As I already mentioned in my article above about healthy skin in menopause, I would like to present to you a natural remedy that is a real treasure for us: Pueraria Mirifica.
Pueraria mirifica, also referred to as Kwao Krua, is a plant indigenous to Thailand and various parts of Southeast Asia. With a history spanning over a century, its roots have played a significant role in traditional Thai medicine, renowned for promoting youthfulness and rejuvenation in both men and women.
The primary active components of Pueraria mirifica are phytoestrogens, plant compounds that mimic the hormone estrogen within the body.
Capitalizing on its potent estrogenic effect, Pueraria mirifica is commonly available as an herbal supplement. While predominantly used to address menopausal symptoms, ongoing research suggests that this plant may hold broader health benefits.
