Herbs have had a place in women’s health since time immemorial. They are gentle yet effective – they can help balance your cycle, ease PMS symptoms and boost fertility. But in an era of quick fixes and miracle promises, there are a lot of myths surrounding them. Let’s debunk them and see how herbs can really help you find balance.
Myth #1: “More herbs means more effect”
Many women feel that the more teas, tinctures, and capsules they take, the faster their body will get back into harmony. But the truth is different:
- Too many herbs can burden the body instead of helping it.
- What is important is the synergy of herbs , i.e. their interaction in a finely balanced mixture.
- Simplicity is key – less is sometimes more.
Gabriela Tuatti adds:
"Herbs are not about overwhelming the body. They are about gentle support that awakens the body's own regenerative abilities," adds naturopath Gabriela Tuatti.
Myth #2: “Herbs always work the same way”
Every body is different and its hormonal balance changes over time. Therefore, the effect of herbs may not always be identical:
- in some seasons they are like a balm for the body,
- other times the body will tell itself to take a break.
Tip: Listen to your body. If you feel like “this isn’t it,” take a short break and observe the changes.
Myth #3: “Herbs work immediately”
Herbs work gently and in harmony with the body's natural processes. Their effect:
- may be gradual (the first changes often become apparent after 1–3 months),
- it builds a foundation for long-term balance, not just short-term relief.
How to use the power of herbs correctly?
- Look for high-quality herbal mixtures where the individual ingredients are balanced.
- Trust your body – sometimes it needs support, sometimes it needs space to regenerate.
- Combine herbs with overall self-care (sleep, diet, rest).
