Why These Herbs:

Early German studies found black cohosh improved physical and psychological menopausal symptoms, including anxiety, hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness.

Dong quai contains phytoestrogens, which are plant-based compounds that can mimic the effects of estrogen in the body to some extent. This estrogenic activity may help regulate hormonal imbalances in females

Chaste tree has been used to treat menstrual cycle problems and pain, premenstrual syndrome, and menopause. Chaste tree berries may help stimulate progesterone. It may help normalize estrogen and progesterone.

Researchers think that isoflavones, like those found in red clover, might help reduce symptoms of menopause, such as hot flashes and night sweats, because of their estrogen-like effects.

Ashwagandha's adaptogenic properties seem to help balance hormone levels during menopause.
