A Founder's Story

I Didn't Set Out to Build a Brand.
I Set Out to Help My Daughter.

What started as a mother searching for a better answer became a discovery that changed two lives - and then many more.

From Gita, Founder of Neeshi

The Moment Everything Changed

My daughter was suffering. Eight heavy flow days. Four days of cramps so severe that ibuprofen barely touched them. Severe acne outbreaks month after month. I watched her lose days of her life to her period, and nothing we tried made a real difference.

At the same time, I was deep in perimenopause. My period was coming every 14 days and lasting 10. Eight days of heavy flow. Four or five days of painful cramps. I was waking up drenched in sweat every single night, exhausted every day, and my hair was falling out at an alarming rate.

Then I started paying attention to food, specifically to the nutrients that support hormone balance. I changed what we ate. I added pumpkin seeds, flax, almonds, and cacao in the right combinations at the right times. And something shifted.

My daughter went from 8 heavy flow days to 3 days of light flow. Her cramps disappeared. Her skin cleared. My own periods became 3 days of light, pain-free flow. I started sleeping through the night. My energy came back. My hair grew fuller.

I couldn't keep this to myself.

My Own Perimenopause Journey

Before and after three cycles of daily Neeshi

Before
  • Period every 14 days, lasting 10 days
  • 8 days of very heavy flow
  • 4–5 days of painful cramps
  • Waking up drenched in sweat every night
  • Exhausted all day, hair falling out excessively
After
  • 3 days of light, pain-free periods each month
  • Sleeping through the night
  • Energy levels restored
  • Hair healthy and fuller

I wanted to know: was this just us? So I enlisted 18 women, different ages, different ethnicities, different stages of life, and asked them to try Neeshi daily for three cycles and tell me honestly what they experienced.

What They Told Us

Self-reported results from 18 women after 3 cycles of daily Neeshi

96%less severe cramps
95%lighter periods
83%more stable energy
92%fewer mood swings
97%improved sleep
99%would recommend Neeshi
96%less severe cramps

Every woman who had cramps reported relief

Every participant who came in with painful periods told us their cramps were significantly less severe. Several stopped reaching for ibuprofen entirely, something they hadn't been able to do in years.

Why it helps

Cacao and pumpkin seeds are rich in magnesium, which helps relax uterine muscles. Flax lignans support progesterone balance, addressing one root cause of cramping at the hormonal level.

"After just one cycle, my cramps were significantly less, I didn't have to take any pain medication."

A cycle you can actually live around

Women who used to plan their calendars around heavy days told us their flow was noticeably lighter and more manageable especially on the hardest days of their cycle. They stopped dreading their period.

Why it helps

Our seed blend supports a healthier estrogen-to-progesterone ratio. When these hormones are better balanced, the uterine lining builds more evenly and sheds more gently.

"I used to plan travel around my cycle because my periods were so heavy. Now my period is so much more manageable."

83%more stable energy

Fewer crashes. More consistent days.

Participants reported steadier energy across their entire cycle, not just during the high-energy follicular phase. Protein, healthy fats, and key micronutrients support steady blood sugar and nourish adrenal health throughout the month.

Bonus finding

Several women also noticed their hair was falling out less in the shower, on their pillow, and on their brush - a benefit we hadn't specifically set out to measure.
