1. Black Cohosh
Renowned and well studied as a menopause herb, black cohosh also helps ease PMS-related pain.

2. Wild Yam
A classic liver tonic, wild yam balances hormones and eases morning sickness. Seek out cultivated sources, since it's been overharvested in the wild.

3. Motherwort
A classic women's herb used for menopause symptoms, heart support, and painful or delayed menstruation.

4. Sage
This common garden plant helps reduce hot flashes and regulate mood swings during menopause.
