Fennel may be a therapeutic option for hormone replacement therapy for the treatment of menopausal menopausal symptoms.

This is the conclusion of scientists from the University of Tehran. They conducted a study of 79 women between the ages of 45 and 60 years suffering from climacteric symptoms. The women were divided into two groups and took one capsule containing 100 mg of fennel extract or placebo twice daily for eight weeks.

Already after 2 weeks in the verum group showed a significant improvement in symptoms such as hot flashes, insomnia, vaginal dryness and fears. This improvement also persisted 8 weeks after treatment with no serious side effects. The study can be found here. (Association of German Naturopaths)
