Men’s Hormones & Steady Energy

Men’s hormones don’t cycle, but they react quickly to stress, sleep, digestion and ageing.

Common signs:
• Low motivation or drive
• Irritability or flat mood
• Morning fatigue
• Slower recovery
• Cold hands/feet
• Reduced stamina or libido

Support from the shelves:

🍆 Tongkat Ali — supports vitality, free testosterone and clean drive.

💪 Fadogia Agrestis — traditionally used for stamina, endurance and hormonal balance.

⛰️ Shilajit — deep mineral tonic for recovery, mitochondria and Kidney-Yang style strength.

🧂 Magnesium — eases tension, supports mood and deeper rest.

🅱️ Vitamin B6 — assists hormone production, energy metabolism and stress resilience.

Together, they support Yang, nourish reserves, and gently move the Liver Qi so energy flows rather than stalls.

TCM snapshot:
Warm Kidney Yang, support Spleen Qi, and move Liver Qi → energy becomes clear, steady and grounded, without agitation.

Women’s Hormones & Steady Energy - PMS

Women’s energy follows a rhythm. When hormones slip out of sync, it shows quickly.

Common signs:
• Low mood or irritability
• Heavy or inconsistent cycles
• Afternoon energy dips
• Cravings / fluid retention
• Poor sleep
• Feeling overwhelmed or “thin-skinned”

Support from the shelves:
Hormones are complex and symptoms can have many roots, but these products are chosen for their specific support around PMS.

💚Dr.Vegan PMS Hero — Shatavari + Dang Gui to nourish Blood, support mood, and smooth the Qi.

💜A.Vogel PMS Drops — Agnus Castus for progesterone balance + emotional steadiness.

♥️A.Vogel PMS Tablets — phytoestrogens for low-oestrogen phases & fatigue.

💙Magnesium Bisglycinate — eases tension, irritability and supports deeper sleep.

🧡Vitamin B6 — supports hormonal metabolism, mood, and reduces PMS-related dips.

TCM snapshot:
Strengthen Liver Blood, support Spleen Qi, nourish Kidney Essence, and smooth the Qi → energy becomes stable, cycles calmer, mood smoother.

Todmorden Christmas lights are on and the Landmark Wreath Trail begins (just waiting for the main tree to be switched on now! 🎄🥴 )

It’s been lovely seeing and hearing kids outside the shop (despite the downpours) on the hunt for wreath letters.

Spot the wreaths and the guide mistake!🤦🏻‍♂️

Have a great weekend 💚

The Todmorden business & market lights are all bright with the Visit Todmorden coordinated light switch on.🎄

Britain in the 1950s was still half-in and half-out of pre-NHS folk medicine culture. People weren’t idiots — they were making sense of illness using whatever frameworks they inherited. Whicker loved that slightly eccentric British improvisation.

Onions, sweaty socks, grease chest rubs, mustard plasters — all different spins on the same idea:
heat, circulation, stimulation, and ritual comfort

Q : What’s your go to for colds/flu?
