It?s no secret that men and women are genetically and biologically different. It should also come as no surprise that although they may suffer from some similar health issues, there are also a host of issues that are very unique to each gender.
Many health risks that face men and women can be prevented or their effects controlled. In this section you will find products to treat health issues specific to women or men (like menopausal remedies or prostate aids) as well as products for weight-management and stress.
Black cohosh was originally used by Native American peoples in the treatment of many conditions, especially women?s health problems.
RESEARCH:
The efficacy of black cohosh is supported by considerable scientific research. Clinical trials have shown black cohosh to be as effective as estrogen therapy in reducing the severity and frequency of menopausal hot flashes. It has also been shown to benefit vaginal dryness and mood changes. A recent study indicated that the herb may have positive effects on bone density. Clinical studies confirm that the use of black cohosh can significantly relieve hormone-related depression, and relieve the incidence/degree of vaginal atrophy (the reduction of vaginal tissue that can give rise to considerable discomfort during intercourse).
SIDE EFFECTS:
Higher doses may cause mild stomach upset and headache.
INTERACTIONS AND SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS:
Consult a health care practitioner if menopausal or premenstrual symptoms persist. Do not use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or have a hormone-sensitive condition. Do not use if you have breast, uterine or ovarian cancer.
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:
Do not exceed recommended dose except on the advice of a health care practitioner.
