In this time of transition, in a woman’s life, oestrogen and progesterone levels drop and women can experience a wide array of uncomfortable and unwelcome symptoms. These include hot flushes, sweating, insomnia, irritability, depression, lack of concentration and joint pain. A healthy Diet, moderate exercise, a positive outlook and attitude to the change, have all been shown to reduce symptoms. The herbal formula above is carefully designed to help with a range of the most common peri-menopausal symptoms. This remedy needs to be taken for at least three months to gain the maximum benefits.

Black Cohosh Has been the subject of a number of double–blind studies showing favourable results for treating hot flushes and also vaginal dryness. It contains phyto–oestrogens which bond to oestrogen receptor sites in the body.
Sage Yes common sage is a specific remedy for sweating. Some of its essential oil constituents have oestrogenic actions.
Schizandra As my Chinese medicine teacher told me 'calms the mind and soothes the heart' and who can resist a herb with such a claim. This red berry is a Chinese tonic herb, and strengthens and tones throughout the body. It is also specific for alleviating sweating.
Chaste berry Originating in the Mediterranean, this shrub was written about by the ancient Greeks for its hormonal actions on both men and women. Vestal virgins in Rome wore sprigs of it in their hair. It has been identified as having a powerful effect on the luteal (after ovulation) phase of the menstrual cycle and can reduce many pre- menstrual complaints. In peri-menopausal women it can initiate regular ovulation thereby regulating the menstrual cycle.
St Johns wort A remedy for the nervous system with an affinity for the menopausal woman. Well known for treating depression St Johns herb is also an excellent remedy for anxiety, and general nerve tonic; helping one remain calm and composed.
