How It Works

Black Cohosh

Black cohosh root is widely known for supporting the mature woman’s body as she encounters normal glandular challenges and physical changes. Women have used it for decades to help “keep cool” during menopause.

Black cohosh possesses mild estrogenic properties (phytoestrogens) and helps balance female hormone levels by binding to estrogen receptor sites.

Balanced hormone levels help ease common menopausal symptoms. Low estrogen levels have been linked to common female reproductive problems.

By supporting healthy hormone balance, black cohosh may help support a positive mood and help lift mild mood changes (so-called dark moods) that often accompany female discomfort.

And, black cohosh relaxes muscle spasms and helps ease nervous tension.

In 2001, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists stated that black cohosh can be effective for women with menopausal symptoms, particularly hot flashes.

Dong Quai

Dong quai root, pronounced “don kwy,” is considered the queen of herbs by the Chinese.

It is China’s most popular herb for women and contains nutrients that female glands need.

Dong quai has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for thousands of years, specifically for symptoms related to a woman's cycle and sexual health.

Also known as female ginseng, dong quai supports the circulatory, nervous and immune systems.

Chinese physicians use dong quai to enrich the blood and promote circulation, as well as regulate menstruation, provide support during menopause, calm the nerves, and soothe the intestines.
