Supplements For Menopausal Relief

There are several herbal supplements on the market which are excellent for menopausal relief. Different supplements are good for different symptoms, so it’s best if you make a list of the symptoms which you are suffering from and then look at the list to see which supplements will work best for you.

Black Cohosh

When combined with estrogen receptors, it lowers Lutenising Hormone (LH) and can help with hot flashes.  It can also be used to help with headaches, fatigue and joint pain. 

Dong Quai

It’s often used for hormonal imbalance and is an overall tonic for women’s general health.

Chaste Tree Berry

It acts on the pituitary gland to stabilize hormonal imbalances.  It can also be a treatment for PMS.  Chaste Tree Berries also contain progestins, which relieve hot flashes and vaginal dryness.

Wild Yam

Can help reduce the uptake of cholesterol in the intestines, which helps reduce cholesterol levels.  Wild Yam can also help increase sexual desire in women and it can be helpful in relieving joint pain and inflammation. 

Licorice Root

Supports adrenal function and improves energy.  Licorice Root can also help level the fluctuation of hormones.  It’s also a mild laxative and helps support digestion. 

Sage

Can assist with raising estrogen levels and can reduce hot flashes.

St. John’s Wart

Used as an herbal anti-depressant, long term use of St. John’s Wart can be extremely helpful to elevating moods. 

If you have questions regarding the above herbs, you can do some research online or speak to a health food store representative about it.  Books can also be extremely helpful.  There are many other herbs out there which might help individual symptoms.  You just need to do your research and be creative with it.  You also might check with a holistic healer or occult store for further more in depth information regarding the healing properties of many herbs.  Stores like those may also have a better book selection. 

As always, consult with your doctor about the herbs you are planning to take.  If you are taking other medications, make sure you check to see if the supplements will interact with your other vitamins, supplements or medications. 

You can also incorporate fresh herbs into your diet by putting them into whole grain pastas, rice and wheat toast.  Be creative and do what you can to treat your menopausal symptoms naturally.  If the treatments aren’t working, you may wish to seek further advice from your healthcare physician.  Sometimes hormone replacement therapy may be necessary to combat menopausal symptoms.

If you are having feelings of depression, sadness or are suffering from extreme insomnia, seek medical attention immediately.  Depression, anxiety and fatigue are symptoms of menopause that shouldn’t go ignored or untreated.  These symptoms can become severe and life threatening. 

Make sure your friends and family are aware of the symptoms you’re experiencing so they understand what’s going on with you and how they might be able to help you deal with some of the things that are going on.
