Homemade "Flashes" Tincture recipe

This is an herbal remedy that I'm not quite ready for but I know there are quite a few women out there that would love to have a bit of relief from those power surges.

The "Flashes" herbal mixture from Mary's Tincture Shop makes a perfect combo tincture.  Herbs include organic Motherwort herb, organic Sage, organic Dandelion leaf, organic Chickweed, organic Elder flowers, organic Violet leaf, and organic Oatstraw.  This particular mix can be used to brew a tea but is stronger when made as a tincture.

I am excited to try this... I will be ordering soon. I tried cayenne pepper pills but they were tearing up my stomach.

Thank you for all that you share!

Homemade herbal remedies are SO easy to make. Compared to store-bought they are much more cost effective.
Thanks Stasa!
