Rating (out of 5): 1

Goji berries (Lycium barbarum), also known as wolfberries, have a long history of use in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). In TCM, goji is believed to nourish the liver and kidneys, improve vitality, and support overall well-being, which are considered important for women experiencing menopausal symptoms. Traditionally, goji is used to alleviate symptoms such as fatigue, night sweats, and dizziness, which may be associated with menopause.

However, there is very limited direct scientific evidence specifically supporting goji berry’s efficacy in treating or alleviating menopausal symptoms. Most modern research on goji focuses on its antioxidant, neuroprotective, and general health-promoting properties. Some small studies suggest goji may help with mood and sleep, but these are not menopause-specific. There is a lack of robust clinical trials addressing its effects on hot flashes, hormonal balance, or other primary menopausal symptoms.

Overall, the use of goji for menopause is primarily based on traditional use rather than strong scientific validation. The available evidence supporting its use for this specific condition is weak, and more targeted research is needed to substantiate any claims regarding its benefits for menopausal women.
