Menopause is more than a phase; it's a powerful transition. With the right herbal allies, we can move beyond just relieving symptoms and embrace this time as a window of opportunity for long-term wellness.

✨ Here are some of nature’s most trusted herbal supporters:
1) Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) - Supports oestrogen levels in perimenopause and is traditionally used in Ayurveda as an adaptogen to support healthy sleep and stress resilience.

2) Ziziphus (Ziziphus jujuba) – Traditionally used in Chinese medicine for its sedative and anxiolytic properties to support sleep regulation and nervous system balance.

3) Milk Thistle (Silybum marianum) – Known for its hepatoprotective effects and reducing hot flush frequency and severity.

4) Sage (Salvia officinalis) - Traditionally used in Western herbal medicine to relieve spontaneous and excessive sweating.

5) Rehmannia (Rehmannia glutinosa) – A kidney yin tonic in Traditional Chinese Medicine, used to support healthy adrenal gland function, and relieve sleeplessness and excessive sweating.
