Full manufacturer description

The following description was supplied by the manufacturer. The stated properties are the manufacturer’s claims, not confirmation that the product effectively treats disease.

Ortilia Secunda Tincture — Sidebells Wintergreen

The source describes Ortilia secunda, also known as borovaya matka or sidebells wintergreen, as one of the leading and best-known plants in traditional herbal medicine for comprehensive support of female reproductive health, hormonal balance and the treatment of urinary and genital inflammation.

The description lists natural phytoestrogens, phytoprogesterone, arbutin—described as a urinary antiseptic—hydroquinone, tannins, flavonoids, vitamin C and organic acids. These constituents are credited with anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, stimulating and hormone-balancing activity.

Who the manufacturer describes it for and its intended uses

• Female hormonal balance. The product is described for women with hormonal imbalance, irregular periods, amenorrhoea (absence of menstruation) or abnormal menstrual bleeding.
• Fertility and preparation for pregnancy. The source claims assistance with infertility of inflammatory or hormonal origin, improved endometrial quality and support for ovarian function.
• Chronic gynaecological conditions. The description lists endometriosis, uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, mastopathy (breast lumpiness) and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
• Urinary and genital inflammation. The extract is credited with helping address chronic pelvic inflammation, cervicitis (cervical inflammation), cystitis (bladder inflammation) and pyelonephritis (kidney infection).
• Menopausal symptoms. The source claims relief of hot flushes, irritability, mood changes and sleep disturbances associated with declining oestrogen levels.
• Support for men. Complementary use is also described for chronic prostatitis and urinary-tract inflammation.

Expected effects described by the manufacturer

• 1. Reduced inflammation in the reproductive system: antiseptic action and clearance of infections in the uterus, fallopian tubes and urinary tract.
• 2. A balanced oestrogen-to-progesterone ratio: restored menstrual regularity and reduced severe period pain (dysmenorrhoea).
• 3. Resolution and reduction of cystic processes: support for shrinking benign growths and cysts in uterine and ovarian tissue.
• 4. Stronger tissues and improved pelvic circulation: increased blood flow to pelvic organs to help restore inflamed tissue.

Warnings and contraindications in the source

The product is not intended for pregnant or breastfeeding women. The source also excludes use during menstrual bleeding; the following fragment, ‘הציסטות/כבד’—literally ‘cysts/liver [or “heavy”]’—is unclear and needs clarification from the manufacturer. The source advises consulting a qualified healthcare professional when taking potent hormonal medicines or in cases of completely blocked fallopian tubes.
