xvegangirlx Posted May 7, 2009 I was wondering if there are any herbs that affect the age of onset of menopause for a woman. I have read that he shou wu lengthens life and strengthens the reproductive functions, but I'm not sure if that means prolonging the reproductive years. I am looking to find herbs (or any therapy) that would delay the onset of menopause, increase fertility and increase the child bearing years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phore Posted May 7, 2009 (edited) I think your best bet would be to exercise regularly, eat a healthy diet and a multivitamin (try vitamin code for women). The best exercise for reducing the effects of aging is stretching combined with chi kung/ yoga.  For specific herbs for feminine reproductive health try: Wild yam black cohosh licorice dong quai  These contain some phytoestrogens, which your body will convert to estrogen.
