Aim: To investigate the influence of Cimicifuga Racemosa in women with peri – and early postmenopause.

Materials and Methods: 125 women were investigated. They created 2 groups. The group I – perimenopausal women, their age varied between 36–45 years (n=85); II – women with early postmenopause, their age varied between 46–55 years (n=40). They complained about hot flashes, skin irritating, excess hyperhidrosis, tachycardia, giddiness, pulsation in the head, lability of the pulse and arterial tension, oligoamenorrhea, the soreness of the breast. All this patients received Cimicifuga Racemosa – 2 tablets daily during 6 months.

Results: After the treatment with Cimicifuga Racemosa the significant improvement of the condition was observed. In both of the groups in 95 women the complaints were either reduced, or vanished. In the rest of the cases the arterial tension stayed elevated, what probably is related to the concomitant disease – arterial hypertension.

Conclusions: Cimicifuga Racemosa is a very effective medication in peri – and early postmenopausal women.
