Pueraria Mirifica Root

Pueraria mirifica root comes from a plant native to Thailand and Myanmar, also called Kwao Krua Kao. It has been used in traditional Thai medicine for centuries, mainly for women’s health, rejuvenation, and hormonal balance. Its root is especially valued because it contains phytoestrogens (plant-based compounds similar to estrogen).
