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)
Supports the endocrine system by helping balance stress hormones (like cortisol) which indirectly supports the smooth transition into puberty. It may also promote steady energy, improved sleep, and emotional stability. It is also a nutrient rich tonic, supporting iron bioavailability which is essential for growth. |
|
Skullcap (Scutellaria lateriflora)
Calms an overactive nervous system, which can help with the mood swings, irritability, and heightened sensitivity that often appear as hormones begin to change. Yes, those little outbursts, or sudden change of personality may be the onset of puberty! |
|
Elderberry (Sambucus nigra)
While not directly hormonal, its immune-boosting effects help support overall resilience during a time when the body is undergoing big internal changes. Rich in antioxidants it also nourishes the rapidly growing and changing brain and endocrine system. |
|
Aniseed (Pimpinella anisum)
Contains phytoestrogen like compounds that may gently support hormonal balance, easing the early fluctuations in oestrogen and progesterone. It is also excellent for supporting a healthy gut terrain, keeping parasites away and supporting the gut-brain axis. |
|
Marshmallow (Althaea officianlis)
More supportive than hormonal, marshmallow soothes digestive and mucous membranes, which can be affected by stress and shifting hormones. It also helps to promote a healthy gut-brain axis which is essential for happy hormones, and optimal growth and stability. |
|
Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla)
Known for calming nerves and aiding sleep, chamomile can help counteract hormonal restlessness, anxiety, or trouble winding down that can emerge in pre-adolescence. One of the building blocks for growth and transitional change is optimal sleep. |
|
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. |
