*[[Valerian]] : Insomnia is common in women experiencing menopause. In an article published by Reuters in August 2011, a study was conducted for 100 women at their menopausal stage. For a month, some of these women took 2 capsules of Valerian. Women who took the capsules reported that their quality of sleep has improved. No other adverse effects were reported, which shows that valerian may be one of the most effective herb in relieving sleeplessness in menopausal women.
* [[Evening Primrose]] : During and after menopause, women often experience dry skin, eczema, hair loss, painful breasts and slower healing caused by lower estrogen levels. Evening primrose oil can ease these symptoms, making a new stage of life more manageable.
* [[Epimedium]] : A study tested the estrogenic activity of 32 herbs used for menopause. Epimedium brevicornum, was one of the highest estrogenic activity.
