HERBAL FEMALE TONIC®
A Tonic balances the physiological and chemical actions of the body systems.

All of those who faithfully use the Female Tonic® admit one factor in common:
“It is the only thing that really stops my hot flashes and helps with my mood swings!”

Many women choose Female Tonic® over synthetic estrogen replacement therapies due to the negative publicity that has been in the news over HRT. Specifically, the effect and link to heart disease and breast cancer, now the new discovery linking it to Dymentia and Alzheimers. Menopause is not a dangerous disease! It does however cause uncomfortable symptoms. Our ALL NATURAL Female Tonic® has packed the best of nature into easy to take capsules. So, isn’t it time that you Nourish and Strengthen the woman in You?

This 100% natural herbal blend can be helpful in easing the discomfort of cramping, bloating, headaches, aches and pains, hot flashes, mood swings, skin outbreaks, incontinence and tension associated with hormone imbalances. No dyes, synthetics, chemicals or preservatives. Only natural organic and wildcrafted herbs in their whole form in a vegetable capsule. Not standardized.
Rather your hormone imbalance is due to PMS, Menopause, or a sluggish glandular system, Female Tonic can help restore lost nutrients that cause these uncomfortable symptoms.
INGREDIENTS: Each 500 mg. capsule contains chaste tree berries (Vitex), Red Clover blossoms, Shavegrass (Horsetail), Black Cohosh root, Milk thistle seed and Bladderwrack (Kelp).

Vitex - the benefits of this healing herb stem from its actions upon the pituitary gland – specifically on the production of luteinizing hormone. This increases progesterone production and helps regulate a womans’s cycle. Vitex also keeps prolactin secretion in check. The ability to decrease excessive prolactin levels may benefit infertile women. Red Clover – is a purifier of the blood and a powerful lymphatic cleanser. It is one of the most useful remedies for skin problems. High in Isoflavones. Shavegrass is very rich in silicic acid and silicates, which are vital components for bone and cartilage formations. This would indicate that it is beneficial in preventing osteoporosis. It’s benefits to strengthen the bladder make it an important herb for incontinence. Black Cohosh - helps in the treatment of Menopause, Painful menstruation and Uterine spasms. It promotes and restores healthy menstrual activity. The primary traditional use of black cohosh has been as a relaxant, sedative, anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic. This herb appears to act directly on tissues of both the reproductive AND the nervous system. Milk Thistle – contains constituents which protect liver cells from chemical damage. It is used to increase the secretion and flow of bile from the liver and gall-bladder. Also used in the treatment of chronic uterine problems. Bladderwrack – Kloss, the author of Back to Eden describes Bladderwrack as “The best remedy for all glandular afflictions. Has an excellent effect on the kidneys.” A great diuretic for water retention. Offers high content of vitamins, minerals and trace minerals. It has a reputation in helping the relief of rheumatism and rheumatoid arthritis.

If you have sensitivities or allergies to any of the ingredients, do not use this product. Female Tonic® is not intended to treat, cure, diagnose or prevent disease. If you are taking Prescription medications, contact your health care provider before taking Female Tonic® If you are taking synthetic estrogen, you should not take Female Tonic®. If you are considering going off your ERT, Holistic Alternatives advises that you contact your Physician and, make him/her aware of your alternative therapy plans.

HERBAL TEA BATHS

Whether used medicinally, or recreational, Natures Indulgence has created the luxury and therapy of herbal tea baths. So simple. Just place one tea bag into a bath. The herbs will steep just as they would in a teacup. Pure organic or wildcrafted herbs blended for therapeutic balance of your body, mind and spirit. Step into luxury. Enjoy the wonderful healing properties offered by Natures active ingredients.

Medicinal bathing, also called hydrotherapy or thalassotherapy, is traditionally used for therapeutic healing and cosmetic purposes. It was a popular healing and restorative treatment in the Roman empire. Throughout the ages, many Herbalists and Physicians used only medicinal bathing and herbal bath remedies to help heal their patients. Today you can use these centuries old therapies in the privacy of your own home. Herbal bathing is popular remedies in Spas against stress, anxiety, insomnia, combating fatigue and energy loss, improving alertness and performance. Natures Indulgence tea bath formulas are composed of herbs only. No chemicals, dyes, synthetics or fragrances. However, the herbs offer pleasant natural aromatherapy of their own.

Contents of bag contains large pieces of potent therapeutic herbs. This insures more powerful healing benefits. Many herbs in our tea bags are in their whole form. This allows the essential oils of the plants to remain intact. Directions: Just Add water! Place tea bag in bath water. For full benefit, do not add any other products to the bath. Leave it in the tub during your entire bath. As the bag steeps, your water will change color, offering up it’s therapeutic properties while you relax. Allow about 20 minutes in your bath. *If you have heart problems or diabetes, ask your Physician about bathing.

Variations: The tea bath bags can also be used as a hair rinse, foot soak… or even to brew a pot of tea! My philosophy is: "If you can’t eat it… don’t put it on your skin." Our skin is our largest organ. Anything you put ON your skin, absorbs INTO your skin. This is why therapeutic bathing can be so effective. Your pores are opened from the warm bath allowing the medicinal herbs to penetrate into your skin. Try all six therapeutic blends.

Try All Six Herbal Tea Baths
