Estro Balance with Vitex

You know all too well the discomfort you feel when you’re sitting down talking to a friend and suddenly feel that unmistakable flush of heat rushing up through your body and to your face. This can be very uncomfortable, let alone downright annoying!

At night, you lie there unable to sleep, drenched in sweat. You notice that you are now moodier and more irritable than you were before, and that little things that had never bothered you before are now really getting on your nerves. Everyone around you has noticed the change in you. Your menstruation is erratic and you’re feeling uncomfortable most of the time. In short, you may be going through Menopause.

Is this the perfect remedy for relieving the distress of menopause?

Menopause is NOT a disease that needs ‘curing’, it is just a passing phase in a woman’s life, and it should definitely not be a life sentence! It is important to realise that menopause is not something new, it has been around since time began. Women have been going through menopause since the year dot!

What that means is that a lot of experience on how to deal with menopause has accumulated over centuries. Long before drugs were thought of, women were cruising through menopause without a care in the world. What did they do?

They used natural herbs. Herbs found to be helpful for millions of women through centuries, acknowledged through use and observation. These women were experts at what worked for them and what didn’t. Estro Balance® plus Vitex contains a special combination of herbs and nutrients to help balance the effects of the changes happening within your body during the menopausal transition period.

These changes can often make you feel tense, anxious, irritable and generally unwilling to face the rigours of the day. Not only that, these changes can make you suffer unnecessarily with symptoms such as mood changes and hot flushes.

With Estro-Balance® plus Vitex, your body will feel balanced, soothed, and help you to stay calm and in control, while at the same time, helping to relieve many other symptoms associated with menopause.

These time-tested secrets are now here for you!

Estro Balance® plus Vitex contains six herbs which have been traditionally used to aid in the relief of symptoms associated with menopause.

Let’s first take a look at the herbs. Remember, these have been used for years and found by women to be wonderfully helpful. These herbs have been tested in the laboratory of Life!

Sage

Native to Mediterranean Europe, Sage is a well known herb that has been used traditionally for many years. As it’s primary action is as an anti-diaphoretic, that is, it helps to reduce sweating1 in the body, Sage can be useful in helping to ease menopausal symptoms such as night sweats.

Motherwort

Motherwort is a great herb which has been used for centuries particularly for female complaints. It is also a great nerve tonic.2 As your body may present with symptoms such as nervous tension or mood swings during the menopausal transition period, Motherwort can be quite beneficial.

Vitex Agnus-Castus Fruit (Chaste Tree)

Chaste Tree has been used in ancient times for a variety of Gynaecological conditions. Chaste Tree may assist in the symptomatic relief of irritability, mood swings, tension, anger, breast fullness and tenderness associated with Pre-menstrual tension. Chaste Tree may also assist with menstrual conditions such as heavy or irregular periods.

Astragalus & Withania

Astragalus is a popular Chinese herb which has been used traditionally for over five hundred years to help with a variety of health concerns. One of the primary actions of Astragalus is its adaptogenic action, which assists the body in coping with stress.3, 4 Withania is an Ayurvedic herb and also has adaptogenic properties, helping the body to cope with stress, mild anxiety & through times of change.5
