Here's more information about my Menopause Support formula! This is a great formula for balancing hormones. If you are going through “the change” or are in perimenopause, this tincture is for you! This tincture helps with balancing hormones so that your hot flashes, moods, fatigue, etc. may be alleviated. It also is good for those who are younger but have female hormonal issues. I may not have been the smartest to call it "menopause" formula instead of "hormone balancing formula", because all females can use it to help balance their hormones.
Dosage: Take 20-30 drops 1-3x per day in juice or tea. You CAN take under your tongue if you want. It is just easier to get down when putting in juice. This tincture works best if you take it every day over time.
Why are tinctures a preferred method of taking herbs? Because tinctures are potent! You don’t waste your money on pills that have been in the manufacturing process for months / years and lose potency! With an alcohol base, the tinctures pull out all the medicinal benefits of the plant, and preserve them naturally for you! They don’t lose potency over time. If you forget about this formula in your cupboard and find it in 5 years, you can still take it! It will still be potent! Isn't that cool?
A question I get asked a lot is about the dosage for kids or babies. This formula shouldn't be given to young children, but it might be helpful for teenagers who have erratic menstrual cycles. The female formula is another formula I offer, and it is AMAZING for menstrual cramps. Like it is THE BOMB!
Now, the ingredients.
Black Cohosh: Musculoskeletal, respiratory, and female reproductive systems. The anti-spasmodic and analgesic actions on the female reproductive system make it useful for treating spasmodic dysmenorrhea or any spasm or tension of the female organs. Has been researched and utilized extensively in the management of menopausal symptoms.
Bugleweed: It is used to treat premenstrual syndrome and related issues; breast pain; nervousness; trouble sleeping (insomnia); and bleeding, especially nosebleeds and heavy bleeding during menstruation. Also used for menopause.
Red Clover: A sweet, cooling and tasty herb, red clover is clearing and mildly nutritive. It has affinities with the respiratory, circulatory and lymphatic systems and is known as a relaxing expectorant and a “blood cleanser”. It has a reputation as a remedy for coughs, skin issues, & lymphatic indications. Also has phytoestrogenic properties and can help alleviate menopause symptoms.
Dong Quai: Is commonly used to support and maintain normal reproductive function. Regulates menstruation in any cases of pelvic congestion or blood stasis. Relieves dysmenorrhea and chronic pelvic pain (e.g. menstrual clots, uterine fibroids, endometriosis), amenorrhea, PMS, menopausal symptoms and infertility. Thought to “lessen pelvic congestion”, and relieve pain from obstructed blood stasis, also acting as a mild laxative.
Licorice: As an adaptogen, it is specific for the treatment of peptic ulcers and Addison’s disease. Also used for adrenal insufficiency, corticosteroid withdrawal, hypoglycemia and protection against cataracts in diabetes. Inflammatory conditions also benefit from it’s use such as allergies and autoimmune disease, lyme disease, and protects against carcinogens. It will soothe gastrointestinal inflammation and irritations such as GERD, gastritis, IBD, and ulcers. For rheumatism, muscle spasm & cramps, and joint inflammation it can be used both internally and topically.
