HERBAL EXTRACTS FOR WOMEN’S HEALTH
3Sixty reasons why herbal extracts are becoming the preferred choice to manage women’s health issues.
The Salome range, launched in 2020 by South African pharmaceutical company 3Sixty Biomedicine, is dedicated to women’s health issues. Over the counter treatment options use herbal extracts to manage heavy menstrual bleeding, menstrual pain, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and infertility linked to PCOS.
WOMEN’S HEALTH CONDITIONS THAT CAN CRAMP YOUR STYLE & HERBAL EXTRACTS THAT HELP
Primary dysmenorrhea, or period pain is the most common gynaecologic problem in women with cramping severe enough to interfere with daily activities, according to the American Academy of Family Physicians. Salome Menstrual Pain contains herbal extracts of yarrow (Achillea millefolium) with antispasmodic, anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, providing relief for menstrual spasms. Being natural, it is safe for teenagers.
Menorrhagia (heavy menstrual flow and prolonged bleeding) is another common problem experienced by women. Salome Heavy Menstrual Bleeding uses herbal extracts from Capsella Bursa-Pastoris (Shepherd’s purse), a plant scientifically proven to smooth muscle stimulant effects. It also has antioxidants that improve uterine tone, regulate menstrual flow and anti-inflammatory properties positively impacting heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB).
THE ABCS OF PCOS (POLYCYSTIC OVARY SYNDROME)
Salome Polycos helps symptoms of PCOS by decreasing testosterone levels and increasing progesterone levels regulating the menstrual cycle, and reducing blood pressure.
It also increases insulin activity in women diagnosed with PCOS, who often experience insulin resistance. PCOS and hormonal imbalances often present acne, irregular periods, male pattern hair loss or excessive body hair growth (hirsutism).
Polycos’s main active ingredient is D-chiro-inositol (DCI), a natural extract from the carob bean tree. Where infertility is linked to hormonal imbalances caused by PCOS, patients using Salome Fertility with Myo-inositol and D-Chiroinositol have seen an increase in ovulation, reduction in hyperandrogenism and in the oxidative stress in follicular fluid. The efficacy is in the correct ratio of Myo-inositol and D-Chiro-inositol from the Carob bean tree. Clinical studies show these natural extracts regulate ovarian function in PCOS patients.
