It's in here.
You've just taken the first step most women skip — actually naming what's going on with your hormones instead of pushing through it.
This guide breaks down the key hormone-related conditions that affect mood — PMOS, PMDD, perimenopause, and the cycle-related mental health patterns that connect them — so you can start recognising your own pattern instead of wondering if it's "just you."

Finding balance again: herbal support for Irregular periods in Women over 35
Finding Balance Again: Herbal Support for Irregular Periods in Women Over 35
As women move through their mid-thirties and beyond, it’s common to notice changes in the menstrual cycle. Periods may become shorter, longer, heavier, or even skip a month altogether. While these shifts can be unsettling, they’re often your body’s way of signalling that it needs a little extra support.
The good news? Nature offers gentle, effective ways to help your body find its rhythm again.
Why Irregular Periods Happen After 35
From your mid-thirties onwards, hormone levels begin to fluctuate more noticeably. Oestrogen and progesterone, the two key hormones that regulate your cycle, can rise and fall unpredictably. This can be influenced by:
Stress and adrenal fatigue
Nutrient deficiencies (especially iron, magnesium, and B vitamins)
Thyroid imbalances
Perimenopause (the natural transition before menopause)
These changes can leave you feeling tired, moody, or out of sync with your body.
How Herbal Medicine Can Help
Herbal medicine works beautifully to bring the body back into balance by supporting the underlying systems that influence your hormones. Some of my favourite herbs for women over 35 include:
Vitex (Chaste Tree Berry): Helps regulate the menstrual cycle and balance progesterone levels.
Ashwagandha: A powerful adaptogen that supports the adrenals and reduces stress-related hormone disruption.
Dong Quai: Known as the “female ginseng,” it nourishes the blood and supports regular cycles.
Nettle Leaf: Rich in minerals, it helps replenish the body and support energy levels.
When used correctly, these herbs can help your body find its natural rhythm again, easing symptoms like irregular bleeding, PMS, and fatigue.
Lifestyle Shifts That Make a Difference
Alongside herbal support, small daily changes can have a big impact:
Prioritise rest and stress reduction (your hormones love calm).
Eat whole, nutrient-rich foods that stabilise blood sugar.
Move your body gently with yoga, walking, or stretching.
Track your cycle to notice patterns and progress.
