• Valerian: Good for relieving menstrual cramps
• Dandelion Leaf: Reduces high estrogen levels.

Preparation: 1/2 to 1 cup of the herb for 1 each cup of water; simmer for 30-40 minutes
• Stinging Nettle: the astringency that the herb provides combats excessive menstrual flow.
• Red Raspberry Leaf Tea (A WINNER!)- Red Raspberry decreases menstrual bleeding, bloating, relaxes uterine and intestinal spasms, and strengthens the uterine walls. If taken a few days before and during the menstrual cycle (2-3 servings a day), you will notice that you will feel less bloated, and experience less pain.

Have You Considered Naturopathic ADHD Solutions?

Naturopathic ADHD treatment strategies can include many different areas like diet adjustments, herbal remedies, homeopathy, behavior modification and bodywork among other options.

Adult mood swings and child behavior problems may be due in part to blood sugar variations as a result of hypoglycemia. This can be addressed by assessing dietary intake of protein, carbohydrates and fat and making necessary adjustments.

Medicinal and Aromatic Plants: Smoking Blend and Mix for Smoke

Some of the most flavorful smoking ingredients need to actually dry slow, and cure, but the majority are best picked fresh and just not dried completely. Package in an airtight container. Read more…
