Four Powerful Herbs For Significant Menopause Relief

Herbs for menopause can help relieve the many symptoms that arise as women reach this challenging stage in their lives. The condition affects all women as a natural part of the aging process, and herbal treatments are one way to combat the issue.

Menopause is brought about by the body's inability to produce necessary levels of estrogen and progesterone, two vital hormones. The decreased production triggers the myriad health issues described below.

The initial stages are marked by irregular periods and PMS-like symptoms. As menopause sets in, many women experience hot flashes and sweats. As a woman gets older, other problems arise such as an increase in bone loss, losing of the hair, vaginal dryness, memory loss and depression.

What are the most popular menopause herbs?

Black Cohosh - also called squawroot, black cohosh contains compounds in its roots with powerful therapeutic properties. These compounds mimic the effects of estrogen, and as such fight PMS symptoms, menstrual cramps and hot flashes. It is a popular alternative to hormone replacement therapy (HRT).

Wild Yam - a vine-like plant native to the eastern United States, wild yam extract contains isoflavones which relieve menopause symptoms, help maintain bone levels and reduce blood clotting.

Dong Quai - a small perennial herb native to China and Japan, dong quai reduces flushing and sweats, vaginal dryness and bladder weakness. Dong quai also contains phytoestrogens that can remedy menstrual irregularities.

Red Clover - like wild yam, this herb contains isoflavones which help treat menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, sweats, loss of sexual desire and mood swings. It could also play a role in osteoporosis prevention.

**UPDATE** According to recent research, there are some other nutrients that may be helpful in alleviating various symptoms of menopause as we age.

They include flaxseed, evening primrose and Vitamin E as well as the B family and can address hot flashes, stress and hormone imbalance.

What's the best way to treat menopause symptoms naturally?

Should you take all of these herbs separately or together in one comprehensive formula?

We recommend that you take these herbs together if possible for many reasons:

1. Taking each menopause herb separately could prove very costly as you would have to buy many different supplements.

2. Mixing and matching herbs on your own could be dangerous to your health.

3. Many herbs working together can offer more therapeutic benefits, often better than a single herb on its own.

4. All of these herbs have to be balanced perfectly in order to be optimally effective.
