The fruit of 'this' is helpful for menopausal symptoms

Efficacy of fig tree fruit
1. Improve hot flashes
2. Improve insomnia
3. Reduce headaches

This is Jinny, the pharmacist.

Today, I would like to introduce the fruit of the locust tree, which is attracting attention as a health material for menopausal women following isoflavone . Known as a tree that ward off evil spirits, the locust tree has long been used as a medicine for its flowers, fruits, and bark. In particular , sophoricoside, found in the fruit of the locust tree, is also a type of isoflavone, and is known to help alleviate menopausal symptoms as it has a molecular structure similar to that of estrogen.

Today, through a thesis researching the effect of intake of fig tree fruit extract on relieving menopausal symptoms, let's check what symptoms can help improve.
1. Improve facial flushing

Hot flashes are one of the most common symptoms of menopause experienced by many women. After menopause, as estrogen secretion decreases, there is an abnormality in the body temperature control function, and even a slight increase in body temperature causes blood vessel dilation, resulting in hot flushes.

As a result of the study, it was found that sophoricoside in the fruit of the sophora tree works similarly to estrogen to alleviate the symptoms of facial flushing.
" Interestingly, the Rexflavone (Apricot tree fruit extract) group showed a significant effect on 4 of 11 symptoms, including hot flushes, insomnia, fatigue and headache, after 12 weeks. "

2. Improves insomnia

Another menopausal symptom is insomnia. There are two main causes of insomnia after menopause. Vasomotor symptoms, such as night sweats, can make it difficult to get a good night's sleep, resulting in insomnia. Or you feel extreme mood changes as the balance of the autonomic nerve is disturbed due to the decrease in estrogen secretion. At this time, anxious and depressed feelings are pushed and it may be difficult to fall asleep.

In the above study, it has been reported that the fruit of the locust tree is also effective in improving insomnia .

3. Headache Reduction

Post-menopausal women experience headaches that have never existed before, making life uncomfortable. In this regard, in a study, it was said that the fruit of the locust tree had a positive effect on relieving headaches in menopausal women . 
" Interestingly, the Rexflavone (Apricot tree fruit extract) group showed a significant effect on 4 of 11 symptoms, including hot flushes, insomnia, fatigue and headache, after 12 weeks. "

Today we looked at the benefits of consuming locust berries in relation to menopausal symptoms. As mentioned earlier, sophoricoside in the fruit of the locust tree performs functions similar to estrogen in the body. Therefore, those who are sensitive to estrogen hormone should be careful about intake .

I hope you have a healthy day in body and mind. It was Jinny.
