Phytoestrogenic herbs have long been popular for treating menopause symptoms, and studies have shown that these herbs are indeed effective. However, studies have also shown that these herbs are associated with potentially serious health risks and aren't indicated for all women. Keep reading to learn more about phytoestrogenic herbs for menopause.

A phytoestrogenic herb is any plant containing a type of plant hormone called phytoestrogen, whose chemical structure is nearly identical to the estrogen produced in the human body. When phytoestrogenic herbs are ingested, the body is able to convert the plant's phytoestrogens into natural human estrogen, thus raising total estrogen levels and helping to alleviate several menopause symptoms. 
Several varieties of phytoestrogenic herbs exist, but only a handful of herbs have been proven to be effective for the treatment of menopause symptoms, notably including black cohosh and red clover. Keep reading to learn more about the different types of phytoestrogenic herbs, how they act in the body, and the associated side effects.
Many women have reported relief from menopausal symptoms with the use of phytoestrogenic herbs, and some studies suggest that phytoestrogenic herbs really are effective at relieving symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness, and may even help protect against osteoporosis and heart disease. However, phytoestrogenic herbs are also associated with side effects and health risks that cannot be ignored. |

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.
