What makes motherwort unique is her toning effect in addition to pain relief. Motherwort tones the uterine muscle and eventually--usually within four months, has been shown to relieve menstrual cramps.

And as good as it is for the uterus, it is for the heart. It can assist the growth of new heart vessels and improve the heart’s action. It can also be taken to soothe a broken heart because Motherwort, like its name, can bring relief to all pains.

Motherwort is a favourite ally of menopausal women; it aids with halting hot flushes, relieves rapid heartbeat, soothes frayed nerves, and helps the tears flow.

|| Lavender - Lavandula Hybrida ||

The name ‘lavender’ is derived from ‘lavare’, which means ‘to wash. This reflects the early use of lavender plants in bathhouses throughout Ancient Greece and Roman culture. We use lavender ndar in our steaming blends as a relaxant, to calm and soothe, skin disinfectant, muscle aches, anti-inflammatory and for scent.

Nettle has been shown to clear and firm skin, restore blood vessels' elasticity, lower blood pressure and cholesterol, counter incontinence, improve digestion, and reduce cancer risk.

A blend of Mandarin, Orange, Lemon & Kumquats. Citrus has been shown to strengthen the kidneys and is a mild-acting estrogen additionally acting as a digestive aid. They also contain limonene, a chemical that may protect against skin cancer.

The wonderful citrus aroma is another reason we have added this to our steaming blends.

|| Rose - Rosaceae ||

Roses are especially cherished as a remedy for "women's problems." The growing tips of the rose canes are rich in hormone-like substances that help women with menstrual difficulties get into an easy flow and those with libido problems to feel frisky. The antiseptic nature of rose petals makes them an excellent treatment for wounds, bruises, rashes, and incisions. Taken internally, their anti-inflammatory properties make them a perfect remedy for cleansing of both the womb and heart. They can stimulate the liver and increase appetite and circulation.

|| Red Clover ||

Plants contain many phytoestrogens; they have minerals and other constituents that help our bodies modify the phytoestrogens to use them safely. Red clover, for instance, is mineral-rich and contains all four significant phytoestrogens types: lignans, coumestans, isoflavones, and resorcylic acid lactones.

|| Sage - Salvia officinalis ||

Sage is Salvia, which means "saviour." As a member of the mint family, it has many of the healing properties of its sisters. Of particular note are the high calcium and other bone-building minerals in mints, including sage, and their exceptionally generous amounts of antioxidant vitamins.

Everywhere sage grows - from Japan to China, India, Russia, Europe and the Americas - people have valued it highly and used it as a preservative seasoning for fatty foods and medicine for various ills.
