Spring Herbs to Support Women's Health

As the earth awakens from winter’s slumber, spring offers a bounty of fresh herbs that can nourish and support women’s health. This season of renewal is the perfect time to incorporate nutrient-rich, detoxifying, and hormone-balancing herbs into your daily routine. Here are some of the best spring herbs for women’s wellness and how they can help support your body throughout the season.

1. Nettle (Urtica dioica) – The Nourishing Powerhouse

Nettle is a deeply nourishing herb packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. It is particularly rich in iron, making it an excellent ally for women who experience heavy periods or anemia. Nettle also has blood-purifying properties that support hormonal balance and reduce PMS symptoms such as bloating and fatigue.

How to Use: Enjoy nettle as a tea, infusion, or tincture to support overall vitality and well-being. We blend it into many of our teas, including Lady In Waiting Pregnancy Tea, Woman's Balance Nourishing Tea for Hormone Balance, and Woman's Wisdom Menopause Support Tea.

2. Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) – The Detoxifier

Dandelion is a powerful springtime herb that supports liver health, which is crucial for hormone regulation and detoxification. Acting as a natural diuretic, dandelion helps reduce bloating and water retention, which are common symptoms of PMS. Additionally, it aids digestion and promotes clear, healthy skin.

How to Use: Fresh dandelion greens can be added to salads, or you can brew dandelion tea to support gentle detoxification.

3. Red Clover (Trifolium pratense) – The Hormonal Ally

Red clover is rich in phytoestrogens, plant compounds that mimic estrogen in the body. This makes it an excellent herb for supporting menopausal health, easing hot flashes, and maintaining bone density. It also supports lymphatic drainage and overall detoxification, helping the body eliminate excess hormones and toxins.

How to Use: Red clover tea or tincture can be used to support hormonal balance and overall well-being. We blend red clover into Fertile Ground Fertility Support Tincture, Menstrual Harmony Menstrual Support Tincture, and Woman's Wisdom Menopause Tea.

4. Chlorophyll – The Green Detoxifier

Chlorophyll, the green pigment found in plants, is a potent detoxifier and internal cleanser. It helps alkalize the body, supports liver function, and promotes oxygenation at the cellular level. Chlorophyll is especially beneficial for women’s health as it aids in balancing hormones, reducing inflammation, and increasing energy levels.

How to Use: Liquid chlorophyll can be added to water for a refreshing drink, or you can incorporate chlorophyll-rich foods like wheatgrass, spirulina, and dark leafy greens into your diet.
