Black cohosh is traditionally used to relieve menopausal symptoms in Western herbal medicine. In Fusion Menopause, it’s combined with dong quai, vitex and other herbs.
Features and benefits
How it works
Menopause marks the end of a woman’s menstrual cycle and her reproductive years, and typically occurs between the ages of 45 and 55.
Levels of the hormones oestrogen and progesterone fluctuate during this time and periods become lighter, until eventually the ovaries stop releasing eggs and periods no longer occur.1
Common menopausal symptoms that women experience during this time may include hot flushes, difficulty sleeping, irritability and aches and pains.1
Black cohosh: traditionally used to relieve hot flushes, mood swings and more
Black cohosh relieves menopausal symptoms like hot flushes, irritability and mood swings, based on its traditional use in Western herbal medicine, where it’s also used to ease a wide variety of other menopausal symptoms, including restless sleep and mild rheumatic aches and pains.
Vitex: traditionally used to support reproductive hormone health
Together with black cohosh, vitex is utilised in traditional Western herbal medicine to support women’s reproductive hormone health during menopause.
Dong quai relieves menopausal symptoms
Dong quai is a herb traditionally used in Chinese medicine to reduce menopausal symptoms and as a blood tonic.
