are associated with various other common signs of menopause such as headaches, sleeplessness and mood swings. In , the extracts of both black cohosh and chaste tree berry work to normalize hormone production through the pituitary gland.* Black cohosh appears to address a wide range of menopausal symptoms, in part by selectively and significantly reducing levels of luteinizing hormone (released from the pituitary gland), which often blackcohoshherbs results in suppression of hot flashes.* Chaste tree berry is known to work on lowering prolactin levels,(prolactin is a hormone of the anterior pituitary gland found in the serum of both normal females and males) which in turn increases the production of progesterone.* Low progesterone production is known to be responsible for many PMS symptoms and menstrual irregularity.* Scientists blackcohoshherbs and blackcohoshherbs believe that the triterpene glycosides and flavonoids in black cohosh appear to work together in a myriad of ways, a belief echoed in the flavonoids of the chaste tree berry.* Some studies suggest that the compounds in black cohosh bind to estrogen receptors and mimic the effect of estriol, the weakest of the three levels of estrogen, The safety and effectiveness of chaste tree berry extract has been studied since the 1950s. Now brings a delicate yet effective combination of the two extracts to American women. Menopause is experienced by all women and remedies of yore are returning to the forefront to help alleviate menopausal symptoms. We believe that menopause is a natural part of a womanıs life and should be supported in natural ways. The frequency and intensity of menopausal symptoms are widely varied from woman to woman. Hormonal changes trigger these shifts in your system and these changes occur not only blackcohoshherbs in the ovaries but also in the pituitary, thyroid, pancreas, adrenal, uterus, liver and pineal glands. Some easy ways to help with hotflashes: soak your feet, wear silk, decrease stress in your life, put ice on your cheeks, eat a snack (carrots, fruits (not citrus) seaweed, whole grains, yogurt etc.), nourish the liver with lemon juice and olive oil and papaya juice, Vitamin B complex (especially B2, B6 blackcohoshherbs and B12) and Vitamin A are helpful; sleep with loose covers and eat wild yams which are sometimes helpful. Avoid foods that may trigger blackcohoshherbs a hot flash such as spicy foods, The use in disturbances of the female genital system was first reported more than two thousand years ago. Nowadays ethanolic extracts from the fruit are used for the treatment of mastopathy, premenstrual syndrome and luteal insufficiency-complaints caused by a mild or latent hyperprolactinemia. The mode of action of Vitex agnus-castus extracts was studied in vitro using primary cultures from rat pituitaries as a test system. A dose dependent reduction of blackcohoshherbs prolactin secretion was observed. The effect could be blocked by the dopamine-receptor antagonist, haloperidol, confirming a dopamine agonistic activity of the drug. The prolactin lowering effect blackcohoshherbs of Vitex agnus-castus was also found in in vivo experiments in rats. Clinical studies in patients with premenstrual syndrome, luteal insufficiency, and mastopathy show a simultaneous decrease in the clinical syndrome score and prolactin levels. In the monograph of the Commission E, a daily dosage of 30-40mg of an ethanolic extract of the fruit of Vitex agnus-castus is recommended for the treatment of the premenstrual syndrome, luteal phase defects and other disturbances of the menstrual cycle, as well for the treatment of mastodynia .
