Cyclic Infusion 1
This infusion is what must be taken in the first phase of the menstrual cycle, from the first day of the period until ovulation. More or less the first 14 days of the complete cycle. Then you have to stop taking it and start with cyclical infusion 2.
The first part of the cycle is the follicular phase, where estrogen levels increase so that the ovary releases the egg.
Therefore, the composition of this cyclic infusion 1 is composed of herbs that are rich in phytoestrogens:
- Raspberry leaf: provides extra zinc and contains large amounts of vitamin C and phytoestrogens.
- Altamisa: favors the stimulation of the capillaries of the womb, strengthening it to increase the probability of implantation of the fertilized egg.
- Rosemary: rich in antioxidants that improve blood circulation.
- Sage: helps stabilize basal temperature during the first phase of the menstrual cycle.
- Elderflowers: improve the quality of cervical mucus.
According to a high percentage of women, after taking Cyclic Infusion 1 they have noticed an increase in the amount of cervical mucus, which helps sperm pass through the cervix. Cyclic infusion link 1
Cyclic Infusion 2
This infusion must be taken in the second phase of the menstrual cycle, once that you have ovulated. If you are not sure when that day is because the basal temperature measurement is not regular, you can always resort to an ovulation test.
The second part of the cycle is the luteal phase, the uterus prepares to receive a fertilized egg, and that is why a woman's body generates progesterone.
The composition of Cyclic Infusion 2 is a selection of plants rich in phytoprogestogens:
- Lion's Foot: tones the walls of the uterus, to facilitate embryo implantation.
- Nettle leaves: with a lot of vitamin E, which enhances fertility.
- Yarrow: relieves menstrual pain.
