For the treatment of menstrual pain and discomfort.

Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) has a long history of use in herbal medicine, particularly for alleviating menstrual pain and regulating menstrual cycles. Known for its emmenagogue properties, yarrow helps stimulate blood flow in the pelvic area, making it effective for easing menstrual cramps and reducing excessive menstrual bleeding. The herb’s active compounds, including flavonoids and volatile oils, contribute to its ability to relax uterine muscles and reduce inflammation, offering relief from discomfort during menstruation. Traditionally, yarrow has been used in teas, tinctures, and compresses to address menstrual issues. Today, it remains a popular natural remedy for women seeking relief from menstrual pain and irregularities.

Fertility

Helps to support healthy ovarian function, regulate hormone levels and reduce insulin resistance.

Black Cohosh and St. John’s Wort are two herbs widely used to alleviate menopausal symptoms, offering natural relief for women during this transitional phase. Black Cohosh is particularly effective in managing hot flashes, night sweats, and hormonal imbalances due to its phytoestrogenic properties, which mimic estrogen and help balance hormone levels. Traditionally used by Native American tribes, it continues to be a popular alternative to hormone replacement therapy, often taken as capsules, tinctures, or teas. St. John’s Wort, on the other hand, is renowned for its antidepressant effects, helping to regulate mood swings, anxiety, and depression that can accompany menopause. Containing compounds like hypericin and hyperforin, it supports emotional well-being by stabilizing neurotransmitters like serotonin. Both herbs can be used together or separately to address the physical and emotional challenges of menopause. Together, they provide a holistic approach to managing menopausal symptoms naturally and effectively

Frequently Asked Questions

Salome Menstrual Pain

The active ingredient in Salome Menstrual Pain- Yarrow,  contains chemical compounds including flavonoids and alkaloids. While different alkaloids have a wide variety of pharmacological actions, flavonoids have anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and anti-oxidative action.

It can be as effective as an antiprostaglandin (NSAID) in treating the initial painful menstruation.

Salome PreMens

The mechanism of action of Vitex Agnus Castus (VAC)  may be related to its action on the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, hormone-secreting areas of the brain, leading to reduced production of the hormone prolactin which is thought to play a role in premenstrual syndrome.

VAC is considered a progestogenic herb (increases progesterone) as it encourages ovulation, increases progesterone, and helps rebalance estrogen/progesterone ratios
