Menopause Herbs

Menopausal symptoms affect approximately two-thirds of women as they transition out of their reproductive years. Herbalists have discovered that many of the herbs traditionally used by women for the health concerns unique to women contain some of the highest amounts of these beneficial phytonutrients.

These herbs are often used for menopausal symptoms:

• Black Cohosh- used as a hormone regulator and a diuretic

• Dong Quai- for regulating menstrual cycles, reducing cramping and hot flashes

• Red Clover- used for hot flashes and night sweats

• Alfalfa- for hot flashes, insomnia, nocturnal sweating and dizziness

• Licorice- used to replenish vital energy

• Korean Ginseng- used for low libido

• St. John's Wort to relieve psychological and physical symptoms and to help enhance sexual well-being for menopausal women

• Motherwort for mood swings and hot flashes
