Herbal Medicine - Women's Health
Herbal medicine is able to support you through all the stages of your life as a woman. Women have different needs and challenges depending on which phase they are going through; puberty, young adulthood, fertility, pregnancy, post birth, peri-menopause, menopause and post menopause. For those of you who choose not to have children your hormonal balance is still just as important due to its effect on other areas of your mental and physical wellbeing.
