Many women are familiar with it: Days before the period, everything changes – mood, skin, energy.
The so-called premenstrual syndrome (PMS) affects up to 80% of all menstruating women of childbearing age. Symptoms such as irritability, breast tenderness, or water retention are not a "normal part of being a woman" – they are a sign of hormonal imbalance.
Fortunately, there are gentle, natural ways to restore balance to your cycle.
These 3 herbs can help you:
🌿 1. Lady's Mantle (Alchemilla vulgaris)
The all-rounder in women's health! Lady's Mantle has a cycle- and hormone-regulating effect and promotes progesterone production, which can alleviate PMS symptoms – especially when they occur in the second half of the cycle.
Tip: 2 cups daily – preferably as tea – can be consumed during both the first and second halves of the cycle.
🌿 2. Yarrow (Achillea millefolium)
It has antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory effects – perfect if you suffer from abdominal pain. The bitter compounds in yarrow also support the liver, helping to flush out excess hormones.
Tip: In combination with lady's mantle – e.g., as a tea blend.
🌿 3. Chaste Tree (Vitex agnus-castus)
It has a hormone-regulating effect and is believed to help restore hormonal balance between the two hormones estrogen and progesterone. Additionally, chaste tree can reduce elevated prolactin levels, improve cycle irregularities, PMS, and even breast tenderness.
Tip: It can be taken from ovulation onwards to support progesterone levels, either as a pure supplement or in combination formulas.
Conclusion:
PMS is not a whim of nature – it’s a sign that your body needs support!
