What are Menopause Support Herbs?
Research studies indicate black cohosh is safe and effective in helping relieve psychological (e.g., anxiety, depression) and physical (e.g., hot flashes) symptoms of menopause. One double blind trial of a formulation containing licorice, dong quai, wild yam, burdock and motherwort was found to reduce symptoms of menopause. No effects on hormone levels were detected. Another study found the medicinal herb, sage leaf extract, may reduce night sweats due to menopausal hot flashes.
Other Herbs that Support Menopause (and Their Benefits):
- Vitex – Vitex contains several different constituents, including flavonoids, iridoid glycosides, and terpenoids. The whole fruit extract, rather than one of its individual constituents, appears to be necessary for the medicinal activity of vitex. Vitex does not contain hormones. The benefits of vitex stem from its actions upon the pituitary gland—specifically on the production of a hormone called luteinizing hormone (LH).
- Rehmannia – dissipates heat from the body and blood, and helps strengthen the immune system.
- Dong quai root – Supports treatment for hot flashes, menstrual flow problems and painful menstruation. Commonly referred to as the “female ginseng.”
- Chastetree extract (also known as Vitex) – Helps regulate the menstrual cycle.
- Ginko biloba – Clinical studies have shown ginko biloba supports improve-ment with memory loss, cognitive function and depression. It also helps alleviate bloating and fluid retention in PMS (pre-menstrual syndrome).
- Licorice root – Often a base ingredient in herb remedies because it can limit the harsh properties other herbs may exhibit.
