Active plant ingredients and their role in the herbal blend:

Lady's Mantle
Lady's Mantle (Alchemilla vulgaris) is one of the best-known plants in traditional European herbal medicine associated with women's health. In folk medicine, it is used for various women's health concerns, including menstrual discomfort and heavy menstrual bleeding. The plant contains significant amounts of tannins, flavonoids, phenolic acids and other polyphenolic compounds. Tannins are responsible for its characteristic astringent properties, while flavonoids and phenolic compounds are studied for their potential antioxidant activity. Scientific reviews of the genus Alchemilla discuss its traditional use for menstrual complaints and other conditions associated with women's health.

Yarrow
Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) is a traditionally used herb known for its content of flavonoids, sesquiterpene lactones, phenolic acids and essential oil. Its characteristic constituents include apigenin, luteolin and their derivatives. In traditional European herbal medicine, Yarrow is used for mild menstrual cramps and abdominal discomfort. The European Medicines Agency (EMA) recognises the traditional use of certain Yarrow preparations for the relief of mild menstrual cramps. Laboratory studies have also observed antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory properties in Yarrow preparations.

African Marigold
African Marigold (Tagetes erecta) is a plant from the Asteraceae family, known for its distinctive yellow and orange flowers. It contains a variety of phytochemical compounds, including flavonoids, phenolic compounds, carotenoids and terpenoids. Carotenoids are of particular interest, including lutein, which is characteristic of the flowers of certain species of the genus Tagetes. In the traditional medicine of various cultures, African Marigold has been used for different purposes, with historical references to its use in connection with menstruation. Modern research mainly examines its chemical composition and the biological properties of individual extracts.

Shepherd's Purse
Shepherd's Purse (Capsella bursa-pastoris) is one of the plants traditionally used in European herbal medicine for women's health concerns, particularly those related to menstrual bleeding. It contains flavonoids, phenolic acids, biogenic amines, organic acids and other plant compounds. Its traditional use for heavy menstrual bleeding is of particular interest. The European Medicines Agency recognises the traditional use of certain Shepherd's Purse preparations to reduce heavy menstrual bleeding in women with regular menstrual cycles, once serious underlying causes have been ruled out by a doctor.

Tormentil
Tormentil (Potentilla erecta) is a plant with a distinctive phytochemical composition, predominantly characterised by tannins, including condensed and hydrolysable tannins. It also contains phenolic acids, flavonoids and triterpene saponins. Its high tannin content is responsible for its pronounced astringent properties. In traditional European herbal medicine, Tormentil is used primarily for mild digestive complaints and irritation of the mucous membranes of the mouth and throat. Its rich tannin content is also of interest in research into plant polyphenols.

Calendula - Flower
Calendula flowers (Calendula officinalis) are rich in flavonoids, carotenoids, triterpene compounds and other plant constituents. Characteristic substances include quercetin, isorhamnetin, lutein and various triterpene derivatives. Calendula is well known in traditional herbal medicine, particularly for external use in cases of minor skin inflammation and to support skin recovery. Its plant compounds are studied for their potential antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity.

Nettle - Leaf
Nettle leaves (Urtica dioica) contain flavonoids, phenolic acids, minerals, chlorophyll and other naturally occurring plant compounds. Characteristic constituents include derivatives of quercetin and kaempferol, which are studied for their potential antioxidant activity. Nettle is valued in traditional herbal medicine and is also known as a source of minerals, including iron, calcium and magnesium. It adds a varied nutritional and phytochemical profile to the herbal blend.

Sage - Leaf
Sage leaves (Salvia officinalis) contain essential oil, phenolic acids, flavonoids and characteristic diterpenes. Its main plant constituents include rosmarinic acid, carnosic acid and carnosol, as well as essential oil components such as thujone and camphor. Sage is traditionally used in European herbal medicine for mild digestive complaints and excessive sweating. Rosmarinic acid and other phenolic compounds are studied for their potential antioxidant activity. In the context of women's health, Sage is also mentioned in traditional practices associated with the menopausal period. However, the available data do not establish an effect of this particular herbal blend on hormonal balance or uterine conditions.

Thyme - Aerial Parts
Thyme (Thymus vulgaris) contains essential oil, phenolic acids, flavonoids and other plant compounds. Characteristic components of its essential oil include thymol and carvacrol, while rosmarinic acid is among its phenolic constituents. These compounds are studied for their potential antioxidant and antimicrobial activity. Thyme is well known in traditional herbal medicine, particularly in connection with the respiratory and digestive systems. In this recipe, it complements the herbal blend with its characteristic aromatic and phenolic compounds.

The female reproductive system and why it is important to care for its health:

The female reproductive system includes the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, vagina and external genital organs. It plays a key role in the menstrual cycle, hormonal regulation and reproductive function.

At different stages of life, women may experience changes in their menstrual cycle and various discomforts associated with the reproductive system. Some of the more common concerns include menstrual discomfort, heavy menstrual bleeding and inflammatory conditions affecting the female reproductive organs.

Uterine Inflammation
Inflammatory processes affecting the uterus can have different causes. Endometritis is inflammation of the uterine lining, which is often associated with an infection. Pelvic inflammatory disease can affect the uterus, fallopian tubes and surrounding tissues. Depending on the cause, symptoms may include lower abdominal pain, unusual vaginal discharge, bleeding between periods, pain during sexual intercourse and fever. These conditions require medical assessment and, where necessary, specific treatment.

Menstrual Discomfort
Menstrual discomfort may include cramps and pain in the lower abdomen, which can sometimes spread to the lower back and thighs. It is often associated with the natural processes accompanying menstruation. In traditional herbal medicine, Yarrow and Lady's Mantle are among the plants used in connection with menstrual comfort.

Heavy Menstrual Bleeding
Heavier or prolonged menstrual bleeding can have various causes, including hormonal changes, fibroids, polyps, blood clotting disorders and other conditions. Shepherd's Purse has a traditional use for heavy menstrual bleeding, but unusual or excessive bleeding should be assessed by a gynaecologist to determine the underlying cause.

Hormonal Changes and Women's Wellbeing
Hormonal changes at different stages of life can affect the menstrual cycle, sleep, mood and overall wellbeing. These changes are particularly characteristic of the perimenopausal period and menopause. Caring for women's health involves a balanced diet, regular physical activity, sufficient sleep and routine preventive health check-ups.

In cases of persistent, recurring or unusual gynaecological complaints, it is important to establish the specific cause through medical assessment. Herbal products should not replace a gynaecological examination or prescribed treatment.
