Till 19, I thought having irregular periods was normal—but then I left home to study abroad and my whole life changed. My skin got oiler, messier. Every time I ran my fingers through my hair, chunks came out and it totally wrecked my confidence.Like most of us, I wanted a quick fix. Over-the-counter pills, expensive treatments, literally anything that claimed it could stop the hair fall. News flash––it didn’t.
Our journey started with a question: what if healing could feel simple, natural, and kind?
For the longest time, I thought irregular periods were normal—until the hair fall began. Not a strand here or there, but clumps that made me scream in horror. And then came the guesswork––maybe it's the stress, maybe it's the food. But the problem was much deeper!
I didn't! I flew back home and visited a doctor, and she diagnosed me with PCOS - a condition where your hormones go haywire, and your body just stops listening to you. The fix sounded simple: take a pill. So I did. It helped with the hair fall, but wrecked my skin, and it pushed me even further into my shell.
I knew if I wanted to feel better in my body, there had to be a better way. So I stopped chasing quick fixes; they got me through college, but they were never sustainable. Once I moved back home, I turned to the one person I trusted most - my mom. As a renowned nutritionist with decades of experience in women's hormonal health, I knew she'd have all the right answers.
My mom and I started looking for solutions, and I remembered the spearmint tea I loved in college - it always made me feel calm and centred. I couldn't find anything like it here, so we began experimenting. With help from Ayurvedic doctors and a lot of trial and error, a new recipe slowly came together - what we call the Hormone Balancing Brew today.
That was the beginning of The Basics Woman. It is our attempt to create meaningful, natural products that help you find the kind of balance I did. With the right lifestyle changes, our blends support a more holistic, lasting approach to hormone health without the fluff. And that's what makes us different!
