Stage: 2 or 3 Niche: Eye Health & Vision Support

You're in Stage 2 or you're in stage 3 - you can use this niche as your primary niche during either.

If not sure of your stage go to the lesson "Find Your Stage" - it's step 2 in Module 1.

You want to support the health of your eyes and vision along with your hormones during or after menopause.

If that sounds like you, you're in the right place.

Instructions

The instructions on how to know which remedies to choose from the lists below are in the lesson "How To Use An Herbal Niche" where you'll find a simple, step-by-step checklist that you can bring with you to this, or any, niche. (Print it out and keep it handy)

The Dosage Guide is where you'll find the dosage ranges for formulas from all different herb companies in tablet, tincture, and powder forms. (Print this one out and keep it very handy! Possibly even near where you store your herbs)

The remedies

Level 1 Support

To increase to level 2, instead of adding another formula, simply take the maximum dose of this well-balanced formula.

Tablet: Bright Eye Rehmannia (Kan)
Tincture: Bright Eye Rehmannia (Kan)
Powder: Lycium Fruit Chrysanthemum and Rehmannia (TCM Zone Packets)

Add-On Support

Raw Goji Berries (Natierra and Foods Alive in the Wellevate pharmacy are both medicinal quality) are a great superfood for you! Eat as a snack, toss in a salad, blend into a smoothie, or simmer in hot water for 10 minutes to make a tea.

Add On Support for PMS, Stress, & Energy Traffic Jams

Add this on if you have stress or PMS or suspect an energy traffic jam. (Anything that feels like PMS whether you're getting your period or not could be an energy traffic jam.)

Don't hesitate to add this on. A large percentage of women feel better on it!

Your level 1 formula is increasing the energy in your body a LOT - this formula will help keep that energy moving and circulating well.

Tablet: Relaxed Wanderer (Kan)
Tincture: Relaxed Wanderer (Kan)
Powder: Relax Herb Pack (Pacherbs)
- Or Augmented Rambling Formula (T-24 TCM Zone powder packets/box)

Add-On Digestive support

Add this on If your digestion needs support.

The herbs for menopause are slightly heavy and hard to digest. Most women have NO PROBLEM - but if you find you’re having any loose stools, bloating, or gas from taking your herbs, now is a great time to start giving your digestion extra support - you can use it to help digest your herbs all through the transition Find the formula you like best:

Tablets: Prosperous Farmer (favorite) (or Six Gentlemen, which is slightly less expensive) Kan
Tincture: Prosperous Farmer (or Six Gentlemen) Kan
Powder: Six-Gentlemen Formula w/Vladimiria and Amomum (TCM Zone 169)

Take your digestive support and your other herbs with meals if possible for the best results with the least digestive upset.

Try the smallest dose of digestive support in the range - then work your way up as needed to the maximum dose if needed.

Add On Adaptogenic Protection

If you want to take your herbal program to the next level in terms of healthy aging, this is a must.

Adaptogenic, protective herbs like Reishi are known to

Help reduce occasional weakness or fatigue

Provide support during recovery from long term illness

Support immunity, help relieve coughing, wheezing, excess chronic phlegm

Soothe occasional insomnia and depression

Support mental tranquility and vitality

Help support a healthy stress response

Support a healthy metabolism, weight, appetite, and cholesterol

Support stamina and endurance

Help prevent premature aging

And Adapgenic, protective herbs like American ginseng are known to

Be moistening and cooling

Support increased energy levels

Be protective against stress and support a healthy stress response

Support adaptogenic regulation of the endocrine system including hormone levels whether they are high or low In ways that no other herbs can

How to use the Adaptogenic Protection Groups

Choose one from one group (ginseng or reishi)
or choose one from each group (ginseng and reishi)

Even if someday you no longer need most of the other herbs in this program (though I ALWAYS recommend one level one formula) These are herbs you can take for a lifetime of increased balance, energy, and protection.

Group 1 Reishi Mushroom

There are lots of choices here - any one of them will do. Find one that fits your budget and taste buds and comes in the form you prefer - capsules, tablets, liquid, or powder. Reishi is great on food, in soup, and in hot chocolate or drinking chocolate - or take it with your other herbs.

Use this only if needed just on the days you have discomfort. (do not take if heavy bleeding with dangerous levels of blood loss are an issue for you)
