Herbal Remedy for Menopause: The Best Way Out

herbal remedy for menopause is common practice. There are a vast number of herbs which have been identified to
specifically target the symptoms caused by menopause, and all of them are quite effective. The best herbal remedy
for menopause is made of the following herbs among others:
Soy beans: This is one plant which has tremendous amounts of phytoestrogens or plant estrogens. Hence,
instead of relying upon the synthetic hormone replacement therapy and risk cancer and blood clots, it is easier to
introduce soy beans into your diet. The efficiency of the treatment is as good if not better than the HRT
anyday.
Black cohosh: This is an exceptionally effective herb for hot flashes. Though it should not be takes more
than six months at a stretch, it is found to be exceptional with hot flashes which are one of the worst possible
symptoms of the pre-menopause symptoms.
Chaste-berry: This plant is known by a host of other names such as sage tree, monk’s pepper, etc and it is
found quite good as a calming agent as well as reduces the intensity and recurrence of migraines.
St John’s wort: This herb is found to be helpful in treating depression and can be used for long periods of
time. However, it has a few side effects, i.e. some women found that it makes their skin oversensitive to sun. In
some cases it also interferes with anti-depressant medication.
Ginseng: This herb is mostly used as a relaxant and anti-depressant. It has little effects on hot flushes,
but it does relieve to a great extent depression and anxiety bouts.
Valerian roots: This is a good relaxant and sleep inducer – exceptional for menopause insomnia. However,
since it has some bad side effects such as delirium and withdrawal symptoms similar to drugs, it has not been
recommended for use.
These are only a few of the immense list of the herbal remedy for menopause, and everyday more and more are joining
the list. Women prefer the natural, herbal remedy for menopause to the regular treatments because the risks
involved are lesser and their efficiency is higher.
