don’t use this product without first speaking with your qualified healthcare professional.

And if your periods are unusually painful, extremely heavy, suddenly different, or your emotional symptoms become severe, please don’t assume it’s something you simply have to put up with every month. Those symptoms deserve a conversation with your healthcare professional.

Moon Time was created for those days.

A thoughtfully chosen blend of herbs for a little extra physical and emotional support before and during your monthly cycle.
