Menopause and Herbs: A Natural Path to Well-Being

Menopause is a natural part of every woman's life, but it can bring with it changes that sometimes require increased attention.

Menopause symptoms:

Menopause symptoms can manifest themselves on many levels – from hot flashes, to mood and sleep changes, to energy fluctuations. However, it is important to know that with proper care for your body and mind, this period can be experienced as comfortably as possible.

How to cope with menopause?

It is essential to focus on a healthy lifestyle, a balanced diet and plenty of rest. Physical activity (e.g. walking or light exercise) can reduce mood swings and maintain fitness. A group of selected plants and substances, whose effects are often associated with maintaining comfort during menopause, also provide essential support.

Menopause - herbs to support the female body

In phytotherapy, we can find a number of herbs that contribute to better adaptation of the body to hormonal changes. Herbs suitable for menopause can help maintain mental and physical well-being:

Clover, bugloss, yam, and hops provide comfort during menopause.
Angelica is an antioxidant and supports the normal functioning of the female urogenital system.
Sage for women's health and (pre)menstrual comfort.
Ashwagandha supports mental health and relaxation.
Rhodiola is an adaptogen, helping the nervous system and emotional well-being.
Hops have a calming effect and support the normal function of the nervous system.
Ginkgo (jinan) promotes mental balance.
Saffron contributes to mental health and a positive mood.
Passionflower is recommended for emotional comfort.

In addition to herbs, your overall lifestyle also plays an irreplaceable role - quality sleep, reducing stress, and a balanced intake of important vitamins and minerals. This can prevent many difficulties and provide relief during more challenging periods.

Menopause doesn't have to be scary if we approach it holistically and with respect for our own bodies. The right combination of lifestyle changes, supportive supplements, and natural mental well-being care can help you cope with the symptoms of menopause .
