Full Moon Blessings πππ
For some reason Fbook has not allowed me to originate posts with a GIF for at least two Moon Cycles.
No matter, I think this is better.
I started my own Moon Time yesterday. πβ€οΈπ I always feel extra Witchy when my time aligns with the New or Full Moon.
I appreciate this slideshow that was at the top of my IG feed this morning. In my youth and on into recent years, I'd shun my Moon Time. PMS. Cramping. Irregularities. Misdiagnoses (plural).
Historically, men's bodies have been the benchmark for various anatomical studies. Why?
A while ago I viewed an insightful discussion on the importance of Fascia in our bodies. A woman doctor gave an answer to that "why."
Because historically women's hormones have been seen as a problem. These pesky chemicals get in the way of an outcome, so historically, it was easier to examine and build tests, trials, medications, and even exercises around male anatomy. This is stated broadly. I am well aware men experience their own unique health concerns, challenges, and conditions based on genetic makeup. I am not aware (yet) that men menstruate. π π©Έ (well thank you, blood emoji, for coming up when I typed menstruate β€οΈ).
Misinformation that becomes adopted by the mainstream harms many (see the IG link). It leaves people silenced, misdiagnosed, mistreated, and literally poisoned. Heavy metals found in feminine hygiene products as recently as 2024? Proper studies on, you know, actual menstrual blood, as recently as 2025?
Sure, sure, there are probably more and older proper studies, but I can only post one IG link at a time.
12-year old me never would have dreamed to speak on this. She is proud of 45-year old me. I've come a long way, honey!
Anyway, yes, unique blind studies are needed for all groups and subgroups. It's groovy that medical science continues to progress. Diverse perspectives help diminish the "we've always done it this way" illogic.
Fullest Full Moon Blessings to you, and happy (achy) Moon Time to me. ππ©Έπ
