About the
Formula
Vitex: a balancing superstar
Chaste Tree Berry, also known as “Vitex,” has been shown to have hormone modulating properties thanks to its ability to support the HPO (hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian) axis.
By helping to support balanced estrogen and progesterone levels from the top-down, Vitex helps to ease mild PMS symptoms pertaining to mood, cramping, breast tenderness, blemishes and more. In traditional herbalism, this herb is known as a “pituitary amphoteric” or an overall endocrine normalizer specific to sex hormone balance.*
Dong Quai for healthy hormones
Angelica Sinensis, or Dong Quai Root, helps maintain normal estrogen levels while nurturing healthy blood flow to help with a smooth flow each month. Traditionally, this herb is known to help relieve cramps and calm the “Shen” or spirit (which is related to how calm we feel and how well we sleep), since it is considered a “blood tonic” in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
In TCM, deficient ‘blood’ can disturb the heart meridian, contributing to cloudy thinking, a sense of overall tension, occasional restless sleep and a sense of nervousness. Many women can relate to this feeling before or during their monthly cycle, which is where Dong Quai supports from several different angles.*
Benefits & Uses

- Helps ease minor symptoms to PMS

- Assists mild cramps and smooth flow
- Contains herbs known as hormone modulators or supporters, along with HPA axis regulating botanicals for a top-down approach*
Liver support is key
Proper liver function is essential to overall health as your liver helps remove waste products, metabolizes hormones, and aids in the elimination of environmental substances. The way the body metabolizes hormones is key, as normal and healthy liver detoxification helps us get rid of excess estrogen each month, which can contribute to minor PMS symptoms and discomfort.
Oregon Grape Root is a key ingredient in our Flow Balance formulation, as it supports healthy liver detoxification pathways, normal bile flow, and healthy digestion of fats which are also required for hormone health.*
The story
behind the formula
No one wants to deal with PMS symptoms each month, no matter how minor or mild. Our cycles shouldn’t be something we fear, but rather something we look forward to in order to learn about how our bodies are responding to our diet, habits, schedule, and demands that month — after all, menstruation is truly our fifth vital sign. Your period can tell you so much about the state of your body, and as an herbalist I want to make sure I’m supporting you in your quest for a healthy monthly report card.
Luckily, the plant kingdom has much to offer us in terms of hormone supporters, modulators, and normalizers (as well as relaxing herbs to make sure blood flow is smooth and comfortable). This is one of the formulas I was most excited to create, because I knew just how many women would benefit from this blend of herbal allies. I hope this formula helps you get more of your month back as it encourages you to embrace the power that comes with your cycle.*
