Womb Wisdom Tincture, 2oz

I recommend this tincture for individuals with a female reproductive system that are struggling with deeper imbalances with their menstrual cycle. This formula may be helpful for those experiencing the following:

• irregular periods
• painful periods
• PMDD
• fertility issues
• a short luteal phase
• endometriosis & PCOS
• low libido, vaginal dryness

This formula is also helpful for use throughout perimenopause as it may improve function of the endocrine system and liver. Shatavari, a rejuvinative female reproductive tonic from India, contains compounds that mimic natural precursors to female hormones. Wild yam has been used for centuries as a natural source of progesterone, and vitex may help reduce symptoms associated with perimenopause.

Get to know the plants:

Vitex: has a stimulating effect on the pituitary gland, which regulates and normalizes hormone production. Vitex increases the production of luteinizing hormones, enhancing the progesterone cycle and often lengthening a short luteal phase (an indicator of poor fertility). This plant also helps to inhibit the release of FSH (follicle stimulating hormone), normalizing the estrogen cycle. An overall excellent herb for promoting more estrogen/progesterone balance. Excellent for PMS/PMDD, menopausal symptoms, painful periods, endometriosis.

Wild Yam: helps to regulate the ratio of estrogen to progesterone in the system. Used for menstrual irregularity, painful periods, miscarriage, infertility, menopause, and endometriosis. This plant is unique in that along with its affinity for the female reproductive system it is also widely used as a liver tonic. Most hormonal imbalances are due in part to a poorly functioning liver, so this plant works on both systems. Wild yam is also a powerful antispasmodic, helping to relieve muscle spasms and uterine cramps.

Dong Quai: often referred to as the "female ginseng", due to its tonifying and strengthening action on the female system. This plant has a positive action on the liver and endocrine system, and therefore indirectly helps encourage hormonal balance. Dong quai nourishes the blood, cleanses the liver, and has mild nervine properties that provide a sense of calm to an overworked system.

Shatavari: an incredible Ayurvedic herb that is referred to as Rasayana, whole-body tonic. Shatavari is an adaptogenic plant that belongs to the asparagus family, and is used for increasing libido, normalizing hormone production, and rejuvenating the female reproductive system and body as a whole.

Sage: a natural remedy for hot flashes during perimenopause and a tea used around the world said to strengthen the female reproductive system
