Susan in our Putney store recommends Terranova Health Smooth Synergy: She says: “It’s a lovely non-stimulating adaptogenic (decreases sensitivity to stress) containing herbs such as Ashwaganda, Avena Sativa and Rhodiola. It’s really helped me through stressful times to stay calm and re-balance my system.
Our product of the week is A.Vogel Agnus Castus drops. Agnus Castus is a licenced herbal remedy classified as a safe herb to use in any conditions that are caused by hormonal imbalances, such as PMS, bloating, tender or painful breasts, moodiness, depression, headaches, acne etc. but may also help in menopausal symptoms, such as hot flashes and night sweats.
Some studies have shown that women who have difficulties conceiving because of hormonal disturbances might benefit from the use of Agnus Castus but because of its hormone balancing effect, caution should always be taken when using Hormone Replacement Therapy or Oral Contraceptives.
A.Vogel Agnus Castus comes in the form of a tincture (liquid drops extracted using organic alcohol) and contains the extract of the fruit from the Agnus Castus plant . Each 20 drop dose provides you with over 500mg of plant extract.
Erika from our Muswell Hill store recommends Solgar Comfort Zone. She says it is a good complex digestive formula containing a good variety of digestive enzymes to help with the digestion and breakdown of foods, as well as herbs such as fennel seeds and chamomile to support digestive comfort and decreasing bloating.
