Phytoestrogenics

Phytoestrogenic: imitates estrogen

Phytoestrogenics are used to help balance female hormones, minimizing perimenopausal and post-menopausal symptoms, such as hot flashes and vaginal dryness. These herbs offer a natural alternative to the synthetic estrogen used in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy.

Examples:

  • Foeniculum vulgare (fennel)

  • Glycyrrhiza glabra (licorice)

  • Linum usitatissimum (flax)

  • Panax ginseng (Asian ginseng)

  • Panax quinquefolium (American ginseng)

  • Medicago sativa (alfalfa)

  • Trifolium pratense (red clover)
