About Us
Cycle Sisters Apothecary combines cycle syncing, the practice of aligning lifestyle with the 4 phases of the menstrual cycle, with herbal medicine, the practice of using plants to support health and well-being.
​
This powerful combination is the best natural remedy for PMS, PMDD, painful period cramps, mood swings, cystic acne, bloating, and other signs of hormonal imbalance.
We believe every woman deserves to feel at home in her body, every day of the month.
Your cycle is more than just your period.
Cycle Sync 4 Pack:
Your daily herbal protocol to support hormonal balance, energy & mood and reduce the likelihood of PMS & period pain.

We prioritize organic, sustainably sourced herbs and believe in natural alternatives over synthetic options, which may have side effects and often fail to address the root cause of PMS and period pain. We are proud to offer high-quality herbal formulas that address the root cause of PMS and period pain and support multiple systems of the body including the endocrine, nervous and liver.
​
Get ahead of it.
​​
We believe in proactive, holistic support—nurturing your body with herbal nourishment and cycle-syncing practices throughout the month—to prevent discomfort, rather than focusing on challenges like cramps, mood swings or bloating only when they arise.
Founder of Cycle Sisters, Suzie Herrmann aims to help women
embrace their menstrual cycles instead of just enduring them.
Our Story
Cycle Sisters was born in the beautiful Columbia River Gorge of the Pacific Northwest when Founder, Suzie Herrmann, a lifelong PMS sufferer, decided she’d had enough of temporary fixes like pain meds and hormonal birth control, that weren't addressing the root cause of her issues. With a passion for the natural world, gardening and plant medicine, Suzie turned to herbal medicine to find lasting relief.

Gorge of Washington state, where she lives and created Cycle Sisters.
What started as a quest for acute symptom relief quickly grew into a deeper understanding: supporting every phase of the cycle could prevent symptoms before they began.
Suzie's original set up was a simple two
dropping funnel at home apothecary system.
Suzie teamed up with her dear
friend, Dr. Brenden Witte, a naturopathic
doctor specializing in hormonal health, to
create products that combine the power of
herbal medicine and cycle syncing with
science-backed expertise.
Together, they developed remedies
that go beyond quick fixes to
restore balance at the root.
Dr. Brenden Witte, ND is a women’s & men’s health
physician who specializes in hormonal balance.
