(This list is ever evolving, but these are some of my personal favorites. I’ve worked with them in my own body and integrate with clients.
One local resource is Turn to Nature created by Georgia Fickes. I know Georgia very well, and work in herbal medicine has deepened and continues to deepen season to season.

• Thorne Formula SF722 (undecylenic acid – fatty acid support of healthy GI and vaginal flora)
Sleep Support:
- Melatonin (Melatonin is a critical antioxidant that scavenges free radicals, helps you to sleep at night and brings an overall sense of calm and wellbeing. We need this hormone, which is produced by the pineal gland and is greatly reduced by exposure to artificial light at night (modern life.) It is associated with breast health and dreaming as well)
-5-HTP (helps to aid in the production of melatonin and supports serotonin synthesis)
-GABA (GABA helps to increase the production of alpha brain waves to create a profound sense of physical relaxation while maintaining mental focus)
