Female herbalists of Southeast Asia have centuries of traditional wisdom is relieving menstrual pain, reducing white discharge and improving hormonal health and balance.

Female herbalists play a major role in treating female complaints and maintaining youthfulness and vitality. Specific herbs have enjoyed a long tradition of use for women in all stages of life; during their reproductive years, during the transition stage into menopause and into their senior years.

Many painful symptoms that occur before and during menstruation are aggravated by poor pelvic circulation, poor nutrition and poor hormonal balance. Herbal medicine is especially helpful in improving female health to relive menstrual pain, for heavy menstrual bleeding and cramps, to relieve PMS, stomach ache and for reducing white discharge.

Today science has revealed that many Asian cultures and diets possess potent phytoestrogens plants (see article below) that have been responsible for the lower incidence of hormonal and female reproductive related problems in many Asian cultures. The most important of these herbs have been shown to possess diverse properties such as maintaining hormonal balance and energy, improving breast size and freedom from many ailments even in the senior years.

Senduduk (Melastoma sp.), Pueraria mirifica and Kachip  Fatima (Labisia sp.) are perhaps the most sought after female tonic herbs from the Southeast Asian rain forest. The functional food plants; Turmeric and Ginger are  also very important due to their tonic, pain relieving, liver detoxifying and antispasmodic effects.

The Science Behind Phytoestrogens, Pueraria mirifica and Female Health

What is the function of estrogen?

Estrogen is a hormone that serves as a chemical messenger in the body. For women, it helps control their menstrual cycle, breast growth, maintain healthy bones and a healthy heart. From puberty to menopause, the ovaries produce estrogen. The five-year period of bodily transition before full menopause is called “peri-menopause.” During this period, estrogen levels in the body can fluctuate unpredictably while ultimately declining. These fluctuations cause a variety of uncomfortable symptoms, such as hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness and vaginal thinness. Women may also notice decreased libido, a decrease in arousal and orgasmic response, fatigue, weight gain, joint pains, mood swings, sleep disturbance, and hair loss. It also marks the beginning stages of an increased risk of heart disease and osteoporosis. Once menopause sets in, the ovaries no longer make estrogen. Instead, body fat becomes the primary source for estrogen.

Pueraria mirifica – nature’s most safe and effective phytoestrogen

Phytoestrogens from specific plants have been proven to bring some degree of relief for these symptoms. However, despite the increased sales in phytoestrogen products in recent years, especially those containing soya phytoestrogens, many have reported that the positive effects are too slow or only very mild. This is because some phytoestrogens work better than others. Recent scientific studies have shown that the most potent and safe phytoestrogen found in nature comes from a tropical rain forest plant in Southeast Asia called Pueraria mirifica that has been used for centuries by both women and men in Thailand. The key ingredient in Pueraria mirifica is a unique phytoestrogen named miroestrol. Miroestrol is similar to the safest human estrogen estriol. Miroestrol is 3000 times stronger than the estrogenic activity exhibited by soy isoflavones (genistein). In addition to miroestrol, Pueraria mirifica contains substantial amounts of other phytoestrogens including daidzein, genistein, puerarin, and mirificin. When miroestrol enters an estrogen receptor it modulates the effect on the receptor, either increasing its effects when the estrogenic activity is low or diluting its effects if the receptor estrogenic activity is high. What is important to understand is that miroestrol has no effect on estrogen levels in the body itself, as it only influences the estrogen receptor.

There are actually three types of estrogen found in humans: estrodial, estrone and estriol. Of the three, estriol, which is produced in high levels during pregnancy, and in small amounts in non-pregnant women, is the weakest. Its weakness, however, is actually its strength. Clinical trials have shown no links between estriol and cancer, and women who have taken it reported few side effects compared with those who took estrodial or estrone as hormone replacement therapies. This is why estriol has sometimes been referred to as “the friendly estrogen.” However, miroestrol, which functions in the same way and provides the same benefits as estriol, is found only in Pueraria mirifica and has also been shown to be completely safe in clinical trials.

Once again, it is important to emphasize here that Pueraria mirifica does not make the body produce more estrogen. It doesn’t need to as mirosterol is performing the same function on the cell receptors without the harmful side effects. Mirosterol is the key compound that sets Pueraria mirifica apart from any other plants or herbal remedies. Pueraria also contains many other phytoestrogens that have also been shown to have beneficial health effects. Among them are the isoflavones and coumestans. Isoflavones also compete with estrogen for the same cell receptors. Isoflavones are what makes soy such a healthy food. Two of the most beneficial isoflavones found in soy are also found in Pueraria mirifica: genistein and daidzein. In addition, Pueraria mirifica has its own unique isoflavones named puerarin and mirificin.

The safety of Pueraria mirifica has been extensively studied. While hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is now in decline because of its links to cancers, the same is not true for Pueraria mirifica. The reason is that in hormone replacement therapy, estrogen is added to the body after it has naturally stopped producing it. Estrogen aids cell division. Cancerous tumors are cells that are dividing and replicating at a pace that is out of control. As Pueraria mirifica does not induce the body to produce more estrogen after it has stopped doing so naturally, this risk does not exist and scientific studies have confirmed this. Northern Thailand, where Pueraria mirifica has been used as a traditional medicine for centuries, has the lowest rate of breast cancer in the world and low rates for other cancers as well.
