This formula offers a well-rounded approach to easing the physical and emotional discomforts associated with PMS. Here's a breakdown of how each herb contributes to PMS relief:
Herb Profiles:
1. Nettle (Urtica dioica):
- Benefits: Nettle is rich in minerals, particularly iron, which is beneficial for overall energy levels, especially if fatigue is a PMS symptom. It also has anti-inflammatory properties and can help reduce water retention and bloating.
2. Borage (Borago officinalis):
- Benefits: Borage is known for its high gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) content, which can help balance hormones and reduce PMS-related breast tenderness, mood swings, and skin issues.
3. Calendula (Calendula officinalis):
- Benefits: Calendula has anti-inflammatory and mild estrogenic properties. It can help ease cramps, soothe digestive upset, and support skin health, which can be helpful if you experience breakouts related to PMS.
4. Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla):
- Benefits: Chamomile is well-known for its calming effects on the nervous system, helping to reduce anxiety, irritability, and promote better sleep. It also has anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic properties, making it useful for easing cramps.
5. Sweet Marjoram (Origanum majorana):
- Benefits: Sweet marjoram is known for its calming effects and ability to relieve menstrual cramps, tension, and digestive issues. It also has mild hormone-balancing properties.
Dosage:
- Take 30-60 drops (about 1-2 droppers full) 2-3 times daily, particularly in the week leading up to your period.
How It Works:
- Balancing and Nourishing: This formula provides mineral support (nettle), hormone balance (borage), and soothing anti-inflammatory properties (calendula).
- Calming and Antispasmodic: Chamomile and sweet marjoram contribute to relaxation and cramp relief.
Cautions:
- As with any herbal tincture, consult with a healthcare provider before use, particularly if you are pregnant, nursing, or taking other medications.
