Function
It is a herbal medicine that has been used for centuries in Indo-China as a treatment for hangovers, allergies, indigestion, diabetes and angina. Pueraria Lobata also enhances female potency and beauty effects such as breast firmness and breast enlargement, increased vaginal sexual secretions, and healthier hair. It also relieves conditions such as recovery from surgery, charisma clearance, irregular menstruation, menstrual discomfort and menopausal symptoms.
Anti-aging
Most women worry about aging and especially about the effects brought on by aging. For the average woman, the menstruation cycle ends at age 48 to 50 as the reproductive system stops functioning. As a result, the production level of estrogen within the body also falls. One method to soften the impact of menopause is Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT).
The onset of menopause can have often drastic physiological consequences such as a weakening of the immune system, hot flushes, fatigue, insomnia, bone loss, hair loss, degeneration of the reproductive organs leading to occurrence of tumours or cysts. Psychological changes can also follow, such as anxiety attacks, tension, nervousness and even chronic depression.
Clinical Studies
Clinical studies have shown that phyto-estrogens, which are found in Pueraria Lobata, play a role in reducing the risk of breast cancer. Phyto-estrogens are derived from plants while estrogen is a hormone produced in animals and humans. They are anti-carcinogenic, and hence found to be tumour inhibiting.
In studies conducted in Australia and the UK at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital in Perth and Chelsea Hospital for Women in London respectively, research patients were treated with doses of phyto-estrogen in regular amount over a one-year period. At the conclusion of the studies, patients have higher levels of phyto-estrogens moderating the levels of estrogen, thus reducing the amount of free circulating estrogen. That in turn, potentially reduces the risk of breast cancer.
Other beneficial medical effects also included relief for menopausal and age-related conditions such as mood swings, hot flushes, osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, fatigue, insomnia, hair loss, and cholesterol. Consumption of phyto-estrogen also reverses vaginal and urinary tract changes, reduces occurrence of cysts, reduces constipation, and even helps women regain their lost sexual function.
Cosmetic results include enlargement and firming up of breasts, healthier clearer skin, fuller more feminine body shape, shinier darker hair and a happier disposition.
