Many women going through menopause do not require treatment, as they experience few symptoms. However, if menopausal symptoms affect quality of life, a number of natural, herb-based remedies can be considered.
This page provides you with information on how you can use herbs to treat menopausal symptoms. It is intended as a guide—if you are worried about your health or suffer severe symptoms, you should consult your doctor.
Many symptoms of menopause can also be addressed with tweaks to your diet or lifestyle. For more information, see our page on Tips for a Healthy Menopause.
Plant-based estrogens known as phytoestrogens can be found in foods like soy and the isoflavones it contains. The benefits of regular soy consumption can be traced back to women in Asian cultures who have a lower incidence of menopausal symptoms compared to women in North America. They also have lower incidence of hormone dependent cancers and cardiovacular disease associated with menopause. This is why non-GMO, fermented soy is one of the main ingredients in A.Vogel's MenoSupport Complex 40+. It helps slow the decline of hormones by gently supplementing them during the menopausal transition. This reduces the severity and frequency of associated symptoms.
The other medicinal ingredients in the complex include hibiscus and magnesium.
Hibiscus is a flower that has been used for medicinal purposes for centuries. It is most known for its benefits on the cardiovascular system, and it has been shown to be helpful in reducing the risk of heart disease and other cardiovascular problems. During menopause, the risk of heart disease increases dramatically due to the fluctuations in hormone levels. Hibiscus can help to regulate these hormones and keep the cardiovascular system healthy.
Magnesium is a mineral that is essential for human health. It is involved in a wide range of biological processes, including the regulation of hormones and blood sugar levels. Magnesium is also important for the health of the bones, and it can help to protect against osteoporosis.
With aging, magnesium levels within the cell and circulating through the body can drop significantly. This can lead to a range of problems such as mood swings, fatigue, and headaches. Magnesium supplementation can help to restore sufficient levels in the body. It is also beneficial for the cardiovascular system and can help to protect against heart disease.
MenoSupport Complex 40+
Proven natural herbal remedy formulated with soy isoflavones, magnesium, hibiscus and vervain to help you regain balance, support bone health, and manage multiple menopause symptoms effectively.
Sage, or Salvia officinalis, is well known as a kitchen or culinary herb. It is traditionally used as a stuffing for roasts, but it also has another long-standing use as a herb to help combat excessive sweating during menopause.
Sage is rich in essential oils and this is the reason it gives off a strong scent. These oils also form an important part in the plant’s medicinal function. Today, sage extracts are well known and widely used for their ability to help relieve the symptoms of menopausal sweats and hot flashes.
Find out more about using sage tablets as a treatment for hot flashes and night sweats. In addition, lifestyle adjustments can also be useful for these menopause symptoms. See our pages on hot flashes and night sweats for more information.
A.Vogel MenoForce
A.Vogel MenoForce is a natural Remedy For Hot Flashes. Clinically proven one a day solution to help significantly reduce the frequency and severity of hot flashes and night sweats.
In phytotherapy, different plants are used for their calming and sedative properties, the most popular is passion flower. Known for its calming action and to help relieve anxiety. A.Vogel carries this popular remedy in 3 formats: An oral spray for ages 12+, night time tablets with added zinc or tincture that can be added to water which is safe for children ages 4+. These will help to decrease sleep disorders related to anxiety, nervousness, or stress.
During menopause, sleep is often disturbed due to night sweats. Menopause itself, however, can also lead to sleep difficulties. If the reason you are sleeping poorly is because of night sweats, sage will be the right choice for you.
If your sleep is disturbed for other reasons, you should consider a valerian-based product. Find out more about Deep Sleep as a treatment for disturbed sleep.
A.Vogel Relax Spray
A.Vogel Passion Flower is a renown natural remedy for insomnia to treat: nervousness, restlessness, agitation and irritability.
Many people are familiar with the use of homeopathic arnica for bruising. However, when used as a herbal rub, arnica applied externally has pain relieving properties and helps aching muscles and stiff joints.
Arnica (Arnica montana or Mountain arnica) is found in hills and mountains all over Central Europe. However, such has been the popularity of the herb over the past decades that it is now a protected species in many countries.
Arnica is now cultivated in specific parts of Europe where the soil conditions are right. Find out more about using arnica as a treatment for pain relief.

Kelp, or seaweed, is a group of plants known as brown algae. Although its name is a bit dull, this group of plants has very specific and versatile properties.
Kelp contains iodine—a substance important for normal thyroid function, which, in turn, helps the body maintain a healthy weight and vitality.
Seaweed has been used as a food in many cultures and in healthcare for centuries. Apart from its use to maintain thyroid function, kelp has also been used to help maintain normal growth and lustre of hair.
