HOW TO USE THE MOON PHASES FOR YOUR HEALTH

The moon influences the tides. But does it also affect our health? In this article, we'll take a closer look at the different phases of the moon.

You will learn about the different phases of the moon and how they influence our lives, how the female menstrual cycle and the lunar cycle are connected, and how you can use the phases of the moon for your health.

What phases of the moon are there?

Every month the moon goes through four phases:

• new moon
• Waxing Moon
• Full moon
• Waning Moon

At the beginning of the lunar cycle, the moon is between the sun and the Earth, which is why we cannot see it: it is a new moon. Afterward, the phase change occurs synchronously with the moon's position relative to the sun. First, it gradually "uncovers" itself, and we see a crescent. When the moon is at right angles to the sun, it appears as a half moon. And at a full moon, the moon and sun are directly opposite each other.

How do the phases of the moon influence life?

With its infinite power, the moon sets entire oceans in motion around the clock. Isn't it obvious that it also influences our bodies? While this connection hasn't yet been fully scientifically confirmed, many (especially sensitive) people frequently feel the lunar phases. 

It doesn't hurt to listen a little more closely to yourself and pay attention to the rhythm of the moon. Poor sleep during a full moon, extreme drive during a new moon – we often feel the power of the moon firsthand. It leads us to pay more attention to our own rhythm and that of nature. 

Excursus: The Moon and the Female Cycle

Did you know that the average lunar cycle lasts approximately 29 days? That's roughly the length of the average female menstrual cycle. Some researchers see this as evidence that women, in particular, are more connected to the moon than we realize.

There are stories that say that women's menstrual cycles used to always run synchronously with the lunar cycle. According to this theory, women menstruated on the new moon and were fertile on the full moon. Scientists debate whether modern-day artificial light might have disrupted this rhythm. 

What is certain, however, is that electronic devices cause us to go to bed later, sleep less (and experience more stress ), and thus our fertility and our entire cycle suffer from the influence of artificial light. The female body, in particular, goes through various phases, like the lunar cycle.

How can moon phases be used correctly?

The four different phases of the moon also bring with them different energies, which we would like to discuss in more detail here:

New Moon - STAY WILD, MOON CHILD

Something new begins during this phase. This can also be applied to our lives. This creative energy is most noticeable in the first three days after the new moon. This phase is particularly suitable for starting something new and supports change. Whether you want to book a new exercise class or take up a new hobby – harness the momentum of the new moon.

To help you achieve your goals, we highly recommend our ENERGY CAPSULES . For positive vibes that support your creativity, we recommend the HAPPY MOOD CAPSULES .

Waxing Moon

This phase is all about growth. Whether you want to build a financial buffer or grow your hair longer, the ideal time for anything you want to grow is now. 

And this is also the ideal time to nourish yourself. We recommend our beauty formulas for this. The BEAUTY X HYALURONIC ACID CAPSULES provide your skin with moisture from within, and our SMOOTH SKIN SET improves skin density and smoothness. 

Full moon

Use this lunar phase to ground yourself and tap into your power. During this phase, it's especially important to allow yourself enough rest. A spa day, more relaxation, or meditation: allow yourself to relax and recharge.

Our CALM ME CAPSULES can help you relax and unwind. If you're one of those moon-sensitive people who often find yourself lying awake on full moon nights, we recommend our SLEEP CAPSULES .

Waning Moon

The last of the four lunar phases: The waning half moon to the new moon is all about letting go. Ask yourself: What do you no longer want in your life? Bad habits, addictions, illness – you can get rid of all of these now by consciously deciding to do something about them. You can also lose excess weight more easily during this lunar phase.

To further support this phase of letting go, we recommend our CLEAN CAPSULES . They support lipid metabolism and the liver, and their soothing ingredients provide more lightness and vitality.
