An herb native to China, Dong Quai is a common herbal menopause treatment. It is thought that its high estrogen level is responsible in reducing the intensity and the frequency of menopause related symptoms particularly hot flashes and vaginal dryness.

Besides that, Dong Quai is also rich in Vitamins A, E and B12.
It is also considered as a sedative which reduces mood swings. It is recommended to take Dong Quai in capsule form. 400mg to 600g of Dong Quai capsule can be taken daily. It can be taken in tea form as well by leaving its root in warm water for at least 15 minutes. Dong Quai is believed to be more effective when the person is also taking Black Cohosh herbal remedy.

We Recommend Mountain Rose Herbs For Superb Quality

 

An herb that grows primarily in Europe and in Asia, Red Clover is a good source of phytoestrogens – plant estrogens which are just like the female sex hormones. Because it increases the body’s estrogen levels, it helps reduce menopause related symptoms such as hot flashes and mood swings. A recent study in the Netherlands in fact said that women who took Red Clover regularly for at least eight weeks reported a 44% decrease in menopausal symptoms.

Aside from that, Red Clover also has other health benefits as it contains plenty of vitamins and minerals including Vitamin C, calcium, magnesium, niacin and potassium. Red Clover is usually taken in capsule form. The recommended dosage is 400mg to 500 mg every day.  

Herbal Menopause Treatment - Maca Root
Used for many centuries in South America, Maca Root is known to be an excellent herbal remedy for menopause. It is good in reducing the intensity and frequency of menopause related symptoms particularly hot flashes and vaginal dryness. The reason for this is that the root encourages an increase in estrogen and in the long run also helps balance it with progesterone. It also stimulates the production of hormones.

Because it is considered as a natural aphrodisiac and has been used for its sexual benefits, many turn to Maca Root to restore sex drive that is lost during menopause. Besides these, the root is also rich in calcium, zinc, magnesium, iron and Vitamins B1, B2, B12, C and E. It is advised to take it in capsule form. The recommended daily dose is 900mg and preferably should be taken with meals. Its roots however can be boiled to make a tea.
