Menopause causes dramatic hormonal changes that can disrupt daily life. According to the Menopause Foundation of Canada, 95% of menopausal women experience symptoms of varying severity, and these include hot flashes, night sweats, urinary tract infections, and heart palpitations. Additionally, menopause can increase the risk of osteoporosis, heart disease, and other health issues if not managed properly.
While menopausal women are encouraged to speak to their physician for chronic health conditions associated with the onset of menopause, Medipattern says that many lesser symptoms can be managed with peppermint. Often used as a culinary herb or in essential oils, peppermint is known to soothe digestive issues such as irritable bowel syndrome, bloating, and indigestion. The plant is also rich in menthol, a compound that can relieve respiratory symptoms caused by the common cold or allergies; this compound is also known to play a role in reducing anxiety and improving energy levels.
Moreover, studies on animal subjects have suggested that peppermint contains bioactive phytoestrogens that may influence hormonal health. These compounds can mimic estrogen in the body, which can compensate for reduced estrogen production during menopause. While more research is needed in this area to determine whether peppermint can affect hormone levels in humans, separate studies have found that essential oils made from the herb can reduce various physical and psychological symptoms associated with menopause when used in aromatherapy.
Medipattern's guide says that readers who want to incorporate peppermint into their daily routine can add fresh leaves to salads, soups, and hot or cold teas; the oils and extracts can be added to beverages, desserts, and baked goods. Although the herb is generally safe, Medipattern's guide advises readers with GERD or a hiatal hernia to avoid it, as it may exacerbate their symptoms. Peppermint may also interact with antacids, blood pressure medications, and cyclosporine, and individuals on these drugs are encouraged to consult their doctor before using it.
