MENOPAUSE

There are many herbs that can help relieve menopause symptoms, which approximately 70 percent of women experience. The most common symptoms include hot flashes, mood swings, vaginal dryness, insomnia, and restlessness.

Black cohosh improves symptoms of menopause and premenstrual syndrome due to chemicals in the plant that mimic the effects of estrogen; it has consistently been used medically in several European counties for over fifty years.408 Sage and red clover are wonder-herbs which combat hot flashes and night sweats while balancing hormones.409 Wild yam is a “remedy for menstrual discomfort and menopausal symptoms, and has also been suggested as an alternative to hormone replacement therapy (HRT).”410
