Do you
suffer from acne, memory fog, chronic fatigue, depression, anxiety or sleep
disorder? Do you often feel frustrated, extremely emotional and find it difficult
to stop binge eating? Do you have tension headaches, IBS, sudden weight gain
and experience extreme flatulence? Is loss of libido ruining your relationship
or marriage?
Do you know
that all of these symptoms and conditions can be caused by hormonal imbalance?
Our modern way of living made us drift too far away from nature. We often use medications,
we are swamped with toxic plastic and polluted air, we give in to unhealthy
diet rich in fats, sugars and meat full of steroids and antibiotics, we sit for
too long, we don’t get enough sunshine, and we are on the Pill. As a
consequence, we are witnesses of an epidemic of hormonal imbalance among women
all around the world.
It may take
a while before we realize that the symptoms we have been having are caused by hormonal
imbalance. Apart from the reproductive system, it can harm the thyroid, the
bones and muscles, the heart and veins and it can increase risk of tumors. When
it hits the uterus and ovaries, apart from the above mentioned conditions, it
can also cause:
· trouble in conceiving
· PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome)
· ovarian cysts
· cervical lesions
· endometriosis
· uterine fibroids
· pre-menstrual symptoms
· menstrual cramps and excessive bleeding during periods
· fibrocystic breasts.
Once we get
thrown off the track, going back is not easy. We are grateful to modern
medicine for all the advances in various treatments of serious diseases, but
when it comes to the hormones, apart from the synthetic substitutes, it does
not have much to offer. Since the problem is caused by our drifting away from
the nature, the solution, logically, would be to get closer to it once again.
Throughout
history, women sought help in green fields and woods. There is a vast
traditional knowledge that cannot be denied even by modern science. Certain
herbs help, and clinical trials have confirmed that the traditional beliefs are
well founded.
Lady’s mantle has been used for ages for female ailments and
infertility. It contains tannins which have a strong astringent effect, thus
preventing heavy bleeding, which explains why women with heavy, painful
menstruations and uterine fibroids find it helpful. Studies proved that lady’s
mantle is an efficient tumor inhibitor. Its effect on gastrointestinal
disorders has also been proven.
Yarrow, known since ancient times, is known to
alleviate cramps and pain, especially in the lower pelvic region. Its
flavonoids have a spasmolytic effect, while pro-azulene soothes inflammations. It
is an excellent remedy for painful periods.

microbes and parasites and is an excellent diuretic. It prevents water
retention during the pre-menstrual phase, and is a potent healer of uterine
wounds, cysts and fibroids. Marigold is also used for dysmenorrhea.
Crane’s bill is another very potent herb and healer of
wounds, it regulates blood circulation and works as a mild sedative. It is a
strong antioxidant which prevents infections and boosts the immunity. It also

Golden maca has been used for over two millennia in traditional medicine of the Andes as an adaptogenic herb, helping the body to adapt to harsh environmental
conditions, increasing stamina and endurance. It balances hormones and has a very beneficial
overall effect, both on the body and mind. It eliminates depression and brain
fog, and is particularly useful in stopping the pre-menstrual energy and mood
roller-coaster. Its alkaloids work against infertility.
Shepherd’s purse can regulate uterine contraction, blood flow
and balance menstrual bleeding. It heals wounds and burns and is also very
beneficial for the heart.

medicinal herbs, together with zinc which is a potent essential element and
antioxidant, are assembled in Femisan A in well-studied doses, aiming to help
women from the moment they enter puberty, till the menopause. Femisan A, the
potent protector of women, brings us closer to nature.
