Herbalism and the menopause
Keyword(s):
Herbal medicinal products are often sold as a safe and effective alternative to HRT. Sizeable sets of trial data exist for black cohosh and soy. For other herbal medicines, only isolated trials have emerged, and their number is too low to enable one to arrive at valid conclusions. Collectively the data for black cohosh do not prove efficacy. The evidence for soy is encouraging but not compelling. Neither black cohosh nor soy is associated with major safety problems. Further research is warranted to closer define the role of herbal medicines for the menopause.
