The adrenal glands carry on the production of this hormone when the ovaries are missing.
A recipe to deal with menopausal symptoms should also include herbs that have estrogen-like properties. Wild yam root, black cohosh root, and licorice root are examples of this. We are not trying to replace the missing estrogen. We are teaching the body to replace the missing hormones; we are teaching the body to make it’s own substitute.
This recipe uses the roots of the herbs. Purchase all of the herbal roots in powdered form so you can use them in the capsules. Mix together 1 tablespoon each of black cohosh, wild yam root, chamomile, licorice root, motherwort, skullcap, and valerian.
Mix together in food processor and place in capsules. Take 2 capsules three times daily until symptoms abate. Then take 2 capsules daily.
The following list of the herbs explains why they were used in this recipe.
Valerian is again used because it is a great sedative and helps to calm the whole system.
Black cohosh contains estrogen-like properties and is a muscle relaxant. It soothes nerves and general restlessness.
Chamomile is used because it acts as a sedative and does have properties that will ease cramps and other gastrointestinal disorders.
Motherwort strengthens the nerve system and is a tonic for the whole body. It helps those who are prone to headaches and helps relieve menstrual discomforts.
Wild yam is reported to contain an estrogen-like molecule (diosgenin). When this molecule enters the body, it is treated and reacted to as an estrogen molecule by the body. This is why it is necessary to take a daily dose after you have reached menopause.
Licorice root also has estrogen-like properties and is included for that reason. It also nourishes the adrenal glands.
Skullcap is included because it is a great nervine and helps with sleep disorders and headaches.
