Today, women, more so than men, are taking geater personal responsibility for their own, and in many cases, their partner's, health outcomes.

For example, it is clear that more women are becoming disenchanted with Hormone Replacement Therapy to relieve the symptoms of menopause There is a growing awareness also that the wretched mood swings related to menstruation can be handled effectively with natural remedies. The management of uncontrollable periodic mood swings related to hormonal changes peculiar to women no longer have to be, and no longer are, the province of synthetic drugs.

Leading the category of herbs for women is the herb of choice for menopausal symptoms which undoubtedly is Black Cohosh. Its track record leaves no doubt about its efficacy and we have found no herbal supplements for the relief of menopausal symptoms that do not include it. The benefits of Black Cohosh can be complemented with Wild Yam and Pasque Flower, and Chasteberry is another herb with a reputation for maintaining hormone balance during menopause. Mood swings, and feelings of depression and anxiety are problem areas where Ginkgo Biloba, Kava and Pasque Flower can be helpful.

As well as lightening emotional downs Ginkgo Biloba is well known to enhance cognitive function; the Ginsengs all have a reputation for supporting sexual function and fertility, Damiana is used as an aphrodisiac as is Avena Sativa (unfortunately named Wild Oats) and Epimedium Grandiflorum (even more unfortunately carrying the common name of Horny Goat Weed)
