Shepherd’s Purse
Shepherd’s purse has strong astringents, which are compounds that constrict blood vessels and slow bleeding. From the time of Hippocrates until World War I, shepherd’s purse was used to help stop bleeding.
    For a woman of menstruating age, this herb helps to prevent or relieve excessive bleeding, reduce and shorten the length of menstrual flow, and regulate menstrual cycles. Shepherd’s purse is a pituitary regulator with one of it’s primary attributes being its ability to normalize progesterone levels. For this reason it can also help women moving into menopause who have been experiencing excessive, irregular bleeding or spotting. For them, it can help to regulate and increase the length of the menstrual cycle until the natural cessation of menses.

Dong Quai
    Dong quai is an herb that’s been used for over a thousand years for various women’s ailments. Nicknamed“female ginseng,” it is seen as one of the foremost herbs for easing symptoms of both menopause and PMS. Dong quai contains phytoestrogens that bind to the estrogen receptors, thereby helping regulate the levels of estrogen and progesterone in the body (menopausal and PMS symptoms are often caused by fluctuating progesterone and estrogen levels). It also helps dilate the blood vessels, which increases blood flow and contains mild sedative properties that help reduce stress and mood swings. These effects help to reduce a variety of menopausal and menstrual symptoms, in particular, it helps to relieve hot flashes, vaginal dryness, irregular bleeding, stress, and mood swings during menopause and cramping, water retention, heavy bleeding, moodiness, and breast tenderness during PMS. Clinical studies have shown up to a 25% decrease in the severity of PMS and menopausal symptoms when taking dong quai.

Cat’s Claw
Has very powerful anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce pain and swelling – this is particularly beneficial to help ease pain during menstruation. Naturally regulates hormonal imbalances and helps to promote healthy regular blood flow. Cat’s claw also contains diuretic properties that help to relieve fluid retention and the bloated feelings that often accompany PMS and menstruation.
