I’m always asked about Women’s Health, a herbal medicine that often helps with irregular cycles and in cases of amenorrhea (absence of menstruation). But is there a correct way to take it so as not to interfere with the cycle for those who want to get pregnant? What precautions should be taken when using the women’s health medicine in specific cases? Let’s see…

Composition of Women’s Health

Women’s Health is based on a plant called agoniada (tincture of Plumeria lancifolia) combined with other elements such as passiflora1, an herb that helps calm the nerves, and also sodium salicylate. These elements together form a natural medication that has for many years helped Brazilian women regulate their cycles.

What Is Women’s Health Used For

Women who have some type of hormonal imbalance and consequently suffer from late or irregular menstruation find women’s health a great option. Agoniada, which is the active ingredient in the medication, acts on the body by putting the main hormones of the menstrual cycle in order. In other words, when using agoniada, a woman can potentially improve her cycle and menstruate on schedule. For this purpose, the ideal is for the woman to start taking the medication on the 15th day after the first day of her period. It should be taken for one week, twice a day.

Another well-known natural remedy for regulating hormones is yam2. During digestion, yam can release the phytohormone diosgenin, which is able to stimulate hormone levels in the brain. We know not everyone likes yam, and it can be difficult to include it in the diet every day. We recommend yam capsules, which you can buy in our online store.

Can Those Who Want to Get Pregnant Take Women’s Health?

For those who want to use women’s health as a remedy to help them get pregnant, the herbal medicine should be taken differently. The ideal is to take it as soon as menstruation starts for seven days, twice a day. Taking women’s health during menstruation helps to cleanse the uterus and also to increase estrogen, which helps stimulate the maturation of eggs. The tendency for those who use agoniada-based medication is to have a heavier menstrual flow for two cycles or more. Hormonal cleansing occurs already in the first cycle with the herbal medicine and can benefit even women who have heavy flows. These flows are eased, as estrogen that stimulates the thickening of the endometrium would be balanced. Consequently, menstruation would occur normally.

Main Indications for the Medication

Besides all this, the elixir also helps to reduce inconvenient PMS symptoms such as cramps and irritability3, as well as lower abdominal heaviness. For those with polycystic ovaries, women’s health helps because it can regulate the amount of estrogen in the body. It’s also possible to relieve fibroids with the herbal medicine, since in some cases it can reduce their circumference and size.

Precautions with Use

The elixir should be used with caution, as some women may have allergies to the components in the formula. Women with hypertension should consult their gynecologist about the pros and cons, benefits and risks of the medication. Any medication based on agoniada tends to raise blood pressure. Diabetic women can take women’s health without major issues, since this medication does not contain sugar. It is recommended to take women’s health after meals and with a glass of natural fruit juice, as the taste is not pleasant. However, the benefits outweigh the inconvenience of taking the medicine. Remember: Never self-medicate. Consult a gynecologist and talk to them about the possibility of taking women’s health. See also: Menstrual Regulator – Get Your Cycle on Track
