Herb Properties
Chaste Tree berries (Vitex agnus-castus)
Chaste Tree is a beautiful Mediterranean shrub producing berries with the extraordinary ability to stimulate and balance the function of the pituitary gland, particularly in relation to the female sex hormones. It has a normalising effect on FSH (follicle stimulating hormones) and LSH (luteal stimulating hormones). It supports the corpus luteum of the ovaries in the second part of the cycle. It appears to have a more progesteronic than oestrogenic action and makes a fine remedy for PMS and a range of menstrual and gynecological problems that are related to hormone imbalance. Chaste Tree berries have a calming and relaxing effect and can be used for irregular and painful periods, heavy bleeding fibroids, and to re-establish hormone balance after stopping hormone therapy. They are also effective to treat headaches and migraines associated with the menstrual cycle.

Calendula (Calendula officinalis)
Has an affinity with the female reproductive system, regulating menstruation and relieving menstrual cramps. Its astringent properties help to reduce excessive bleeding. It supports lymphatic clearance and helps to reduce uterine and breast congestion. Calendula enhances the function of the liver thus aiding in the clearance of toxins and hormones which is important for achieving hormonal balance. Its anti-bacterial and anti-fungal actions are effective in treating thrush and other infections.

Lady’s Mantle (Alchemilla vulgaris)
Was traditionally seen to resemble Virgin Mary’s cloak and has a special affinity to the female reproductive tract. Lady’s Mantle can beneficially assist women throughout all the different stages of life. As a uterine tonic it has regulating, strengthening, anti-inflammatory, wound healing, astringent (to reduce bleeding) and calming properties. It helps to regulate the cycle and reduces dysmenorhoea (painful periods).

 

Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis)
In the reproductive system Lemon Balm relaxes spasm causing period pain and relieves irritability and depression associated with PMT. It also helps to regulate periods and has been used traditionally to relax and strengthen women of all ages. It is an excellent herb for soothing the nerves and lifting the spirits. Its affinity with the digestive system and the gentle toning effect on the liver and gallbladder help to soothe nausea, vomiting and poor appetite. It helps to relieve fluid retention which is useful in PMT.

Yarrow (Achillea millefolium)
Is one of the oldest healing plants and has anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, antispasmodic, wound healing, diuretic and astringent properties. It contains sterols, which have a hormone-like action and help to regulate the menstrual cycle. It reduces heavy periods and uterine congestion. It supports the healthy functioning of the uterus, acts as a tonic to the circulatory system and supports the nervous system.

 

Oats (Avena sativa)
A nutritious grain full of protein, calcium, magnesium, silica, potassium, iron and vitamins that is an energy-giving nerve tonic and a relaxant at the same time. It acts as a uterine tonic, stimulates the thyroid gland and enhances sex hormone production, which is useful in treating infertility and impotence. Oats have the ability to regulate oestrogen levels and to relieve fluid retention.

Cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum)
Is an aromatic spice with warming and strengthening properties, a true tonic for the whole body. It stimulates circulation, which brings valuable nutrients to the womb area of the female body. Cinnamon also acts as a relaxant to the nervous system, reducing stress and anxiety. It stimulates the digestive system and helps to relieve cramps, colic, diarrhoea, wind, nausea and vomiting. The tannins have an astringent action and help to stem bleeding in heavy periods.
