From Hot Flashes to Hair Loss: Natural Remedies for Thriving Through Perimenopause and Beyond.

Perimenopause is becoming quite a common term these days. Gone are the days when women suffered through hormonal changes in silence, gritting their teeth and pushing through the discomfort. Women today are reclaiming their right to knowledge, seeking natural solutions, and demanding better options for their health and well-being. We don’t have to just 'deal with it'—we deserve to feel our best!

While conventional treatments like hormone replacement therapy (HRT) are available, many women seek natural remedies to support their bodies during this time. Fortunately, I have created various combinations to help us get through this time of transition with grace holistically. After spending a year researching and trying out various mixtures, here is what I came up with to combat some of the most common complaints.  

1. Hair Thinning

Hormonal changes during perimenopause can lead to hair shedding, slower growth, and a decrease in hair density. Natural remedies that promote scalp health and hormone balance include:

Biotin, Horsetail, and Gotu Kola – This trio works synergistically to combat hair thinning. Biotin, also known as vitamin B7, plays a key role in keratin production, essential for hair growth and strength. Horsetail, rich in silica, strengthens hair strands and enhances elasticity, reducing breakage. Gotu Kola supports circulation to the scalp, ensuring hair follicles receive the nutrients and oxygen needed for optimal growth.

This powerful beauty blend is our ALLURE.

2. Fatigue/ Lack of Energy

Perimenopausal fatigue often results from disrupted hormone levels, adrenal stress, and nutrient deficiencies. These herbs can naturally boost energy levels:

Maca Root, Ashwagandha, Lion’s Mane, and Peppermint – This combination works synergistically to enhance energy levels. Maca root helps regulate hormone balance and increase physical endurance. Ashwagandha reduces stress-related fatigue and supports adrenal function. Lion’s Mane enhances cognitive function, reducing brain fog and improving mental clarity. Peppermint has invigorating properties that stimulate alertness and refresh the mind and body.

This energy boosting combo is our BOOST.

3. Poor Sleep

Sleep disturbances are one of the most challenging perimenopause symptoms, often due to night sweats, anxiety, or a disrupted circadian rhythm. These herbs can promote restful sleep:

Microdose Melatonin, Passionflower, Ashwagandha, and Magnolia Bark – This combination works synergistically to promote restful sleep. Microdose melatonin helps regulate the body’s natural sleep-wake cycle without causing grogginess. Passionflower soothes the nervous system, easing anxiety that can interfere with sleep. Ashwagandha supports the adrenal glands and reduces cortisol levels, which can contribute to nighttime wakefulness. Magnolia bark enhances GABA activity in the brain, promoting relaxation and deeper sleep.

Get a restful night with SLEEP.

4. Hormonal Fluctuations

When used together, Tribulus Terrestris, Maca Root, and Ginkgo Biloba create a synergistic effect. Tribulus helps regulate hormone levels, Maca Root provides energy and resilience to stress, while Ginkgo Biloba supports brain health and circulation. This combination can help alleviate perimenopause symptoms such as low energy, mental fog, and mood fluctuations.

While herbs can be powerful allies, lifestyle modifications can enhance their benefits:

• Balanced Diet – Focus on nutrient-dense foods like leafy greens, healthy fats, and lean proteins.

• Stress Management – Practices like yoga, meditation, and deep breathing can help regulate cortisol levels.

• Regular Exercise – Moderate physical activity supports circulation, hormone regulation, bone density and sleep quality.

  
  

Final Thoughts

Perimenopause is a natural transition as women, we can’t avoid it! Supporting your body with herbs can help ease the process and thankfully, all these combinations can be used separately or together for comprehensive approach. By incorporating these plant-based remedies and making lifestyle adjustments, you can navigate this phase with greater ease and vitality. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider before adding any herbs or supplements to your regimen to ensure they are safe and appropriate for your individual health needs. And if you still need some help even after making all the natural lifestyle changes you can, there are many hormonal remedies your medical doctor can suggest.

We are in it together,
