What herbs for menopause that can help a woman go through this normal
aging process smoothly?
Menopause
happens when ovary function starts to decline. Thus, female hormones such as
estrogen and progesterone slowly reduce, causing cholesterol level to raise and
increase the risk of:
• High blood
pressure
• Heart disease
• Stroke
• Osteoporosis
• Degenerative
Arthritis
They also tend
to suffer from insomnia, restless, vaginal inflammation, dry skin and other
menopause syndromes. According to statistic, bone density will decrease by 2%
to 3% in the first 2 to 3 years of menopause. After 10 years, it will decrease
by 15% to 50%, causing serious osteoporosis.
However, some supplement and herbs for menopause can help to improve
body condition and reduce diseases associated with menopause.
The first herb is Ganoderma Lucidum. This medicinal fungus contains Triterpenes
that clears blood vessels from unwanted cholesterol and fats deposits.
Ganoderma’s Adenosine Monophosphate (AMP) improves blood circulation and
removes blood clot.
As herbs for menopause, Ganoderma Lucidum can reduce the risk of getting
cardiovascular diseases such as high blood pressure, heart disease and stroke.
The second herb is Cordyceps Sinensis. In Traditional Chinese Medicine
(TCM), Cordyceps can increase kidney and lung energy. According to TCM, kidney
supports the function of bone. Therefore, Cordyceps Sinensis can prevent and
improve bone problems such as arthritis and osteoporosis. It also improves body
condition due to aging process.
Besides these herbs for menopause, some natural supplements can effectively
help to regulate hormone imbalance caused by menopause. Conventional treatment
uses female Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) to improve menopausal syndromes.
However, the Journal of American Medical Association reported that
consumption of female hormones increase the chance of suffering from breast
cancer, heart attack and stroke. The risk of getting cervical cancer for woman
who takes hormone pills for 1 to 5 years is 5 times higher compared to those
who do not take it. After taking the pills for 7 years, the risk is 18 times
higher.
So what are the alternatives? Nature provides us the answers…
Bee’s Royal Jelly is known to contain the highest amount of natural
hormones. Royal Jelly helps to improve menopause syndrome and improve vaginal
dampness. Constant consumption can enhance body rejuvenation, enhance immune
system and keeps your skin glittering smooth.
However, the most important supplement for menopause is Soy Isoflavones.
Isoflavones extracted from soy bean is a type of phytoestrogen with
similar functions as female hormones. Therefore, Soy Isoflavones replenish
woman’s hormone to naturally improve menopause syndrome and reduce diseases
associated with menopause.
Soy Isoflavones has a more selective function. It will only function on
the bones and internal surface of blood vessels. It will not function on breast
and uterus. Therefore, it will not cause breast and uterus cancer.
Soy Isoflavones can even suppress excess estrogen what you absorb and
reduce the risk of breast and uterus cancer.
The American Heart Association Bulletin, May 2000, reported that soy
Bean’s Isoflavones is a better choice of hormone therapy compared
to medicines. Daily consumption of 92 mg isoflavone for 6 months will increase
backbone density by 2.2%.
American Clinical Gynecology magazine reported that daily intake of 60
mg Isoflavones will reduce 60% of menopause syndromes and 13% low density fatty
protein.
Other researches showed that isoflavones have strong anti-tumor,
anti-cancer and anti-oxidant properties.
With herbs for menopause such as Ganoderma Lucidum and Cordyceps
Sinensis combined with natural supplement like Royal Jelly and Soy Isoflavones,
many menopause woman can lead a healthy and normal life.
Together with sufficient exercise and healthy emotions, menopause is no
longer a disturbing aging problem.
