Natural Menopause Relief Using Herbs And Herbal Remedies

Red clover is a rich source of phytoestrogens. It prevents tumor formation and relieves muscle spasms. It calms the nerves, reduces high blood pressure, and relieves palpitations. In my opinion, red clover is one of the best herbs for women’s health. It is very effective, especially for promoting sleep. Red clover should be consumed as a tea. It is delicious.

Flax seed is another source of phytoestrogens. It also offers cardio protective benefits and relieves constipation which many women suffer from.

Vitex agnus castus, also known as chaste berry, is helpful to many women during menopause. If used consistently for six to eight weeks, it can restore hormonal balance. You must take two hundred milligrams of vitex twice daily to be effective. If you purchase a commercial product, be sure to read the label as lower amounts are ineffective.

Vaginal dryness can make sexual intercourse uncomfortable during and after menopause. Topically apply aloe vera gel as a natural lubricant. Wild yam may be applied topically or taken internally to relieve dryness effectively.

Nettle is an herb which offers benefits to people of all ages. It is especially valuable for women during menopause. Nettle is a terrific source of many vitamins and minerals which tonify the entire body. It contains calcium and magnesium which guard against post menopausal bone loss. Nettle normalizes the endocrine system. Nettle reduces fatigue and promotes wellness.

Many women complain of hair loss and other hair problems during menopause. The nutrients in nettle may make the hair prolific, soft, and healthy.

Many herbs are fabulous natural remedies for menopause and beyond. They are safe; improve vitality; and boost morale. Menopause is a transition and a journey which is greatly supported by herbal therapies.
