Every month, it's the same obstacle course for millions of women:to continue living despite periods that cause back pain, cramps, migraines and mood swings. Recently, we observe that the list of recommended remedies is growing with gourmet tips:to the eternal hot water bottle and homeopathy are now added chocolate-based products which would have miraculous virtues. After the chocolate with 17 herbs thought up by a Swiss confectioner in 2016, an American pastry shop has developed a brownie recipe that would considerably relieve the pain associated with menstruation. Based in Washington, the Moon Cycle has indeed specialized in making desserts that help support the inconveniences caused by the hormonal system of women. For the sum of $15 (€13), the establishment offers to deliver small sweets every month that include two key ingredients:ginger and magnesium.
In addition to the brownie, you can enjoy cupcakes or individual cupcakes with matcha green tea. The brand's founder, Devon Loftus, developed the amazing concept after a conversation with a friend who had her period at a wedding last year:she then told him that the chocolate cake she was eating made her particularly "emotional". The young woman then inquired with dieticians and acupuncturists about the vitamins and minerals that women lack when they are indisposed. “After talking to professionals and women, it became very clear to me that women want and need to be pampered during this time. Hence the importance of transforming an unpleasant stage into something that brings pleasure, that we look forward to and that makes you feel good in your body and in your head “, explains the entrepreneur to the Daily Mail . All thanks to cupcakes!
She recommends not depriving yourself of moments for yourself during these few delicate days:“It’s devoting yourself to yourself, and not denying yourself anything. Each of us needs a moment to sit down and take the time to savor something delicious “, she concludes. The Moon Cycle does not deliver internationally, but we are impatiently waiting for a similar pastry to see the light of day in France. Until then, it is always possible to try the red wine brownie recipe… It does not contain miracle ingredients, of course, but will provide the necessary comfort… Ah, it's already better!
