What causes period discomfort? How do these herbs help with that?

During menstruation, the body experiences natural contractions as the uterine lining is shed. These contractions are influenced by compounds like prostaglandins, which play a role in the intensity of this process. Certain herbs are traditionally used to promote balance during this time by supporting hormonal harmony and encouraging relaxation. This approach aims to nurture overall comfort and cyclical well-being.

What does this taste like?

All formulas contain mint for a refreshing and cooling flavor, complemented by slightly bitter and earthy undertones. If you're adjusting to the herbal taste, try diluting it in a small amount of water or tea and adding honey or lemon for a personalized touch. Over time, many find the taste grows on them—similar to developing a palate for fine wine or coffee! Some users even describe it as reminiscent of honey with wildflowers.

Can I take the herbs if I’m on the pill/ taking birth control?

Elix can be safely used alongside birth control. The herbs in our formulas are designed to support hormonal balance without interfering with the effectiveness of hormonal contraceptives. While they work to promote balance and address cycle-related discomforts, their actions focus on reducing inflammation, easing discomfort, and supporting mood for overall well-being.

What if I’m trying to get pregnant?

The herbal formulas can be used while trying to conceive but should not be taken during pregnancy. If you suspect you might be pregnant, avoid taking the formula before your expected period and only begin once your period starts to ensure you're not pregnant. For best results, it’s recommended to use the herbs proactively, but they can still be used as needed—you may simply need to adjust the frequency of use to suit your needs.

If you would like to initiate a return on unopened non-cycle balance products, please email team@elixhealing.com for instructions to initiate a return/refund.

How does your pricing compare to others?

Elix formulas contain a higher concentration of herbs compared to anything else we could find on the market (others use less than the general recommended dosage or give less volume, and we refuse to skimp). We believe this is why it works for about 90% of women who try it. As you can imagine, there are certain costs associated with creating a sustainably sourced, high-quality product that we not only stand behind, but also feel proud to use ourselves. We try to make our prices more accessible than the costs of seeing an herbalist or acupuncturist to get personalized herbs (which would typically be at least $65-150+ for the consult then $60-100 for the herbs).

Does taking the online questionnaire and/or taking Elix’s herbal formulas replace a visit to a doctor?

Absolutely not! Please be sure to consult your primary health care physician before starting any new supplement routine.

Curious how to talk to your doctor about Elix? A good place to start is to show them our Meet The Herbs page, which gives an overview of our research. If you take our Elix Quiz you'll be sent a personalized recommendation for an herbal formula, which is also great to bring to your doctor for review.
