The Western view of menopause is not common in most other cultures and societies.
The Cherokee Indians believed that women did not enter adulthood until the age of 51. In Celtic cultures, the elder woman was seen as the seed – the part that contains all the knowledge of the parts within it. The elder’s role was to go forth and reseed the community with her wisdom. Anthropologists Margaret Mead and Judith K. Bwon studied the status of women in primitive cultures around the world. They found that women who have reached menopause are “crowned” wise women, midwives, healers, and givers of initiation. In a wide diversity of ancient cultures from North American to Middle Eastern, African to Aborigine, and European to Icelanders, postmenopausal women are valued for their Intuitive wisdom. In ancient times, these women were trained as oracles, priestesses, shamans, and healers. Menopause is an empowering spiritual and physiological change. Comprehending the reasons why menopause occurs, and the symptoms it creates, gives a greater understanding into this changing time of the female body and offers regaining of Holistic Self Power.

Chasteberry (Vitex): A Herbal Approach to Hormonal Imbalance in Women's Health - Chasteberry's Role in Hormonal Regulation (PMS, Fertility, Irregular Menstrual Cycles, Menopause) ~ Chasteberry's ability to modulate and balance estrogen and progesterone levels is attributed to its effects on the pituitary gland. Research suggests that vitex's constituents exert agonistic effects on the anterior pituitary's dopamine-2 receptors. This leads to a reduction in the release of prolactin and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and a rise in luteinizing hormone (LH). The result is an enhancement of corpus luteum development and a balancing shift in estrogen and progesterone levels (favoring the latter) to correct luteal phase defects and progesterone deficiency (31).

"Wild yam is a plant. It contains a plant compound called diosgenin. This plant chemical can be made in the laboratory into various steroids, such as estrogen and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA). The root and the bulb of the plant are used as a source of diosgenin, which is prepared as an “extract,” a liquid that contains concentrated diosgenin." *
