Amenorrhea

Natural Products for Amenorrhea / Absence of Menstruation

 

Possible Symptoms of Amenorrhea
Symptoms of amenorrhea include absence of periods, increased facial hair, deeper voice, decreased armpit hair, pubic hair and breast size and secretions from the breast.

 

Amenorrhea occurs when there is not enough hormones in a woman’s body to stimulate menstruation. This condition is associated with malnutrition, as with anorexia nervosa, or when excessive exercise puts extreme nutritional demands on the body. Stress, rapid weight loss and a low concentration of body fat can also have a negative effect on normal menstruation. Amenorrhea can also be a sign of serious disorders of the ovaries, pituitary gland or hypothalamus.

Beneficial Dietary Supplements
Progesterone has been shown to induce normal menstrual bleeding in women with secondary amenorrhea.

 

Vitex Fruit (Chaste Tree Berry) Several studies are reporting that agnus castus fruit, also known as chaste tree berry (Vitex), helps alleviate symptoms of PMS. The compounds in this substance have effects that are similar to female hormones. One study reported that homeopathic preparations containing agnus castus helped women with irregular periods, but at this time Chaste tree berry should not be used by women who wish to conceive or who are sexually active and not using a reliable form of birth control.
 

Acetyl-L-Carnitine is an amino acid that can improve hormone levels in women with low initial levels.

Black Cohosh Root (Remidfemin) has been used for amenorrhea and symptoms of menopause. To date, the product appears to have few side effects, but some women report headaches.


Blue Cohosh stimulates menstrual flow.

Calcium and  Vitamin D prevent bone loss.

Dong Quai:  Dong Quai, one of the most important of the Chinese tonic herbs, is used as a nourishing blood tonic and to regulate the menstrual cycle. Dong Quai has been used for centuries by Asian healers to balance female hormones and to prevent the troublesome symptoms of menopause and PMS. Clinical research has indicated that Dong Quai also contains antispasmodic compounds that aid in relaxing muscle tissue, explaining its effectiveness in treating menstrual cramps.

What is the advantage of Dong Quai?

The risks and long term effects of HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) are well known, while studies on soy-based products show conflicting and unsubstantiated results. Research has show that Dong Quai is extremely effective in providing long term relief from symptoms of Menopause when taken regularly for between 8 and 12 weeks, and its effects are most noticeable at the end of the treatment period.
