Can Herbal Medicine Help with Menopause Symptoms?

Menopause is a natural phase of life—but that doesn’t mean the symptoms feel natural. From hot flushes and sleep disturbances to mood swings and anxiety, menopause can impact your body and mind in profound ways. If you're searching for menopause natural remedies, you're not alone. Increasingly, women are turning to herbal treatment for menopause as a gentle, effective alternative to hormone replacement therapy (HRT).

At Paean Therapy, we support women through the menopausal transition with personalised, plant-based protocols designed to ease symptoms and support long-term hormonal balance.

Understanding Menopause Symptoms

Menopause typically occurs between ages 45–55 and is marked by the natural decline of reproductive hormones, especially eostrogen and progesterone. Common symptoms include:

  • Hot flushes and night sweats
  • Mood swings or irritability
  • Sleep disturbances
  • Fatigue and brain fog
  • Vaginal dryness
  • Low libido
  • Irregular or heavy periods during perimenopause

These symptoms vary from person to person, which is why a one-size-fits-all solution rarely works.

How Herbal Medicine Supports Menopause

Herbal medicine offers a personalised, whole-body approach to menopause that addresses both the symptoms and the underlying hormonal shifts.

Key Benefits of Herbal Treatment for Menopause:

  • Balances estrogen and progesterone naturally
  • Eases nervous system tension and anxiety
  • Improves sleep and energy
  • Reduces frequency and intensity of hot flushes
  • Enhances mood and cognitive clarity
