Organic Menopause Perimenopause Tincture Blend—Full Strength

Nobody Warned You

Granny’s generation called it “the change,” and they said it in a whisper—if they said it at all. They fanned themselves in church, kicked the covers off at 3 a.m., snapped at people for chewing too loudly, manhandled the thermostat, and blamed every drop of sweat on the humidity (even in February).

Nobody warned them. Nobody warned you, either.

Nobody told you it could start in your late thirties. Nobody told you it could last ten years. Nobody told you that one day you’d walk into a room, forget why, burst into a sweat, cry at a commercial, and want to bite someone’s head off—all before lunch.

Menopause Perimenopause Organic Herbal Tincture Blend contains seven organic herbs, led by black cohosh, chosen to cool the flashes, calm the sweats, steady the heart and mood, and help you sleep through the night again.*

What’s Really Happening

Perimenopause is the stretch of years leading up to your last period. It can start in your late thirties or forties and last anywhere from four to ten years. This is when most women feel the worst of it—and when most women don’t realize that’s what’s happening.

Menopause is one day: the day you’ve gone a full twelve months without a period.

Post-menopause is every day after that. For many women, the hardest symptoms ease, but some—the sweats, the sleep, and the dryness—hang on for years.

Here’s why it feels like such a roller coaster. Your hormones don’t wind down in a smooth, gentle slope. Progesterone—your calming, sleep-friendly hormone—drops first. Estrogen doesn’t fall in a straight line; it spikes and crashes, sometimes in the same week. Your brain’s thermostat, which runs on those hormones, gets jumpy and starts sounding the alarm over nothing. That’s a hot flash.

And there’s a backup system most women never hear about. As your ovaries wind down, your adrenal glands are supposed to step in and keep making a small supply of hormones. But if you’ve spent the last twenty years running on stress, your adrenals are already worn out—and the change hits that much harder.

Signs the Change Is Here

• Hot flashes
• Night sweats
• Waking at 3 a.m. and staring at the ceiling
• Mood swings, irritability, and a short fuse
• Anxiety that comes out of nowhere
• A racing or pounding heart
• Brain fog and forgetfulness
• Periods that come early, come late, come heavy, or skip altogether
• Weight settling around the middle
• Achy joints
• Dryness
• Low desire
• Tiredness that sleep doesn’t fix
• Thinning hair

The Herbs and Why Each One Is Here

This blend works on every front at once. Black cohosh and sage go after the flashes and the sweats. Red clover, dong quai, and licorice fill in gently where your own hormones are falling. Motherwort steadies a racing heart and a short temper. Milky oat feeds nerves worn down to the wire so you can rest.

Organic Black Cohosh Root (Actaea racemosa) — The Lead

The tradition: A tall woodland plant of the eastern forests, with white flower spikes that tower over everything around them. Native women used the root for female troubles long before settlers arrived. In 1875, a Massachusetts woman named Lydia Pinkham put black cohosh in her Vegetable Compound, put her own face on the label, and sold it to women across America. It became the most famous women’s remedy of its century. Germany’s official herbal commission approved black cohosh for the discomforts of menopause.*

What’s in it: Triterpene glycosides, including actein.

Why it’s outstanding: Black cohosh is the most widely used herb in the world for hot flashes and night sweats. It works on the brain’s thermostat and mood signals, helping cool the flashes and calm the sweats. It also eases the irritability and low mood that ride along with them.*

Why true black cohosh: Black cohosh is one of the most often substituted herbs in the trade. We specify true Actaea racemosa.

Its job in this blend: It leads, cooling the flashes and the sweats.*

Organic Dong Quai Root (Angelica sinensis) — The Women’s Root

The tradition: In China, it’s called female ginseng, and it’s been the cornerstone of women’s formulas for more than a thousand years—used through every stage of a woman’s life.

What’s in it: Ferulic acid and ligustilide, the aromatic compound behind its celery-like smell.

Why it’s outstanding: Dong quai warms and nourishes, supports healthy circulation, and helps smooth out the uneven cycles and cramping of perimenopause.*

Its job in this blend: It nourishes and steadies a woman’s body through the transition.*

Organic Red Clover Blossom (Trifolium pratense) — The Gentle Filler

The tradition: The sweet pink-purple blossom that dots every hayfield, beloved by honeybees and grazing cattle alike.

What’s in it: Isoflavones—gentle plant compounds that act like a soft echo of your own estrogen.

Why it’s outstanding: As your own estrogen falls, red clover’s isoflavones gently fill in some of the gap. That helps with hot flashes and supports the bones and heart that estrogen used to protect.*

Its job in this blend: It softens the drop.*

Organic Sage Leaf (Salvia officinalis) — The Sweat Stopper

The tradition: Salvia comes from the Latin word for “to heal.” An old saying asked why anyone should die while sage grows in the garden. Granny’s sage was for the Thanksgiving dressing, but old herbalists knew it dries up sweating like nothing else.

What’s in it: Aromatic oils, rosmarinic acid, and flavonoids.

Why it’s outstanding: Sage is the old herb for drying up sweats—the hot flashes by day and the night sweats that soak the sheets.*

Its job in this blend: It turns down the sweating.*

Organic Motherwort Herb (Leonurus cardiaca) — The Heart Calmer

The tradition: Its Latin name, cardiaca, means “of the heart.” An old English saying promised that whoever drank motherwort would live to be a continual astonishment to their waiting heirs.

What’s in it: Bitter compounds and alkaloids, including leonurine.

Why it’s outstanding: Motherwort calms a heart that races and pounds for no reason, eases anxiety, and takes the edge off a temper that’s been running short.*

Its job in this blend: It steadies the heart and the mood.*

Organic Fresh Milky Oat Tops (Avena sativa) — The Nerve Feeder

The tradition: The same oat that becomes your oatmeal—but picked during a window of just a few days, when the young seed is plump and squirts out a white milk when you squeeze it. Miss that window, and the medicine is gone.

What’s in it: Alkaloids, minerals, and nourishing compounds found only in the milky stage.

Why it’s outstanding: Milky oat feeds and rebuilds nerves that have been worn down to the wire. It’s the herb for the frayed, fragile, can’t-take-one-more-thing feeling and for sleep that keeps breaking apart.*

Why fresh: Milky oat’s gifts only exist in the fresh, milky seed. Once it dries, they’re gone. We tincture ours fresh at harvest, at 1:2.

Its job in this blend: It rebuilds your reserves so you can rest.*

Organic Licorice Root (Glycyrrhiza glabra) — The Smoother

The tradition: In Chinese herbal tradition, licorice is called the great harmonizer. It shows up in more formulas than any other herb, smoothing out the rest. (It’s also the reason licorice candy exists.)

What’s in it: Glycyrrhizin, which gives it its sweetness, and plant compounds that gently act like estrogen.

Why it’s outstanding: Licorice supports the adrenal glands—your hormone backup system—and helps your body hold onto its own cortisol so you’re not running on empty. It also adds its own gentle plant-estrogen support.*

Its job in this blend: It backs up the adrenals and ties the whole blend together.*

Better Together: Menopause Perimenopause Wellness Tea

The tincture and the tea are made to work as a team. Alcohol pulls the strong compounds out of the herbs and concentrates them into drops. Hot water pulls out the minerals and plant compounds alcohol leaves behind—and a full tablespoon of whole herb in every cup is far more plant than any dropper can hold.

A simple rhythm: Take drops with breakfast and supper, and enjoy a cup of Menopause Perimenopause Wellness Tea in the afternoon. If hot flashes are your biggest trouble, let the tea cool and drink it iced. Use 1 tablespoon per 8 oz cup.

What Helps Besides the Bottle

• Eat protein at every meal. It steadies blood sugar, and blood sugar swings set off hot flashes.
• Cut the sugar and the alcohol. Both are hot-flash triggers, and alcohol wrecks sleep.
• Go easy on spicy food if it sets off a flash.
• Eat ground flaxseed, leafy greens, and beans. Flax carries its own gentle plant compounds, and the greens bring the magnesium and calcium your bones need now more than ever.
• Lift something heavy. Strength training protects the bone and muscle that estrogen used to protect.
• Walk every day, and get morning sun on your face. It sets your sleep clock.
• Keep the bedroom cool. Use cotton sheets, a fan, and layers you can kick off.
• Keep a steady bedtime.
• Take care of your stress. Your adrenals are your backup hormone supply. Quiet time, prayer, and rest are not luxuries right now.

Getting Ready — One Stage at a Time

Menopause Perimenopause isn’t a cleanse, so there’s nothing to clear out before you start. But two things help it work better. Granny’s rule still holds: Never more than two tinctures at a time.

Help Your Liver Clear Old Hormones

Your liver is what breaks down used-up hormones and sends them out. When it’s sluggish, they keep circulating—and that can make the swings worse.

• If your liver is behind—fatty food sits hard, you’re often queasy or constipated, or your stools run pale—run a round of Liver Cleanse first.
• Otherwise, take Organic Milk Thistle Tincture alongside Menopause Perimenopause to keep the liver supported while it works.

Shore Up the Backup System

If you’ve been running on stress for years—wired and tired, burned out, or waking at 3 a.m. with your mind racing—your adrenals need help, too. Run Adrenal Cortisol alongside Menopause Perimenopause, at a different time of day. If your blood pressure runs high, run them one at a time instead; both carry Organic Licorice Root.

Keep Your Bowels Moving

Aim for at least one good bowel movement every day. Used-up hormones leave through the bowels, and when they sit, some get taken back up.

Does Time of Month Matter?

No. The full-moon timing belongs to parasite cleansing because parasites are most active and laying eggs around the full moon. Start any day—and if your cycle is still coming, you don’t need to time it around your period.

How to Take It

Shake well—every time. This is a whole-herb extract, and plant matter settles to the bottom between doses. Sediment means the herbs are really in there. Shake before every dose so each serving carries the full blend.

Empty stomach or food? Take it with food. Black cohosh sits easier on a full stomach.

When: With breakfast and supper. If night sweats are your worst trouble, take the second dose closer to bedtime.

How: Take it in a little water.

• Adults: 30 drops, 2 times daily
• Teens 16+: 15 drops, once daily
• Sensitive individuals: Start with 10 drops
• Taste: Earthy and a little bitter, with sage up front and licorice sweetness at the finish.

Binders: Not Needed

Organic Menopause  Perimenopause Herbal Tincture Blend isn’t a cleanse. It doesn’t break anything loose or send a load of waste through the gut, so there’s nothing for a binder to catch.

If you’re taking a binder for another blend, keep it at least two hours away from your drops.

What to Expect

Herbs for the change aren’t a light switch. They build.

• The first two weeks: Many women notice sleep and mood first—a little more patience, a little more rest.
• Weeks four to eight: Hot flashes and night sweats ease off as the blend builds.
• Give it a full round: Six weeks before you decide.

There’s no herxing with this one. If your stomach is unsettled, take your drops with a bigger meal.

How Often and How Long

How often: 2 times a day, with food.

How long: Take it in rounds, always. Six weeks on, two weeks off, then start again. Never take it without a break. The two weeks off give your body—and your liver—a rest, and they’re part of what keeps black cohosh and sage working well.

For as long as you need it. Perimenopause can last years, and so can this blend, as long as you keep taking the breaks.*

Taking It With Other Godly Granny Blends

• Adrenal Cortisol: Shares Organic Licorice Root. They can run together at different times of day. If your blood pressure runs high, run one at a time.
• Organic Licorice Root Tincture: Don’t take it alongside this blend. The licorice in here counts.
• C-Monster Blend: Shares Organic Red Clover Blossom. Take them at different times of day.
• Blood Purifier: Shares Organic Red Clover Blossom. Take them at different times of day.

Why Violet Glass

Amber glass is so last century.

Every Godly Granny tincture is bottled in Miron violet glass, developed in Switzerland for makers who take freshness seriously.

Light protection. Clear, amber, and blue glass all let most visible light through, and visible light is what breaks a plant extract down. It drives the oxidation that fades color, flattens taste, and weakens the compounds you’re paying for. Violet glass blocks the entire visible spectrum, letting through only a narrow band of violet light, along with UV-A and infrared—the wavelengths that help preserve what’s inside.

Extended shelf life. Alcohol is a natural preservative. Paired with glass that keeps light off the extract, your bottle stays strong for years, not months—5–7 years when tightly closed and stored in a cool, dark place. No refrigeration needed.

Herb frequency retention. Every living plant carries its own subtle energy, or frequency. Miron’s makers—and many herbalists—hold that violet light helps keep that living quality intact long after harvest, so what’s in your bottle stays as close as possible to the plant it came from.

Who Should Not Take It

Do not take if any of the following apply:

• Pregnant or nursing.
• Under 16.
• Liver trouble: Black cohosh asks the liver to process it.
• A hormone-sensitive condition: Red clover, dong quai, and licorice all carry plant compounds that act like estrogen.
• High blood pressure: Licorice can raise it.
• Heavy bleeding: Dong quai and red clover can make heavy periods even heavier.
• A history of seizures: Sage carries thujone.
• Mint-family allergy: Sage and motherwort are in the mint family.
• A planned operation coming up: Stop two weeks before any planned operation because dong quai and red clover affect clotting.
• Avoiding alcohol completely: A 30-drop serving is less than a teaspoon of liquid, but it is alcohol.

Warnings

• Stop taking it if the whites of your eyes or your skin turn yellow, your urine turns dark brown, you have pain under your right ribs, or you feel unusually tired with a loss of appetite.
• Always take the two weeks off between rounds. Never take it without a break.
• Don’t double up on licorice. Skip the Organic Licorice Root Tincture while you’re on this blend.
• Go easy in the sun. Dong quai can make your skin burn faster.
• Keep out of reach of children.

Certified organic herbs, extracted at 1:5 dried and 1:2 fresh, with milky oat tinctured fresh at harvest. In Miron violet glass with a child-resistant dropper.
