Also used to relieve PMS symptoms, including breast pain/tenderness, headaches, and mood swings, regulate menstrual cycles and support women with hormonal imbalances or PCOS.
It can also help ease the perimenopause and menopausal symptoms.
Rather than adding hormones to the body, it stimulates the pituitary gland to regulate luteinizing hormone (LH) production and balance estrogen and progesterone levels. The dopaminergic compounds in the fruit also help lower prolactin levels.
Not recommended for women who are pregnant or nursing. Avoid use if you have hormone-sensitive cancers or are taking hormone-replacement therapy or birth control. Use caution if you take dopamine-related or Parkinson's medications.
+++ Always consult a physician before utilizing any plant as food or medicine.
Not minimum combined purchase of fresh items is $50 — $40 dried. Smaller quantities can be ordered and ship with other available in store products. Message prior to finalizing.

Mad for Mushrooms is dedicated to the proliferation and learning of wild foods and natural ecosystems. Predominantly foraged, I focus on unusual, and wildly delicious foodstuffs for regional chefs and restaurants. Collaboration is essential to the work, outside of foraging and sharing knowledge, I am interested in product development, and alternative applications of biomimetics. As a vendor with Foraged Market, I hope to reach a wider audience, exciting more minds and mouths with nutritionally dense wild food products. The majority of items will be sourced in the forests and hillsides of the Ohio River Valley. However, when indicated, certain items have been successfully wild-grown in my organic, vegan, urban garden to offer a greater variety.
Please visit the shop to see what we hope to discover, and feel free to reach out with any questions.
