Being able to discuss health questions for women is not an easy task for many.
It can be embarrassing at times and many women tend to turn online or to friends for some simple remedies.

Research has been done on a number of herbs that have medicinal qualities pertaining specifically to women’s issues.
The Black Cohosh belongs to the Buttercup family. It can be had as a nutritional supplement in the form of tablets, infusion tea, and liquid extracts.
It helps menopausal women deal with hot flushes, vaginal dryness, heart palpitations, and migraines and keep the symptoms in check.

leaf infusion, dried root decoction, a powdered extract, and even a root tincture. It acts as a preventive to breast cancer and works as a diuretic, bringing down water retention. This helps relieve the stress of painful pre-menstrual cramps and discomfort during pregnancy.

Chewing on raspberry leaves helps prevent spotting during pregnancy. For women approaching menopause, it helps tone the uterus, bringing down the chances of hot flushes and excessive bleeding.
