The menopause and then post-menopause mark important turning points in a women’s life. Knowing that there are herbs to turn to at these stages is invaluable.
For the menopause with hot flushes, poor sleep, anxiety, night sweats, etc. the list can be small or very long! But there are answers and helpful advice, for over 40 years I have used more or less the same herbs to great effect.
They are: Agnus castus berries and black cohosh roots – both deal with the fall in various hormone levels but principally oestrogen. Neither of these plants contains hormones which makes them safe choices. Rather they influence hormone regulation and instead balance very effectively. I also add in liver support with milk thistle seeds as this organ easily becomes overwhelmed impacting mood, sleep and more. Heart protection is also of paramount importance and hawthorn makes the best of supporters. Finally, sage leaf is helpful for undue sweating.
Once the actual menopause phase has been navigated and periods have stopped for a year, then the post-menopause time begins. This means lifelong attention needs to be paid to heart health (oestrogen keeps blood thinner, thickened blood causes clogging and heart event dangers) Also to bone density levels and many other aspects of ligament and joint deterioration.
Our go-to formula for the start of all these menopause issues is called Vitex & Black Cohosh Formula, just call and have a chat. Herbal Product Advice Line: (+44) 01379 608201
