Herbs For Women's Wellness:

Herbs such as chaste tree (Vitex agnus-castus) are renowned for their ability to regulate menstrual cycles and alleviate symptoms of premenstrual syndrome by influencing pituitary gland function.

Each of these herbs interacts with the endocrine system in different ways, offering holistic support for women’s hormonal health.

Last month, I finished the Eagleman 70.3 on the Eastern Shore of Maryland—my first tri event since the turn of the century (1999)! I recently relocated with my family from Northern California to Delaware, and found Melissa through some folks at the local bike shop here. Melissa was great to work with and she got me through 6 months of training. My body is feeling so strong with the herbal medicine support!
Melissa’s expertise on herbal supplements has been a game changer for me the past few months. In addition to aiding with recovery from a recent surgery, her insight has helped lessen my dependence on prescription sleeping meds. Thank you so much!
