Ease is a liquid herbal formulation used for the relief of the unpleasant symptoms often associated with women’s menstrual and menopausal disorders. Ease contains the herbs Chaste Tree and Wild Yam. These herbs have long been used in treating menstrual irregularities (pains, tension and cramps) and the unpleasant symptoms of menopause (hot flushes, sweats) – naturally, of course! Pinot Ease contains the following herbal ingredients, which both have a long history of traditional use:Chaste Tree – traditionally used to stabilise your body’s delicate balance of hormones. It works by suppressing excessive amounts of the hormone prolactin – the milk producing hormone released by your pituitary gland. This results in an adjustment of the levels of the two female hormones; estrogen and progesterone. Wild Yam – traditionally used for its antispasmodic properties which ease menstrual cramps and relieves muscle tension and pain. It also acts to relieve nausea. Wild Yam also contains diosgenin, which has anti-fatigue, anti-inflammatory, anti-stress, and estrogenic effects. Dosage: Adults 1ml (one full dropper) in water or juice 3-4 times per day. For faster absorption place directly under the tongue. NOTE: For the relief of symptoms associated with menstrual irregularities please commence dosage two weeks before your next period. For more lasting relief we recommend you continue your dosage with a second bottle. Not recommended for use during pregnancy. Always read the label. Use only as directed. If symptoms persist consult your health care professional.

Naturopathic Information: Menopause is a normal event in the life of a woman, it signals the end of her fertile/reproductive phase of her life. The ovaries which normally produce female hormones, almost completely stop producing progesterone and two out of the three oestrogen hormones: oestradiol and oestriol. Hot flushes and night sweats are a symptom of hormonal changes occurring in menopause, as oestrogen is typically lowest at night, some women get night sweats without having any hot flashes during the daytime. Naturopaths use herbal remedies to assist the body to adapt to the new hormonal levels by reducing the effects of oestrogen withdrawal. In addition, lifestyle changes may help as well. These include avoiding caffeine, hot drinks, chocolate, spicy or hot foods and alcohol. A healthy diet high in vegetables and rich in soy foods with regular exercise and yoga may help control the body's response to the stresses that can lead to hot flashes.
