The effectiveness of hormone replacement therapy during the climacteric period has been clinically proven, but it causes too many dangerous side effects.
Tsimitsifuga for women is an alternative to the intake of synthetic hormones. Active components of this plant help to cope not only with negative symptoms of menopause, but also prevent the development of various diseases.
Properties of tsimitsifugi
For the production of medicines, rhizomes of the described plant are usually used. They are rich in the following substances:
- saponins;
- organic acids (salicylic, isoferulic, hesperidinic, methoxycinnic);
- tannin;
- chromones;
- phytosterol.
Although recent studies have shown that the root of the cymicifuge does not contain phytoestrogens, selective estrogen receptor modulators have been found in it. The mechanism of action of this remedy is to stimulate the brain regions responsible for the hormonal balance, the exchange of dopamine and serotonin, and thermoregulation. In this case, the extract of tsimitsifugi does not affect the uterus, mammary glands and does not have a toxic effect on the liver.
Thus, the plant under consideration produces the following effects:
- normalization of sleep and blood pressure;
- prevention of atrophy of the vaginal mucosa and its dryness;

- stabilization of the psychological state, combating depression;
