@ Sister Juanita,

I like this blog! Are there any herbs that you recommend together that are beneficial together for women transitioning for the Change of Life?

The Turmeric Seed is worth looking into especial since my joints particularly my knees are achy these days. Age isn't just a number.... I'm feeling my age.

Also that QUEEN OF MEADOW ROOT is worth investigating, too!

I went today to check out the Tumeric and its a bit pricey the one that I wanted to buy, so I bought some Fish Oil (Omega 3 oils) for my son instead. I will go back when I have more money to spend on the Tumeric. I've seen it in powder form for cooking at the grocery store, too.

Ms. Jeni Fa, Red Raspberry Leaf is an excellent herb for women who are going through menopause. Red Raspberry Leaf is what I like to call "a woman's best friend". I have seen some women who practice holistic health with me take the red raspberry leaf to aid their menopausal symptoms.

In addition to aiding menopausal symptoms, red raspberry leaf is thought to be helpful in easing PMS symptoms, morning sickness in pregnant women, labor and delivery and in enriching a mother's breast milk.

Damiana Leaf also works best in aiding menopause, hot flashes, and to balance female hormones. Both Damiana Leaf and Red Raspberry Leaf can be taken together if desired (but in moderate amounts).

Jen, curcumin is a high potency extract of tumeric.

Good Stuff Guys and Thanks!

Mr. Williams, that is correct. Curcumin is one of the main healthful ingredients which gives turmeric its yellow color. Curcumin can also benefit you by promoting your immune and digestive system, and helping you maintain cholesterol levels that are already within the normal range.
