Period Relief Tincture
This is an alcohol-based liquid extract (tincture) of three herbs extracted together: the peppery berry of the Mediterranean chaste tree, the knotty root of the North American wild yam vine, and the leaf of alfalfa. Each is also sold on its own. It is a traditional herbal product and does not contain hormones - please read the safety information below before use, especially if you take hormonal contraceptives or prescription medicines.
- Vitex (chaste tree), berry - Vitex agnus-castus berry (Lamiaceae)
- Wild yam, root - Dioscorea villosa root (Dioscoreaceae)
- Alfalfa, leaf - Medicago sativa leaf (Fabaceae)
- Extract type: Alcohol tincture. Other ingredients: organic alcohol, vegetable glycerin, crystal clear purified water
- Origin: Responsibly sourced, cultivated and wild-gathered botanicals. Gluten free. Made in the USA.
What is in the blend
- Vitex berry - the small, dark, pepper-scented fruit of the chaste tree, a shrub of Mediterranean riverbanks with lilac flower spikes; the berries have been gathered in European herbalism for centuries.
- Wild yam root - the twisted, woody root of a twining vine of eastern North American woodlands. It contains diosgenin, a plant compound chemists use as a laboratory starting material for hormones - but the human body cannot make that conversion, so wild yam is not a progesterone and this blend supplies no hormones.
- Alfalfa leaf - the leaf of the deep-rooted forage legume with purple clover-like flowers; used here as the leaf, not the sprouts or seeds.
Why a tincture
The three dried herbs are macerated together in organic alcohol with a little vegetable glycerin and water - the classic herbal method. A tincture keeps for years at room temperature in a cool, dark place, has a bitter, peppery taste, and a few drops disappear in a glass of water or juice. A serving of 20 to 30 drops is roughly 1 ml of liquid, so the amount of alcohol per serving is small.
How to use
Shake well before use. Put the number of drops shown on the label into a little water or juice and drink it, up to the frequency shown on the label. Do not exceed the label serving. Store in a cool, dark place with the cap tight.
Tincture or drops?
If you avoid alcohol or prefer a milder taste, the same three-herb blend is available as Period Relief Alcohol-Free Drops - the glycerite version. The herbs and proportions are identical; only the extraction liquid differs.
Important safety information - please read before use
