Using Herbal Menopause Remedies


Every woman approaching or experiencing the end of her menstrual periods wants to know how to cope with menopause symptoms. There are medical treatments which include hormonal replacement therapy and antidepressants.

There are also herbal products that can be used for relief. Learn more about the herbal remedies for menopause and how they work to decide whether they will help in your case.

Perhaps the most popular menopause herbal remedy of all is Black Cohosh, a product whose active ingredient is extracted from a plant of the buttercup family.

It can be taken as a dietary supplement. Studies have shown that black cohosh mimics the effects of estrogen in the body.

You will experience fewer and milder hot flashes and have better sleep, which will improve your mood. Researchers have shown that this herbal remedy is as effective as estrogen hormonal pills.

Ginseng root is another one of the herbal supplements that are known to help with menopause symptoms. Several studies have shown that it is effective in relieving anxiety and depression, and is recommended for mood swings as well.

There is not enough evidence to confirm that ginseng root helps with hot flashes, but it has a positive effect on thinking and memory. Researchers have found that it stimulates brain activity.

Dong quai and chamomile may help with hot flashes and promote relaxation. A recent study involving the simultaneous use of both herbs has shown that they work well to relieve the most common menopause symptoms.

While dong quai has not been studied as much, chamomile is known to help in relaxing the body.

It has a calming effect on the mind and can promote good sleep. You can readily use chamomile tea to obtain at least some relief from the common symptoms of menopause.

St John's Wort is another one of the most commonly used herbal remedies for menopause symptoms. It has been studied extensively and is known to be effective in the treatment of mild to moderate depression.

Research results have shown that this herb may also relieve the other common symptoms of menopause. In general, St John's Wort is used by many women who claim that it is very helpful.

It is essential to consult your doctor before taking any sort of herbal remedy for your menopause symptoms.

This is because otherwise safe herbs, when taken in higher dosages and when combined with certain medications, may produce side effects. Furthermore, herbal supplements may have adverse effects on people with chronic medical conditions.
