Some herbs for menopause
Herbs for menopause are now
widely available. These herbs are natural and can be taken either mixed in one's
food, as liquid like tea, or in capsule or tablet form. Below is a list of some
herbs for menopause with the specific symptoms they counter:
Black cohosh (cimicifuga racemosa)
The dried roots and rhizomes
of the black cohosh are good sources of estrogen, which specifically targets the
uterus to reduce cramps and congestion. It is also effective against hot
flashes.
Damiana (Turnera diffuse)
As pituitary regulator and
antidepressant, the dried leaves of the damiana can act as aphrodisiac to combat
sexual difficulties during menopause. However, excessive intake of these herbs
for menopause can irritate the urinary tract lining.
Chaste tree (Vilex agnus-castus)
The chaste tree's dried fruits
can alleviate depression caused by menopause.
Dong quai (Angelica sinensis)
The roots of this herb are
useful for estrogen deficiency as they contain natural plant estrogens called
phytosterols.
Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale)
The roots, tops, and leaves of
the dandelion can balance the hormones in one's liver, which can result to a
sense of well-being.
False unicorn root (Chamaelirium luteum)
As a herbal treatment for
ovarian cysts, the false unicorn root is an estrogen regulator and directly acts
on the uterus and ovaries.
Ginseng (Eleutherococcus senticosus, Panax quinquefolius)
As a fatigue fighter, ginseng
benefits the adrenal glands and immune system as it increases energy and
maintains blood pressure. However, ginseng can be harmful to those with high
blood pressure.
Gingko (Gingko biloba)
The leaves of gingko improve
brain function, circulation, and oxygenation of body cells as it helps alleviate
depression, which can be a symptom of menopause.
Liferoot (Senecio Bursas)
The liferoot is a uterine
tonic that has plant estrogens. It eliminates hot flashes as it gives emotional
and vascular stability.
Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra)
As a powerful adrenal
stimulant, the roots and rhizomes of the licorce are estrogenic. As with
ginseng, those with high blood pressure should be careful in using these herbs
for menopause.
Red clover (Tritolium pretense)
This herb contains coumestrol,
a plant estrogen, that can stimulate the ovaries. Red clover is also a treatment
for ovarian cysts.
Raspberry (Rubus idaeus)
A nutritive and astringent
estrogenic herb, raspberry works directly on the uterus muscles by toning them.
This herb also relaxes uterine and intestinal spasms as well as helps in the
correction of uterus prolapse.
St. John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum)
The flower of St. John's Wort
is a mild sedative that can combat anxiety.
Sage (Salvia officinalis)
The sage is effective in
relieving hot flashes and also in eliminating night sweats with the help of
plant estrogens present in its system.
Sarsaparilla (Smilax officinalis)
Though the sarsaparilla
stimulates testosterone production, this alternative herb increases libido and
energy.
Shepherd's purse (CapseIla bursapastoris)
The shepherd's purse has the
ability to normalize progesterone levels that is necessary to regulate menstrual
cycles if one is moving into menopause.
Saw palmetto (Serenoa serrulata)
The saw palmetto reduces
dryness and lack of tone in the bladder tissues which can lead to irritation and
weakness. This kind of herb for menopause is also an astringent diuretic that
can treat urinary incontinence, fluid retention, prolapse of pelvic organs, and
urinary tract infection.
True unicorn root (Aletris farinosa)
As an estrogenic herb, the
true unicorn root stimulates as well as strengthens the genital organs of women.
Wild yam (Dioscarea villosa)
The wild yam offers relief
from menopausal arthritis and can also reduce menstrual bleeding as it has
progestogenic properties.
IMPORTANT: Buy your herbs for menopause from pharmaceutical GMP-compliant
manufacturers.
