What herbal supplements increase vaginal lubrication?

Some herbal supplements—such as black cohosh, red clover, and maca root—are traditionally used to relieve menopausal symptoms including vaginal dryness, but evidence for their effectiveness is limited and they may not be suitable for everyone.

Clinical Context

We sometimes discuss herbal supplements with patients seeking natural relief, but always stress that these should complement—not replace—medical advice and evidence-based care.

Evidence-Based Approaches

Current guidelines do not recommend herbal supplements as primary treatment for vaginal dryness, due to limited and variable evidence. RCOG: Herbal Therapies for Menopause.
