The most popular phytoestrogenic herbs for the treatment of menopause symptoms are those that have both high levels of phytoestrogens, as well as other nutritious compounds (like vitamins, minerals and amino acids) that help the body to convert and use these plant hormones. Keep reading to learn more about the most effective types of phytoestrogenic herbs. |
Long used as a remedy for arthritis pain, today black cohosh is probably the most popular phytoestrogenic herb used to treat the symptoms of menopause, especially hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness. Black cohosh's medicinal properties are found in its stems and roots, which can be administered fresh or dried as an infusion, pill, or tincture. 
Dong quai (Angelica sinensis) is native to China, Korean and Japan, where it has been used in traditional medicine for thousands of years. Cultivated in the mountains, the root of this flowering plant is the source of its medicinal properties. In Chinese medicine, dong quai is extremely popular for the treatment of women's health conditions.
Native to China, Ginkgo biloba (Ginkgo biloba) is one of the oldest tree species in the world. Gingko seeds have been employed for thousands of years in traditional Chinese medicine to treat a wide variety of health conditions. The Gingko leaf and seeds from the Ginkgo fruit are used to prepare pills, teas, or occasionally skin care products.
The ginseng root contains chemicals called ginsenosides, |

which are believed to be the source of the herb's medicinal properties. The dried ginseng root is used to make pills, teas, extracts, creams, or other preparations. Ginseng is most often used to increase energy, relieve anxiety, boost the immune system, and treat menopause symptoms.
Red clover contains higher levels of phytoestrogens than almost any other phytoestrogenic herb, and thus has become increasingly popular for the treatment of common menopause symptoms. Traditionally, however, red clover has been administered to treat respiratory ailments, including asthma, bronchitis, and whooping cough, as well as skin problems such as psoriasis and eczema, digestive problems, and for detoxification.

Treating Hormonal Imbalance with MacaActive |
|
Hormones such as estrogen, progesterone and testosterone play an essential role in several areas of the body, and as hormonal levels decline with age, the health implications can be significant. As women begin to notice the symptoms of hormone deficiency, they may want to consider taking steps to stabilize their hormonal production.
Today, there are three effective ways to normalize hormonal levels: lifestyle changes, alternative medicine and drugs & surgery.
|
|
 |
Lifestyle Changes: Lifestyle changes (such as an improved diet and increased exercise) are vital for overall health and for alleviating the symptoms of hormonal balance, but lifestyle changes alone will not have a significant impact on hormonal production. Most women will want to consider the next level of treatment, alternative medicine, which has proven to be excellent for treating hormonal imbalance in a safe and natural way.
|

 |
Alternative medicine: There are two types of herbal supplements for improving low hormone levels: those containing phytoestrogenic herbs, and those containing non-estrogenic herbs. Phytoestrogenic herbs (like Black Cohosh) are filled with phytoestrogens, which are similar to estrogens. They can increase low estrogen levels by replacing some of the missing estrogen hormones. This isn't the best solution, however, because your body will become less responsive to producing estrogen on its own, causing a further decrease in body-own hormone levels. Unlike phytoestrogenic herbs, non-estrogenic herbs don't contain estrogen, but nourish the hormonal glands to work more efficiently. This ultimately results in balancing not only estrogen, but other necessary hormones, as well. Using non-estrogenic herbs is one of the safest and best ways to treat hormonal imbalance naturally.
An excellent example of a safe and effective non-estrogenic herb for hormonal deficiency is herbal MacaActive. What makes MacaActive so special is its ability to balance hormonal levels in women by nourishing the hormonal glands. In this way, it alleviates most disorders related to hormonal imbalance.  to read more about MacaActive.

Drugs and Surgery: This level of treatment has the highest risk and often the highest cost. The most common drug therapy for treating hot flashes in the US is hormone replacement therapy (HRT). There's no doubt that this is the quickest and strongest way to combat hormonal imbalance. Unfortunately, it entails serious side effects and increases the risk of different types of cancer in women. If you still want to consider this approach, see your doctor to learn more about what this treatment option involves.
