Lafam |
|
 |
This formula contains both wild mexican yam and don quai. As the name implies, one of these herbs has spread from its indigenous use in Mexico, while the other is an ancient Chinese herb used for centuries for a variety of women's health issues from PMT and menopause to hormone balancing particularly where progesterone is low. Lafam is one of our best received female health supplements. |
St John's Wort |
|
 |
St John's Wort has a 2000 year history as a medicinal herb, with reported uses as diverse as pain relief and diuretic actions to uterine health support, use for painful, irregular or heavy periods and for depression, melancholia or mood swings particularly during the menopause. Much of this is now in the preclinical observation stage as far as Western scientific rigor is concerned. |
Mexican Wild Yam |
|
 |
Mexican Wild Yam capsules and tinctures are amongst the best known female health tonics. Wild Yam's key nutrients are precursors of DHEA & natural progesterone. Wild Yam is often reached for by herbalists managing cases of hot flushes, low thyroid function, weight gain, irritability, low energy, lethargy and particularly when these issues are presenting in women of perimenopausal and menopausal age. |
