Wild Yam:
- In the 1950's, scientists discovered that the roots of wild yam contain diosgenin. Diosgenin is a phytoestrogen, or plant-based estrogen, that can be chemically converted into a hormone called progesterone. Diosgenin was used to make the first birth control pills in the 1960s.
- Traditionally Native Americans and early Americans have used wild yam for "female problems" lower stomach pains, gall bladder pains, joint pain and as an energy source.
False Unicorn Root:

It was recommended for many women’s health conditions, including painful menstruation and other irregularities of menstruation. False unicorn was also used for pregnant women who dealt with morning sickness.
- Phytochemically, the steroidal saponins chamaelirin and diosgenin have been identified in false unicorn, and are postulated to exert an estrogen-modulating activity via interaction with estrogen receptor sites of the hypothalamus.
Lady's Mantle:
- The plant is rich in tannins, salicylic acid, essential oil, bitter substances and phytosterols. It also contains vitamin C and numerous minerals.
- Many of the herb’s constituents, especially the tannins and the bitter substances, are thought to have a balancing and regulating effect on the female reproductive system.

Hormonal Balance is Crucial for Women's Health!
Hormones are incredible chemical messengers in our body that affect our brain, heart, bones, muscles, and reproductive organs. They are an essential part of the workings of every cell in the human body.
- Hormones work best when balanced. However, hormones can become imbalanced.
- Many hormonal changes occur during the teenage years that have an effect on hormone balance.
- Young women often get their first periods during early adolescence, and many young girls experience symptoms such as acne, oily hair, mood swings and menstrual cramps.
- Hormonal imbalances don't stop during the teenage years. Menstrating women also experience hormonal imbalances.
- Estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone fluctuate during a woman's menstrual cycle. Areas of the brain called hippocampus, hypothalamus, and the amygdala tend to be affected the most by the estrogen-progesterone surges and drops.
- Hormone restoration is a key to a woman's health.
Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS)
- PMS has a wide variety of symptoms including:
- mood swings
- tender breasts
- food cravings
- fatigue
- irritability
- depression.
- It's estimated that as many as 3 of every 4 menstruating women have experienced some form of premenstrual syndrome.
- PMS is thought to be associated with the surges of estrogen, progesterone and testoterone. Those surges cause imbalanced hormones.
It is easy to see with all the chemicals and synthetic hormones we are exposed to, plus the added stresses of life, how our hormones could be affected. And how there is a need to find a way to mitigate the symptoms of premenstural syndrome. Whether or not you do go for treatment, it is important to be aware of your cycles and to recognize symptoms as they occur. Knowing when PMS may rear its ugly head and planning accordingly can make a big difference in your life.
