As an adjunct: Not all women experience severe, debilitating menopausal symptoms. Herbs used by women, like maca, P. mirifica, black cohosh, + vitex are phytohormones which are adaptogenic, meaning, they act as natural SERMS, helping the body adapt to its current hormone levels. If the patient does not want hormones, these may be enough to quell mild symptoms. BI hormone is the preferred rx for replacement.
