Show Highlights & Big Takeaways
1. Fennel & Menopause New research shows that 100 mg of fennel twice per day (or a daily cup of fennel tea) can reduce hot flashes, irritability, joint discomfort, anxiety, and vaginal dryness, making it one of the top herbs for perimenopause and menopause.
2. Prunes & Bone Loss A review of 28 studies found that eating 5–10 prunes daily for six months helped maintain or improve bone mineral density in menopausal women, while also reducing markers of bone breakdown.
3. Non-Toxic De-Icer Used coffee grounds melt ice, add traction, and avoid the carpet-damaging, pet-irritating side effects of chloride-based chemical de-icers, making them a simple, natural winter hack.
