Luteal Love Elixir
A warming herbal tonic for the inward, reflective phase of your menstrual cycle.
The luteal phase invites softness, grounding, and nourishment. As progesterone rises and the body prepares for rest, many women notice shifts in mood, energy, cravings, tension, and sensitivity. This rich, ruby-toned herbal elixir is crafted to support the nervous system, hormonal balance, and emotional wellbeing during this phase of the month - and can also be a beautiful ally during perimenopause, when fluctuating hormones may bring emotional intensity, irregular cycles, sleep changes, and nervous system depletion.
Featuring Chaste Tree Berry for cyclical hormone support, Schisandra for stress resilience & liver harmony, Raspberry Leaf for uterine nourishment, Lemon Balm and Damiana for emotional ease and gentle uplift, and Hibiscus for its tart, heart-opening brightness — all infused into warming brandy and raw honey.
Sip slowly as an evening ritual, added to sparkling water, or stirred into warm tea. Don't want the alcohol? No worries - you can also make this as an oxymel or tea (see instructions below).
Instructions
Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp Chaste Tree Berries
- 2 tbsp Schisandra Berries
- 2 tbsp Raspberry Leaf
- 2 tbsp Hibiscus Flowers
- 2 tbsp Lemon Balm
- 2 tbsp Damiana
- 1 - 1 ½ cups Brandy (enough to cover herbs completely)
- ½ - 1 cup Raw Honey (to taste)
Optional additions:
- Cinnamon stick
- Fresh ginger slices
- Rose petals
- Vanilla bean
Method:
- Lightly crush Chaste Tree Berries and Schisandra Berries in a mortar and pestle or herb grinder
- Place all herbs into a clean glass jar.
- Cover completely with brandy (ensure herbs are fully submerged)
- Seal jar tightly
- Store in a cool, dark place for 2–4 weeks
- Shake gently every few days
After 2-4 weeks:
- Strain through muslin or fine sieve
- Press herbs well to extract liquid
- Stir in raw honey to taste. (About 1/2 the volume of liquid)
- Bottle and store in amber glass.
- Take 1–2 tsp daily in luteal phase

For oxymel:
Follow the instructions above, but replace the brandy with Apple Cider Vinegar & increase the honey ratio. Mix strained infusion 1:1 with raw honey.
For tea:
Use 1 tsp of each herb to 500ml water. Simmer Chaste Tree Berry & Schisandra first for 10-15 minutes. Then add remaining herbs & steep covered for 10 minutes. Strain, sweeten to taste & enjoy!
