We refuse to accept that women should suffer through PMS, perimenopause, and menopause. Through evidence-based natural formulations rooted in centuries of herbal tradition, we deliver real relief, empowering women to reign over their bodies, not be ruled by their hormones.
Ingredients Sourced from the Best in the World
At Empress, we've built relationships with suppliers who don't just meet standards—they set them. From South Korean herb farms to five-generation TCM manufacturers, every ingredient is chosen for purity, potency, and proven results.
What is Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)?
Traditional Chinese Medicine is a comprehensive healing system developed over 3,000+ years in Asia, based on the principle that health is achieved when the body's vital energy (Qi) flows freely and the fundamental substances (Blood, Essence, Fluids) are in balance.
What is Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM)?
Traditional Korean Medicine shares the same philosophical foundations as TCM but evolved with distinct herbal formulations and diagnostic approaches specific to the Korean peninsula's climate, botanical resources, and cultural practices. Korean herbs are renowned for their exceptional potency and purity.
Traditional Chinese Medicine is traditionally practiced through one-on-one consultations, where practitioners create customized herbal formulations tailored to each patient's unique pattern of imbalance. This personalized approach is powerful—and it's how Sheena Jongeneel practiced for 19 years. But here's the reality: most women don't have access to a skilled TCM practitioner. And even those who do may not have the time or resources for ongoing custom formulations.
That's why we created Empress differently.Instead of requiring a consultation or customized prescription, we've formulated foundational, broad-spectrum products that address the most common patterns of imbalance we've seen across thousands of patients.
Sheena Jongeneel L.Ac. is the co- founder and CEO of Empress, a women's wellness and hormone health supplement line. As a frontline healthcare provider and practitioner with 18 years of experience, Sheena brings evidence-based natural herbs and botanicals to market—formulated from her extensive clinical expertise.
The inspiration for Empress came when her daughter experienced her first period with excruciating cramps.
Determined to help not just her daughter but women everywhere, Sheena set out to translate her clinical knowledge into carefully formulated CPG products developed alongside a South Korean MD.
Throughout her 18 years in practice, Sheena has witnessed time-tested, scientifically validated herbs successfully address PMS, perimenopause, and menopause—alleviating symptoms including night sweats, hot flashes, low libido, acne, weight gain, painful periods, and mood swings.
She is currently pursuing her Doctorate in Women's Reproductive Health, furthering her expertise in women's hormone health and her mission to provide natural, effective, accessible solutions for women at every life stage.
Empress combines ancient TCM wisdom with modern science to help you feel balanced, energized, and heard.
