Peppermint, thyme, and rosemary. These herbs can be used for treating cold symptoms. It can be consumed by brewing them into tea and enjoying it with a spoonful of honey.
Ginseng
. This is used for increasing/boosting the immune system functions and for relieving stress. The constant use of ginseng can help women improve their feeling of well-being.

Soy
. Soy is a plant that contains estrogens for relieving menopausal symptoms such as night sweats and hot flashes. Too much consumption of soy beans can be risky for women who have a history of estrogen dependent breast cancer; because huge amounts of soy and isoflavone supplements could interact with estrogen which in turn is quite harmful to its user.
