Menopause Tincture

Far from being a negative experience, Chinese wisdom sees perimenopause and menopause as a deep energy shift – a time to heal and undergo transformation.

However, we sometimes do need extra support with the symptoms that accompany this profound change. This tincture contains extracts of 4 herbs which can support women through the transition of menopause. This blend of sage, ashwagandha, agnus castus and red clover provides natural, nourishing support to your body throughout this transition. 

Medical herbalist Ross Menzies and his wife Katrina grow everything organically and you can really feel the care and love that has gone into these tinctures. 

 

Product includes 1 x 50ml Tincture

Directions for use: Adults: 30 drops in a little hot water up to 3 times daily. 

Ingredients:

• Salvia officinalis (Sage) * - included for its strenthening and mildly phyto - oestrogenic properties. It is known to be especially helpful with hot flushes and night sweats. Sage has also been shown to improve cognition and memory and so may help with brain fog and lack of mental clarity. Sage contains plant oestrogens so is best avoided by people taking oestrogen blocking medication.
• Withania somniferum (Ashwagandha)* - known as an 'adaptogen', meaning a herb that has a generalised strenthening and tonic effect, especially helpful in times of stress, depletion and transition. Ashwaganda is also used to encourage a restful sleep and to calm an over anxious or stressed nervous system. It may also help with oestrogen dominance on account of its anti oxidant properties.
• Vitex agnus castus (Chaste Berry)* - this is a herb we have found to be very helpful in supporting women to restore hormone balance . It can be relevant with PMT, infertility and also leading up to and around the menopause. There is a lot of research showing it can reduce many of the symptoms of perimenopause and we have certainly found this to be the case..
• Trifolium praetense (Red Clover)* - included in this blend for a number of reasons. It contains isoflavones and these chemicals have been shown in trials to help reduce many of the uncomfortable symptoms sometimes associated with menopause. It is also used by herbalists as a gentle blood tonic and cleansing remedy, thereby helping ensure a healthy and smooth transition into menopause.
• Ethanol - herbal tinctures contains ethanol. It is used as a highly effective means to extract the medicinal chemicals from the fresh plants and also  preserves the remedy for several years. Adding the tincture to hot water and leaving for a few minutes helps a lot of the alcohol to evaporate.
• Water
