Herbs in Action Vitex berry: Vitex agnus-castus, also known as Chaste berry, is a plant that has been used for wellness purposes for thousands of years. Vitex supports hormonal balance and has an affinity for the female reproductive system. This herb encourages healthy menstrual cycles and supports progesterone balance. Vitex also helps soothe occasional cycle-related discomforts and supports emotional balance during monthly cycles. Black Cohosh root: Actaea racemosa is most often used to ease cramps and menopausal discomforts such as night sweats, hot flashes, irritability, and sleep disturbances. Burdock root: Arctium lappa is a powerhouse of nutrients that acts as a free radical scavenger, helping to support the body's natural balance and homeostasis. Burdock may help support the body's natural cleansing processes and waste elimination. It supports hormonal balance throughout natural cycles, making it valuable herbal support during times of hormonal transition such as menopause. Wild Yam Root: Dioscorea villosa has been used in folk medicine since the 18th century to treat menstrual cramps and various discomforts. The root is most popular for its affinity for the female system, where it influences hormone balances to benefit discomforts associated with menstruation.
