Let's begin with Angelica, called Herb of Angels, and one of my favorite herbs for women. The roots and leaves of European angelica (Angelica archangelica) and dong gui (A. sinensis), its Asian cousin, are warming, strengthening, and energizing to the reproductive organs, as well as the digestive, circulatory and endocrine systems. Women who integrate angelica/dong gui into their weekly self nourishment program often experience side effects which include, but are not limited to, increased sexual pleasure and libido, the alleviation of constipation, a rosy complexion and sound sleep. Both angelicas are brimming with antioxidants, including rich stores of vitamins A, B, (especially B12) and E. Those B vitamins, in combination with abundant niacin, magnesium and calcium, help strengthen the nerves, relieving tension and promoting sleep. And all that vitamin E helps to keep skin, internal organs and tissues - especially those of the bladder and vagina - well lubricated, moist and flexible. The angelica's high iron content nourishes and builds blood, prevents anemia and increases vital energy. Generous supplies of phytosterols (horishes and builds blood, prevents anemia and increases vital energy. Generous supplies of phytosterols (hormonal precursors found in plants), glycocides, saponins and flavonoids support the body's production of all important hormones, stabilizing emotional swings, and easing hot flashes, irritability and hormone related headaches. Both these herbs are also rich in coumarin derivatives, which promote antispasmodic and vasodilatory effects, and therefore are useful in relieving muscle tension and painful menstrual cramps. Coumarins are nourishing to the heart and circulatory system. They lower blood pressure and thin the blood, thus reducing risk of stroke. The angelicas also contain limonene, which detoxify carcinogens and disrupt the growth of cancerous changes within the cells.
Ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) has been in use for at least 5,000 years. Ginseng root has been verified by scientists to be energizing, rejuvenating and immunoprotective. It is loaded with antioxidants, rich in phytosterols, offering an abundant supply of essential fatty acids, minerals (especially calcium), vitamin B complex and vitamin D. Its abundance of plant hormones and other nutrients are particularly necessary for our glandular systems, and help our body to balance production of both estrogen and progesterone. Regular use is associated with relieving even the most severe premenstrual and menopausal problems. American Indian women and ancient Chinese legends consider ginseng to be a fertility aid. Ginseng helps anytime you are under stress, whether physical or mental. It helps relieve anxiety and depression and greatly strengthens the adrenal system. Ginseng rebuilds vitality, increases energy and stamina, and reduces fatigue. It is useful when trying to regulate blood sugar levels, and regular use helps reduce the risk of adult onset diabetes. Ginseng has also been clinically proven to lower blood pressure and to nourish and strengthen the heart and circulatory system. The effects of ginseng are neutralized by vitamin C, so let at least three hours pass between taking either of them. Ginseng's effects are doubled by taking it with foods rich in vitamin E. A typical dose of ginseng? Try chewing a piece of dried root the size of your pinkie finger nail, drink one cup of infusion, or take 10 to 40 drops of tincture daily. Do not use while pregnant.
Red Raspberry (Rubus idaeus) leaves are loaded with calcium, iron, phosphorus and potassium, and brimming with vitamins B, C and E. They are highly regarded as a female tonic due to their high content of fragrine, an alkaloid which is strenthening to the entire pelvic region, most especially the uterus and ovaries. Red raspberry leaves are taken by women all over the world during pregnancy to strengthen and tone the uterus in preparation for childbirth. The high calcium content of the leaves helps nourish the nervous system and relieve pain, and so drinking the infusion during light labour is a good idea if pain becomes an issue. Drinking the infusion in the morning will help allay nausea and relieve morning sickness. Raspberry leaves are an excellent fertility enhancing herb, and are often combined with red clover blossoms to promote conception and a successful, full term pregnancy. The abundant calcium in the leaves makes raspberry an awesome ally for strengthening the bones and preventing osteoporosis. They are also very astringent and so effective when taken to control heavy menstrual bleeding. Studies indicate raspberry leaves help reduce blood sugar levels, making it a useful herb in the management of diabetes.
