Are you suffering from menopausal hot flushes? Nature's here to help you!
Nature is here to help you with those annoying hot flushes of menopause. Red clover and sage are two of the herbs with substances that will provide relief to those of us who suffer from hot flushes.
Menopausal symptoms include a "hot" body, increased sweating and flushing, increased heartbeat, sleep disturbances and mood swings. Such symptoms may be alleviated by taking estrogen and gestagen or in a natural way by ingesting, e.g., plant steroids - substances that resemble cholesterol but for some may have estrogen-like effects.
One of the herbs that have a high content of plant steroids is red clover. Natur-Drogeriet Rødkløver kapsler use the entire red clover plant - to make sure that all plant substances are included. We have added an extract to ensure that the isoflavone content is stable and thus better able to help menopausal women. You may also choose red clover powder - or use cut red clover to make tea.
Another herb with plant steroids is sage which has a strong, spicy taste. It is available as Salvie kapsler. Sage contributes to the reduction of menopausal symptoms and may be used as a spice or to make a cooling tea. Sage is non-sticky and has no smell; its cooling effect will last - externally and internally - for more than three hours. TIP: put cold sage tea in a spray and keep it in your handbag for immediate relief of hot flushes. You may also choose sage powder - or use cut sage to make tea.
Both red clover and sage capsules are part of our Phyto Series that covers well-known herbs as powder or as an extract or a combination of both. Each Phyto Series product contains only one herb - no blended products with several herbs or nutrients.
We have other products for menopausal women. One is Dong Queen kapsler - a unique blend of angelica, red clover, lupulin, sage and Vitamin B6. B6-vitamin helps to regulate hormone activity - and is also available as single-content tablets.
Another product is Agnus Castus dråber that contribute to the stabilisation of the hormonal balance in very young and menopausal women. The extract is made from the berries of agnus castus, a plant native to the Mediterranean countries. The best way to use Agnus Castus is to take 40 drops in a bit of water in the morning when you wake up and before you eat anything. You can use the drops during the day if you are troubled by symptoms such as hot flushes.
In addition to using Natur-Drogeriet products, you may take some precautions during menopause to control hot flushes, e.g., drink less coffee and alcohol and limit your intake of very spicy food. Such beverages and food may provoke hot flushes.
