Product Details

Characteristics and function:

Designed for women, this formula is used to correct hormonal imbalances such as those occurring at puberty, after pregnancy, menopause, upon the cessation of birth control pill usage or after a hysterectomy. It has also been found to be very useful for alleviating discomfort due to menstrual cramps and reducing edema and depressions associated with the menstrual cycle. It may also strengthen the female organs. Femaherb has also been used for hormonal irregularities in men and is especially effective in the first stages of hormone-related balding.

Dong quai, sometimes considered "female ginseng," has many positive effects on the female system. In Asia, it is commonly used for menstrual irregularities, for menopause, for recuperating after childbirth and has been shown to be very helpful for women coming off hormone replacement therapy. Dong quai is more than its reputation as a "female herb" though. It is quite appropriate for building up the system after being sick, fortifying the blood and enhancing metabolism and oxygen utilization in the liver. Dong quai has also been shown to slow down male pattern baldness, to strengthen the heart, prevent atherosclerosis, prevent lipid deposits, function as an antibacterial agent and work as a calming agent. Black cohosh and blue cohosh help support the nervous and glandular system. Both of these (along with blessed thistle) are emmenagogues used both to buildup and regulate the female reproductive system
