Menopause Herbal Combination

 

What is a menopause herbal combination? The name tells it all. Menopause herbal combination is a number of helpful herbs mixed together to provide relief. Because it is contained in just one capsule, it spares you the trouble of going through an assortment of herbs and products. Menopause herbal combination is a convenient way of curing the symptoms that usually beset every woman undergoing the menopausal stage.

 

The Herbs

 

A menopause herbal combination may be comprised of several different herbs. However, certain herbs are standard in almost every formula available. These herbs, sometimes referred to as “female herbs”, are the following:

 

* Black Cohosh

Known for its therapeutic benefits, the black cohosh, or Cimicifuga racemosa, is a small herb that was used by Native Americans for a variety of female problems. Recent clinical studies of this plant led to the discovery of some active components present that classifies it as a phytoestrogen. These ingredients include acetin, cimicifugioside, acetylacteal, 27-deoxyactin, cimigenol, and deoxyacetylateal. Although it is not known exactly how it works, but various studies have shown that these components act on the hormonal system. Because of these properties, the black cohosh is a common ingredient in most menopause herbal combinations.

 

* Chaste Berry

The chaste berry tree is a large shrub native to the Mediterranean and Southern Europe. The chaste berry is so called because of its perceived ability to suppress sexuality. The Greeks and Romans used it to encourage chastity while the medieval monks added it to their food to reduce sexual desire. Today, the chaste berry is used almost exclusively for disorders of the female reproductive system. It is the herbal remedy recommended by naturopathic physicians to treat premenstrual syndrome and peri- or postmenopausal symptoms, such as hot flashes. For this reason, chaste berry is a standard herb included in a menopause herbal combination.
