Hot flushes, insomnia and labile moods can affect the quality of life of menopausal women. Usually, hormone replacement therapy is prescribed to alleviate extreme menopausal symptoms, although recently plant products have gained more interest. Most medicinal plants that are meant to reduce menopausal symptoms are sold as dietary supplements; however, there are two herbal medicinal products that are avaliable over the counter in Slovenia.
