May 13^th-19^th is National Women’s Health Week and to celebrate, we’d like to share some of our favorite posts for women’s health including home remedies, herbs, and great resources for a healthy life.

Herbs for Breastfeeding and Pregnancy

These two blog posts are a great resource for mothers! Herbs for Breastfeeding outlines which herbs can increase or decrease milk supply, depending on the need and was written by one of our staffers who had some great tips to share! Herbs for Pregnancy lists the herbs that should be avoided during pregnancy to ensure the safety of your baby and your body as well as which herbs provide relief from common complaints that come along with carrying a child. Did you know we have a Pre/Post Natal section on our website? Check it out!

Herbs for Menopause

Find out which herbs can serve as an alternative to HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapies) as well as which spices in your kitchen can help address mood swings, hot flashes, and even the depression that often comes along menopause in this post. Find the products mentioned as well as others that are beneficial for the health of your system during this chage in the Menopause section of our website.

Anti-Aging

Every woman wants to look her best and we believe that the power of herbs, like Schizandra, can help you to keep your youthful glow without adding toxic chemicals to your beauty regimen. Remember that what you put on your body is just as important as what you put in your body (find out about toxins in cosmetics here). Schizandra was called an anti-aging miracle by Dr. Oz and this tiny berry can improve the function of your entire body, not just the appearance of your skin.

Home Remedies

Whether you’d like to know how you can get glowing skin, use eggplant to remedy cellulite, or which steps you should take to deal with a yeast infection, we’ve got home remedies for you! Hanna shared so many wonderful tips and remedies for everyday ailments and we are happy to pass them on to you. Be sure to check out the home remedy section of the blog for more great topics from bad breath to diaper rash.

Heart Health

While we wear red in February to raise awareness of heart disease in women, don’t wait for Heart Health Month to take this concern seriously. More women die from heart disease than men and we’ve got simple changes you can make to help protect yourself from heart disease here.

We hope you’ll celebrate National Women’s Health Week with some healthy changes that will benefit your body for the rest of your life. Women are often spending so much of their time caring for family while juggling responsibilities and find they’ve missed paying attention to themselves.
