As a certified herbalist and health management educator I am often asked for recommendations of alternative herbal options to aid in the fight against various medical issues. These are only my opinions, as a result of experiences gathered from clients, friends and family who have shared with me the results of using various teas and tinctures I have created to assist them.
Menopause can come with a plethora of symptoms or just a few. They don’t come always come at once, and you may not experience all of them. There are some herbs specific to particular symptoms such as Black Cohosh for HOT FLASHES (most common) and there are herbs then help to balance and regulate the hormones, while others influence the Estrogen or Progesterone levels in the body.
- My favorite herbs are those providing a balancing effect that will also target some of the key symptoms of menopause: hot flashes, irregular periods, low libido, vaginal dryness, skin changes, sleep changes and depression.
A few of my favorite choices include Vitex, Donq quai and Maca root. Vitex,also known as chaste tree berry, targets hormonal balancing. It can alleviate emotional instability = PMS related to menstrual cycle, help to regulate the cycle as the changes occur and improve hormonally caused skin changes. It can be taken as a tea, capsule, or tincture but should be consumed with foods. Chaste tree is quite safe, however (there is possibility it can interfere with birth control pills and should not be taken by pregnant women. i say this even though we are talking about Menopause here.) Donq quai is another great balancer. It’s great for improving the skin, especially as we age and does an excellent job of warding off depression and hot flashes and alleviates vaginal dryness. Lastly, one of my favorite herbs, Maca root, is superb for increases the libido, raises energy levels, alleviating depression and it can even stimulate the immune system, all that from the equivalent of a radish!
All of these herbs are safe however as always, use caution if your taking a prescription drugs and if you’re pregnant or nursing.
