In this episode, Diana is joined by Seraphina Capranos, a certified herbalist and homeopath, to discuss holistic strategies for managing perimenopausal symptoms through herbal medicine. They discuss the benefits of herbs such as motherwort, wild yam, and vitex (chaste tree berry) for supporting liver function and soothing the nervous system, particularly in individuals experiencing stress and hormonal imbalances.

 Seraphina explains the antispasmodic and liver-supporting properties of wild yam and addresses common misconceptions about its hormonal effects. The episode also explores mood swings related to hormonal changes, recommending herbs like lemon balm for anxiety and cinnamon and hawthorn for depression.
