Remifemin Benefits And Black Cohosh

By Kenta Wallman


Girls might be familiar with the drug called Remifemin. It is a purely natural supplement consisting of Black Cohosh extracts and Rhizome. The main area of its expertise is in the treatment of menopausal symptoms in girls. It is said to have the backing of clinical tests and researches conducted by several laboratories which state that the drug was useful and had no proven side effects in girls. It was said to regulate and control the rate of menopause in girls and also putting a stop to disorders pertaining to it like hot flashes, night sweats, occasional sleeplessness, irritation and mood swings.

There are doubts regarding the use of black Cohosh as the herb is a choice of debate among medics and researchers worldwide. However the standardized black Cohosh extract in Remifemin is:

* Backed by nearly 50 years of clinical studies. * Proven to be effective, safe, and well tolerated. * Rated number one in recommended non-prescription menopausal therapies by obstetricians and gynecologists. * Clinically proven to reduce hot flashes, night sweats, related occasional sleeplessness, irritability, and mood swings associated with menopause.

So how exactly does Remifemin work in order to solve the symptoms of menopause? Before going deeper, let us just get a brief idea of Menopause. It is that stage of a woman's life when her ovaries stop producing eggs and her body generates less oestrogen and progesterone. The consequences are mainly less frequently occurring menstrual cycles and eventually declining altogether. A major activity of oestrogen is that it suppresses a luteinizing hormone (LH). With decrease in oestrogen levels due to menopause, the level of LH goes high thereby resulting in several disorders like hot flashes and night sweats to name a few.

Hot flashes or Hot Flushes as they are also known to cause a sudden heat sensation in female's body followed by facial flushing and miserable sweating even when the temperature is cool. When these hot flashes occur at night they are referred to as Night Sweats. The condition often results in sleeplessness, irritation and mood swings. The intensity of these symptoms was different for different women. For some women it was fairly OK but for some it was severe. However there is nothing to worry about regarding these variations.

However before Remifemin came into the market the main treatment for Menopause symptoms was Hormone Replacement Therapy but it was expensive and is not suitable for all women who a hereditary heart problem or a family history of heart disease or, blood clots and breast cancer. So Remifemin is the most effective and the simplest way to solve this problem.

However several studies carried out globally has given rise to questions of safety regarding the usage of the drug. Possible Remifemin Side Effects have been said to be identified. These include heart and deadly liver diseases and the symptoms shown were mainly signs of jaundice, over fatigue, darker color of urine and confusion. This was a blow to earlier tests which concluded that the active ingredient in Remifemin i.e. Black Cohosh was safe for prolonged use. However these tests have no proven records to show that the drug is harmful.

So it is always a wise decision for females to talk to their Doctor before going in for prolonged use of the drug, and keep in mind that you should strictly follow what your doctor instructed you to do.
