Many women, especially in Europe, take Black Cohosh or St. John’s Wort or both in helping them deal with the unpleasant symptoms of menopause they are experiencing. However, the side effects of these products may be worse than the menopausal symptoms they are being used to treat!
For instance, St. John’s Wort can interact with many medications that might be prescribed for other conditions. It is important to consult your doctor or pharmacist to determine if there are any contraindications (a contraindication is a specific situation in which a drug, procedure, or surgery should NOT be used, because it may be harmful to the patient).
St. John’s Wort (Hypericum perforatum), although found useful for depression in many people, can cause eye damage. Visible light, both outdoor and bright indoor, combines with a compound in the St. John’s Wort and creates dangerous free radicals which can harm the lens and retina. Use of sunglasses does not provide adequate protection.
Black Cohosh has been known to elevate liver enzymes, therefore frequent monitoring by blood test is necessary to determine if the liver enzymes have risen to unsafe levels.
Many women are using creams with all natural ingredients for menopause symptom relief. One such outstanding product can be found at www.ihd.myarbonne.com.
