Abstract
Hormones of plant origin, phytohormones, have recently come more and more into the foreground of the interest of gynecologists as an alternative to classical hormonal replacement therapy for the treatment of acute climacteric syndromes. As the primary treatment, the phytohormones are a convenient medication in premenopause, perimenopause and early postmenopause.
In the early postmenopause it is used especially in cases with adverse effects to other hormonal treatment, or when hormonal treatment is contraindicated or rejected by women from various reasons. A typical representative of the plant is Cimicifuga racemosa.
