My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.
If you were to grow a small herb garden for menopausal relief, what would be the most useful herbs to grow and why? I have a small space to work with but any and all suggestions are welcome!
Hello RutabagaRachel & welcome to the Herbalism forum.
I love your question! I should plant a garden like that!
Of course, what would grow best depends on how much sun/shade and what kind of soil/drainage you have, but here's an off-the-top-of-my-head list (great for PMS too):
tonics/hormone balancers dandelion (yup, that weed) red clover red raspberry black cohosh - gorgeous flowers! mugwort - potentially invasive 'weed' & can increase bleeding! dong quai - can increase bleeding! chaste tree (vitex) flax (ground seeds) evening primrose (root & ground seeds)
nerve soothers, sedatives & anti-depressants oats (use both the green stems & fresh seedheads) lemon balm feverfew valerian hops - potentially invasive california poppy st. joan's wort - don't use with chemical anti-depressants motherwort passionflower roses!!
help with heavy bleeding (flooding) shepherd's purse yarrow stinging nettles
breast nourishing lady's mantle calendula
UTI preventors yarrow & dandelion (again) marshmallow - beautiful flowers!
That's a start. I'm sure the good folks here can add lots more to the list.
