THE BENEFITS
Promotes healthy circulation
Supporting your cycle and soothing cramps
Calming sensitive or irritated skin
Encourages circulation for deep relaxation
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, mugwort has been used for thousands of years to support women's health because of its warming nature that expels cold from the womb, what TCM sees as the root cause of painful periods, clots, and irregular cycles. Soaking in mugwort moves stagnant blood and Qi to ease cramping, supports hormonal balance and circulation, and calms your nervous system.
✔️ Easing muscle tension and menstrual cramping
✔️ Calming sensitive, inflamed, or reactive skin
✔️ Supporting your cycle and soothing period pain
✔️ Preparing the body for deep, restful sleep
✔️ Grounding the nervous system after a demanding day
Mugwort contains natural anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, making it ideal for soothing irritated skin and promoting circulation.
Sophora is used in Chinese medicine for detoxifying the skin and reducing inflammation, great for eczema-prone and sensitive skin.

In Chinese Medicine
Mugwort’s warming nature expels cold from the womb, in TCM, cold invasion is
considered the primary cause of painful, irregular, or clotted periods.
By warming the lower body through full immersion, herbal bathing reaches areas that topical products cannot.
Soaking in mugwort eases cramping, supports healthy circulation, and calms the nervous system in a way that feels both immediate and deeply restorative.
Why mugwort specifically?
Mugwort (艾叶, Ai Ye) has been used in Chinese Medicine for over 3,000 years. It’s the herb at the heart of moxibustion therapy and one of the most important herbs for women’s health in the TCM tradition. Its warming, moving properties make it uniquely suited to supporting menstrual health, circulation, and nervous system calm, which is why it’s the foundation of
this formula.
Can I use this during my period?
Yes, in fact, this is one of the best times to use it. Soaking in warm mugwort water during your period helps ease cramping, support blood flow, and soothe the lower body. In TCM, keeping the womb area warm during menstruation is considered essential to menstrual health.

Came across mugwort when seeing my lovely acupuncturist... the scent is quite appealing. She mentioned your mugwort sachets... so far have used just two.... a very pleasant bath soak, especially this time of year.
I love using this for baths or soaking my feet at the end of a day - it is very relaxing and I’ve seen my sleep quality really improve after using this product!
I love using the mugwort pouches in the bath and separately as a foot soak before bed. The scent is calming and the mugwort is doing the job of helping me relax and make the tension go down before sleep 💤
it's great!
Found this bath soak to be so relaxing and beautiful on the skin
This product is fantastic. Beautifully packaged and I felt instant results after my first bath. Calming, warming and a peaceful nights sleep.
I love this bath soak, I have endometriosis and have seen a marked difference since using!
This is a birthday present, so it’s not been used yet, but it’s been opened and the smell is Devine
This was a gift, and it was much appreciated. Lovely packaging, and I am told ,a great product.
Nice thing for baths, helps keep warm
I really love this soak, which works particularly well for me as a foot bath. I struggle with cold feet due to anaemia and my feet had much better circulation and were toasty for days after I used it. My sleep improved too. It’s a nice complement to my acupuncture sessions! I wonder if the bag could be smaller for foot baths to make them go further though, as my system is quite sensitive and doesn’t need a lot. But lovely product, will definitely buy again.
Very nice mugwort bath gives a lovely sleep .
Super relaxing. Loved it!
Pleasant herby smell, no mess in the bath and nice addition to my chillout bathing routine.
This is a gift
Bought these for a friend and she absolutely loves them! She said the mugwort soak feels incredibly calming and grounding, they've got a slight herbal scent that’s comforting after a long day. I can’t wait to try them myself 🥰 x
I really like this bath soak. I bought it as I have long covid/ME and needed something to relax my muscles and help with fatigue and aching. I've had a few baths with this now and it always helps me feel relaxed and ready for sleep afterwards.
Love these pouches so soothing on the skin, relaxes the muscles and I’ve noticed a more regular cycle.
Very relaxing and calming helps soothe away pain.
Slept so well after my first bath with one of these bags - given there are 8 bags they are a similar price to a lush bath both but without the sls and colours!
It was pretty good. Got for my daughter who has bad period pain. She said it helped a bit.
I have a very sensitive skin and have to be really careful what I use in the bath. Sadly this didn’t suit my skin but is a lovely product.
I mean I don’t really feel I’ve gotten much if any benefit but I enjoyed having a bath with it however when I found out how many of these bags are recommended to use each week I can’t afford to follow the best usage advice as I would Need to spend so much to use as and when to get the best from it - very disappointing would be nice if one pack had the correct amount for a months use
Very calming!
Great addition to my evening routine. So relaxing!
