Herbs that are great for women!!!

Welcome back to our blog!  Today I wanted to talk briefly about some of my favorite herbs that I like to use for women health. This particular day is what I like to call yoni steam day! It comes twice a month and on those days I am most relaxed and in need of some self care. Now here are a few reasons I steam. Bad PMS, Bad cramps, heavy bleeding, back pain,& prolonged cycles. Those are my main reasons for steaming. Yoni steaming has so many benefits! I cannot stress that enough!  Teas, yoni steams, capsules, blended with smoothies etc etc. Steaming is  just the way I like to use some of these herbs. Below is a list of herbs that you can incorporate in your daily life (with the help of a herbalist) that could benefit you greatly. 
RED RASPBERRY LEAF- Raspberry tones the lower body organs such as the pelvis muscles which helps to ease difficulties associated with uterine disorders.
BLESSED THISTLE-  used to bring on suppressed cycles, eases menstrual tension and aches.  Also helps regulate hormonal balance. 
CRAMP BARK- It's literally used for cramps. Lowers body stress & eases menstrual cramps.
DONG QUAI- Also known as the supreme women root. it can be used for PMS & menopause. 
FEVERFEW- used for headaches, eases tension, helps initiate blood flow.

PAU D ARCO- this bark is used to fight candida! its an amazing herb to have on hand. 
CLEAVERS- helps with menstruation, PMS, & UTI
LADY'S MANTEL- anti inflammatory and astringent, great for regulating menstruation
I could go on but that is just a few of the herbs that help benefit us and our body through all the changes we go through. WARNING!!!!! DO NOT GO AND DECIDE TO BLEND ALL THESE HERBS TOGETHER! YOU NEED TO WORK WITH A HERBALIST OR DO TONS OF RESEARCH BEFORE YOU CAN REACH THIS LEVEL.  I say that with you in mind.
