Why Herbal Medicine?
|
Herbal Medicine is a powerful ally for optimal health. From the moment it touches your mouth it's absorbed through the mucous membranes, bypassing digestion, and getting to work quickly and effectively. Each herb has its own unique character - some gentle, others more potent. The herbs I've chosen here are specifically selected for their ability to support you and your loved ones during this time of life.

The Remedy
|
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera)
Withania is an adaptogen that stabilises cortisol and supports adrenal resilience - crucial during peri-menopause as the adrenals begin to take over some of the hormone production from the ovaries. It may help reduce anxiety, fatigue, and sleep disturbances, restoring calm and vitality. |
|
Chaste Tree (Vitex agnus-castus)
Vitex helps smooth out the rollercoaster of shifting estrogen and progesterone levels common in peri-menopause. It supports the pituitary gland, promoting healthy progesterone production, easing irregular cycles, breast tenderness, and mood swings. |
|
Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis)
Melissa soothes the nervous system, calming mood fluctuations, restlessness, and mild anxiety that often accompany hormonal transitions. It also supports restful sleep and gentle digestive balance - both commonly affected during peri-menopause. |
|
Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus)
This traditional tonic for the female reproductive system, helps maintain estrogen balance and hydration in tissues as natural levels begin to decline. It may ease hot flushes, vaginal dryness, and emotional irritability, while supporting libido and energy. |
|
Saffron (Crocus sativus)
Queen Saffron is a mood-lifting herb that helps counter act the low moods and irritability associated with peri-menopausal hormonal shifts. Acting directly on the brain it enhances serotonin activity, promoting emotional balance, calm, and a greater sense of wellbeing. |
|
Codonopsis (Codonopsis pilosula)
Dan Shen acts as a gentle energy and qi tonic, supporting stamina and resilience during times of hormonal change - particularly where low iron may be a concern. It helps reduce fatigue, strengthen digestion, and enhance immune function, providing steady energy through fluctuating hormone phases. |
|
Oxymel Base
Our apple cider vinegar and Manuka honey oxymel base, helps metabolise and clear excess hormones, nourish with natural enzymes and antioxidants, and aid in liver detoxification and digestion.
