Yoga Horse (Goddess) Pose In Deadhorse Point State Park
Many women's herbs do not have rigorous scientific studies backing their use, however, women over the centuries have used herbal remedies safely and effectively. This tradition is the wise woman's way.
Herbs are used in women's health to regulate hormones, reduce water retention, elevate mood, and reduce pain and cramping and are used to treat menstrual problems such as PMS, heavy bleeding, skipped periods, excessive bleeding, and menopause. Pregnancy and natural childbirth are also supported by ancient herbal remedies.
Black cohosh contains numerous chemical constituents, among them isoflavones like formononetin, which mimics hormonal activity. This makes it useful for hot flashes, vaginal dryness, and even the depression sometimes associated with menopause. |
