My name is Natasha and I'm the founder of Forage Botanicals. I help women have better periods through seasonal self-care rituals. I am a medical herbalist and I can have terrible period pains. While I was training as a herbalist I taught myself how to chart my periods and experimented with my diet and home remedies. But I found that the most significant contributor to my period pain was stress.
I created a range of natural products to help you incorporate relaxation into your monthly routine in an easy, manageable way using self-care rituals. Either buy my Blossom Self-care Kit or make your own self-care ritual using artisanal products from my online store.
If you're ready to take things deeper I have an online course which teaches you all the things I had to teach myself. How to live in tune with your cycle, remedies for common period problems like period pain, menstrual migraines and PMS plus how to use self-care to prevent them.
For those of you with a hormonal condition I'd recommend we have a chat to decide what's the best next step for you. You can also look at the guides I have on Endometriosis, Fibroids, Adenomyosis and PCOS to get an insight into what natural options you have.
Everything you need for a better period under one roof.

Currently closed. Sign up to mailing list to learn when it opens again.
This 4-week long course is accompanied by a self-care kit of our own natural products. It teaches you how to go with the flow of your menstrual cycle and how to use herbs, diet and home remedies to abate common period problems like; period pain, bloating, fatigue and migraines.
Natural Products
All the products in the shop are made by British artisans and are completely natural. I wanted to show you all the amazing things that have helped relieve my period-woes and let me find a way to go with the flow instead.
Treatment Plans
Having period problems can really suck. Even if you've been told you've got something like Endometriosis, PCOS or Fibroids with the help of stress management, a natural diet and medicinal herbs you can support yourself. I will give you the tools you need to live free from fear of your periods.
I run Wild Medicine Walks, Folk Medicine Making days and other workshops upon request.
Hormone Condition Guides
Getting diagnosed with a hormonal problem such as Fibroids, Endometriosis or PCOS is tough. There aren't many options for women from the doctors which don't potentially hinder your fertility in the long term. Even if you're past worrying about fertility the options you're given might feel too invasive for your liking. I'll be releasing guides about your natural options for a variety of illnesses over the coming months.
