Gentle medicine for women: whether menstrual pain, hot flashes during the menopause or a bladder infection - herbal remedies can provide good relief for mild complaints

 Mood swings, breast tenderness, bleeding between periods , cramping abdominal pain. Every third woman complains about menstrual problems.

It is then particularly important to track down the cause of the complaints. 

Help against menstrual cramps

There is no herbal miracle cure for problem-free menstruation. Traditional folk medicine recommends the pale yellow blooming lady 's mantle as a tea infusion.

Herbal hormone control with monk's pepper

It looks different with monk's pepper . In the Middle Ages the shrub was also known as chaste mud. Rumor has it that he can curb the desire for sex . This is what made the herb so popular with celibate monks.

What scholars already suspected at the time has now been scientifically proven: "Monk's pepper can intervene in the hormonal regulatory mechanism. 

Depending on the dose, the ingredients of the plant change the production of prolactin and estrogen . The natural remedy is therefore not only used for menstrual problems, but also when there is a desire to have children, but the woman's cycle is very irregular.

Clarify the causes

However, phytopharmaceuticals take time to show their effects. The dose also has an impact. However, if there is no positive change in the long term, the cause must be clarified again. In general, you should always consult a gynecologist in the event of sudden or severe symptoms.

"Diseases such as endometriosis can also hide behind severe menstrual pain," and  "It must be treated early and appropriately, otherwise it can lead to infertility."

 Nasturtium has an antibacterial effect

Nasturtiums as an aid to cystitis

Because of their shorter urethra, women are more prone to irritation and infections of the urinary tract than men. Bacteria rise faster into the bladder and attach to the mucosal wall . Abdominal pain, a burning sensation when urinating and the frequent need to urinate are the classic symptoms. The pharmacist recommends preparations with extracts from nasturtium and horseradish root; however, they do not relieve the pain .

Beneficial mustard oils

These medicines contain mustard oils, which react with certain enzymes in bacteria and fungi and thus disrupt the metabolism of the microorganisms. The combination with horseradish increases the antibacterial effect.

The advantage over antibiotics: The extracts are better tolerated because they do not attack the intestinal flora - and therefore do not weaken the immune system . This also lowers the relapse rate.

However, if the symptoms do not recede clearly after several days, there is no getting around the doctor's office. Pregnancy gets tricky. "During this time, bladder infections increase the risk of miscarriages or premature births.

The doctor also advises against taking herbal products preventively.

Black cohosh during menopause

When progesterone and estrogen levels change during the menopause, many women feel it in hot flashes, sweats, mood swings or sleep problems.

 If menopause is the cause, Hundert mark usually recommends an extract from black cohosh. "But we advise you to pause the intake after ten months, as the active ingredients put a strain on the liver ."

The plant resembles a candle with its long, silvery flower stalks. The natives of North America already used them to facilitate childbirth. 

Alternative from Siberia

The gynecologist points out an alternative: "In the past ten years, the focus has shifted to the Siberian rhubarb. There is now also good evidence of this." A study by the University of Dresden, for example, shows that the substance rhaponticin obtained from the roots influences the part of the estrogen receptors that has an effect on heat regulation, bone metabolism and the vaginal mucosa.

Gynecologist Albring mentions another well-tried medicinal herb: " Sage can also relieve hot flashes." The ingredients are found in deodorants for a reason.
