The root extract and herbal tea might prove beneficial in treating menopausal symptoms such as irritability, hot flashes, night sweats, anxiety, depression, loss of sexual drive, weight gain, and insomnia. These symptoms are caused due to the dip in the levels of estrogen and increased luteinizing hormone (LH) secretions. Since this herb regulates the level of estrogen, it helps in easing the discomfort. It can also be used as an alternative to estrogen replacement therapy.
