Licorice root,Chaste tree, Dong Quai, Black Cohosh, St. Johnswort, Kava Kava, Evening primrose oil.
The first four are for balancing hormones. St. Johnswort is a serotonin re-up inhibitor. Serotonin levels can be increased with:

Evening Primrose oil has Cis-Linoleic acid, and Gamma-linnolenic acid. Both are known to be enormously helpful.
