Behind Second Spring:
“I watched the women in my life move through menopause with almost no map for it, and I wanted to support them to feel steady in themselves again. Chinese medicine has long called this passage a second spring, its own season of renewal. Second Spring draws on that same Kidney-Yin tradition, rebuilding what this stage empties from the body — Blood, Yin, the reserves everything else depends on, so hot flushes ease, sleep deepens, and mood steadies, together. This is why Second Spring exists.”
— Molly Salmon, Founder
Grounded in both tradition and research. Second Spring draws on Chinese medicine dating back thousands of years, and we've paired every ingredient with the modern research that helps explain how it works.
Ingredient 1:Shu Di Huang
Eases menopausal symptoms and supports ovarian health
A 17-trial meta-analysis found Rehmannia significantly eased hot flushes and menopausal symptoms, while other research shows it also supports ovarian follicle development and hormone balance.
Ingredient 2:Dang Gui
Eases hot flashes and nourishes healthy blood
Clinical trials found Dang Gui Buxue Tang reduced hot flash frequency and severity by up to 37% at higher doses, while separate research shows Angelica sinensis helps restore healthy blood production and iron levels.
Ingredient 3:Bai Shao
Eases hot flashes and supports emotional balance
Research found Paeonia lactiflora reduced hot flash-related temperature spikes and rebalanced reproductive hormones, while its active compound paeoniflorin eased stress-induced low mood and anxiety in other studies.
Ingredient 4:Huang Qi
Eases menopausal symptoms and supports energy
A randomised clinical trial found an Astragalus-based extract significantly improved menopausal symptom scores versus placebo, while other research shows Astragalus polysaccharides protect mitochondrial function to help fight fatigue.

Recommended by my acupuncturist
She suggested Dang Gui and Shu Di Huang specifically, and this blend has exactly what I was looking for.
Beyond the tin
Second Spring is a foundation, not the whole practice. Here are a few of the everyday things that support it.
Warm, cooked meals over cold or raw. Easier on digestion, which is where the body's nourishment really starts.
Black sesame, walnuts and dark leafy greens, traditionally used in Chinese medicine to build Blood and nourish Kidney Yin.
Gentle, grounding movement — walking, yin yoga, qigong — over anything that leaves you depleted rather than restored.
A consistent wind-down before bed, same time each night, screens down, whatever helps you wind down.
Talking openly with women who get it, rather than surviving this alone.
Traditionally, this stage of life was marked and supported together, a Second Spring, not something to hide.
