Menopausal relief

Q. I have started taking MenoHerb recently. I am not sure how long I need to take it for. As it contains black cohosh, which I understand can cause liver damage, I am concerned about long-term use. What do you think?

A. When it comes to taking nourishing herbs long term, such as the MenoHerb combination, I recommend that people use them for a minimum of three months to effect positive change, and then take regular breaks from that point forward. This is my personal opinion on what works for me, and also what I have found to be effective for my clients over the years.

How herbal preparations act in the body tends to vary slightly between individuals, so it helps to have a certain awareness of any changes occurring before, during, and after making dietary changes, so that you are able to make adjustments.
