  1. It works on the pituitary's schedule, not yours. Three cycles before you judge it. And if you're on HRT of any kind, tell your prescriber first — chasteberry has opinions about prolactin.
    What do you reach for?

  3. Chasteberry. One teaspoon dried, covered pot, fifteen minutes simmering, ten more off the heat. Peppery, faintly bitter, more broth than tea.
    The old remedy for hormonal weather — the cycle that arrives sideways, the perimenopausal months that feel like being renovated from the inside.

  5. Tastes like hay and honey and a little like the meadow's own sweat. A blood-mover. An old friend to the lymph.

    My grandmother never called it a phytoestrogen.

    She'd have said it cools the blood, and she'd have been right on the merits.

    What do you reach for when the blood runs hot?

  10. Red clover — seamrag dhearg. Pick the blossoms in full sun after the dew burns off, when the heads are dry and springy and the bees have had their turn.

    Steep a heaping tablespoon in near-boiling water, covered, ten minutes. Covered matters — that's the whole medicine going up your ceiling otherwise.

  15. Luibh a' chridhe — the herb of the heart.

    Motherwort, the lion's-tail. A strong short steep of the dried leaf when the chest won't settle and the news has your pulse over-revved. The Latin cardiaca earns its keep — generations of women reached for the lion's-tail when the heart wouldn't quiet.

  20. The jaw you've clenched since November has a plant that answers it.

    Bruise a scant teaspoon of culinary lavender between your fingers and steep it three minutes — no longer, or it turns to soap — in warm milk before bed. Lus na tùise, the herb of fragrance. The calm isn't folklore; it's linalool, easing the nervous system down off the ledge.

  25. The grey beard on the old oaks after rain — crotal in the Gaelic, the lichen the trees wear like a wizard's whiskers. You can't cold-steep usnea; the usnic acid barely dissolves in water.

    What do you reach for when the air turns against you?

  30. Tip a spoonful of fennel seed into a dry pan, no oil, and shake until the kitchen goes to licorice and warm earth. Ninety seconds.
    Chew a pinch after a heavy plate — lus an t-saoidh, the herb of ease. Raw seed is medicine; toasted seed is medicine that tastes like it wants to be there.
