When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy." Rumi
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
|
Gotu Kola (Centella asiatica)
A beautiful herb for cognitive and circulatory support post-menopause. Gotu kola enhances blood flow to the brain, improving memory, focus and mental clarity - areas that can feel dulled after years of hormonal flux. It also strengthens connective tissue and supports collagen production, helping maintain skin elasticity and vascular health as estrogen declines. |
|
Marshmallow (Althaea officianlis)
As dryness becomes more common post-menopause, Marshmallow's soothing and moistening properties help hydrate tissues - from the digestive tract to mucous membranes. Its demulcent nature supports internal comfort, easing dryness of the skin, throat, and even vaginal tissues, while offering gentle digestive support. |
|
Hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna)
Hawthorn is a heart tonic that shines during late menopause, when cardiovascular health becomes a key focus. It supports healthy blood pressure, circulation, and heart muscle function while offering emotional comfort for grief or loneliness that can surface in mid-to-late life transitions. Its gentle energetics strengthen both the physical and emotional heart. |
|
Holy Basil/Tulsi (Ocimum tenuiflorum)
Tulsi is perfect for helping the body adapt to ongoing stress as it supports balanced cortisol levels. In postmenopausal years it uplifts mood, reduces fatigue, and fosters a calm, steady sense of wellbeing. Holy Basil also supports blood sugar regulation and metabolism, which naturally slow with age, helping maintain balanced energy and vitality. |
|
Wild Yam (Dioscorea villosa)
This iconic menopausal herb continues to support the endocrine and reproductive systems by nourishing hormone pathways and easing residual symptoms such as joint stiffness or dryness. It also acts as a natural anti-inflammatory and supports muscle and bone health - vital for long term comfort and mobility. |
|
Lions Mane (Hericium erinaceus)
This stunning fungi is a remarkable mushroom for cognitive and nerve health. It promotes the growth of nerve cells (NGF - nerve growth factor) supporting brain health, memory, and mental clarity. In late menopause it can help counter "brain fog", boost focus and even support emotional resilience and mood balance. |
|
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. Blended with herbal extracts, the oxymel's natural acidity softens alcohol content for gentler absorption, creating a deliciously effective base that harmonises body, mind, and hormones. |
