Phytoprogestogen
Okay kiddo, you know how plants grow and have different parts like leaves and flowers? Well, sometimes these parts can have special little chemicals in them called phytoprogestogens.
Now, what's so special about these chemicals? They can act kind of like a hormone called progesterone, which is usually made in our bodies. Progesterone helps with things like making babies and keeping our periods regular.
So when we eat or use a plant that has phytoprogestogens in it, it can also help our bodies do these things. Some examples of plants with these chemicals are wild yam, dong quai, and licorice.
But, it's important to remember that just because something has phytoprogestogens, it doesn't mean it's always safe to use. Some of these plants can have side effects or interact with medicines we might be taking. That's why it's always important to talk to a doctor or grown-up before trying any new herbal remedies.
