Black Cohosh helps ripen the cervix and helps the uterus coordinate contractions. It is one of the best choices for relief because it acts in the body as estrogen. It is considered a phytoestrogen, or, in other words, plant estrogen. It has the ability to act as an estrogen receptor, and also has properties that act as a mild anti-depressant.
A black cohosh blend contains added herbs, such as Mother Wort, Sage, Red Clover, Nettle, Oatstraw, and Milky Oat Tops. This blend works the same as the Black Cohosh, but also many of the herbs are very high in Calcium, which is excellent for bone health and fighting osteoporosis, porous bones, that can fracture and cause pain during menopause.
They have also combined Black Cohosh with another phytoestrogen called Vitex. This is an excellent natural herb combination for those going through menopause, but are still having a cycle. It is extremely helpful in fighting PMS, Pre-menstrual Syndrome. Again, because this is an all natural herb for menopause, it can take up to twelve weeks to work, but some woman have found relief as fast as four weeks.
Black Haw Bark is another natural herb used for women going through menopause but is still having a cycle. Its properties act as an antispasmodic and relaxant for the uterus. It helps with cramping while, at the same time, giving the body a calming effect to help with the anxiety, and panic experienced through menopause.
Cramp Bark, the cousin to Black Haw Bark contains the same properties as the Black Haw Bark, with the added benefit of relieving spotting or heavy bleeding that some women experience with menopause.
Dong Quia is one of the best herbal uterine tonic and hormonal regulator. It has a warming effect when taken and is very good for menopausal complaints. It should not be taken if you have a bleeding disorder or those who are taking a blood thinning medication. It should not be taken during the menstrual cycle as it can cause thick clotting of the blood.
