Emily’s recovery journey: From PMS, fatigue, mood swings to vitality, balance and calm
Struggling with Chronic Fatigue, PMS and Anxiety
Emily never imagined feeling calm, energized, and confident in her skin would be possible. For years, she struggled with relentless fatigue, anxiety, mood swings, and stubborn acne. As a 28-year-old care worker, her demanding job left her drained, and the rollercoaster of PMS symptoms only added to her struggles. She felt trapped in a cycle of exhaustion and frustration, unsure how to break free.
That's when we made contact: she signed up to the my therapeutic programme and together we started making important changes in diet and lifestyle, including the use of herbal medicine
Lifestyle, Nutrition and Herbal Medicine
The program started with key lifestyle adjustments and targeted nutrition support. I recommended Emily introduce fish oil and magnesium supplements — both vital for calming the nervous system, balancing hormones, and regulating blood sugar. The main dietary suggestion was to avoid heating and dampening foods like nuts, garlic, onions, gluten, dairy, and processed foods: she quickly noticed positive changes.
In addition to these dietry changes, I prescribed her a tailored herbal medicine preparation designed to nourish her adrenals, cleanse her liver, and support her skin health. This included powerful herbs like peony root, codonopsis root, and yarrow. Each herb played a key role in soothing her frazzled nervous and endocrine system, balancing her hormones, and improving her overall resilience.
Experiencing Transformation
Over the weeks, Emily felt her energy steadily increase. The relentless brain fog began to lift, and for the first time in years, she felt more grounded and emotionally stable. The mood swings that had dictated her days became far less intense. Even her PMS symptoms, which had once made her monthly cycle unbearable and caused her skin to flare up, dramatically improved.
The biggest transformation, however, was her skin. After years of battling persistent acne, her complexion finally began to clear. Her skin looked healthier, brighter, and calmer — a reflection of the inner balance she was finally achieving.
After our 6 months’ journey together, Emily’s life transformed, a she started to feel more vibrant, grounded, and in control of her health. The combination of nutrition, herbal medicine, and targeted lifestyle adjustments gave her the tools she needed to thrive.
To anyone feeling overwhelmed by fatigue, anxiety, or stubborn skin issues, Emily's story is a reminder that a new balance can be achieved through a holistic approach using herbs, food and daily practices is possible.
