reports a review of 62 studies which examined the effects of some plant-based therapies on menopause symptoms showed that using “phytoestrogens was associated with fewer hot flashes during the day and with less vaginal dryness, but did not influence night sweats.” Using black cohosh was linked to “a lessening of overall menopause symptoms score,” but not to a specific symptom. Chinese medicinal herbs, meanwhile, “were not associated with a decrease in menopause symptoms.” The results of the review were published in JAMA. http://time.com/4375286/natural-remedies-menopause/
