Home Remedies That Work

Menopause

There is help!

Black cohosh helps the majority of women to reduce the symptoms of menopause. American Indians called it "Squaw Root".

I didn't find anything that gives complete relief, but with the dangers being found with hormone replacement, black cohosh is worth a try.

A friend of ours used this for a month, and the menopause symptoms were reduced significantly. But she had a lot of headaches, so she quit using it.

Caution: Black cohosh should not be taken by women with estrogen-dependent cancer, including breast, cervical, uterine, and ovarian cancer. Women taking HRT (hormone replacement therapy) should avoid taking this herb.

I have also read that the oriental herb, Dong Quai, is very helpful.

"Dong quai is an aromatic herb that grows in China, Korea, and Japan. The reputation of Dong quai is second only to Ginseng and is considered the ultimate, all-purpose woman's tonic herb. It is used for almost every gynecological complaint from regulating the menstrual cycle to treating menopausal symptoms caused by hormonal changes."

"The root has earned a reputation as the "ultimate herb" for women. It is used to restore balance to a woman's hormones and cycles and is helpful in restoring menstrual regularity and for conditions of the reproductive system. It is not recommended during pregnancy, for women with excessive menstrual flow or for people taking blood thinning agents."
