Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Pomegranate has a long history of use in traditional medicine, including systems like Ayurveda and Persian medicine, where it has been used to support women’s health and alleviate menopausal symptoms. The seeds and juice of pomegranate are rich in polyphenols and contain phytoestrogens—plant compounds that can weakly mimic estrogen in the body. Traditional uses often cite pomegranate for its perceived ability to balance hormones and reduce symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings. However, scientific evidence supporting these traditional claims is limited. Some small pilot studies and animal experiments suggest that pomegranate extracts may have mild estrogenic effects, possibly due to compounds like ellagic acid and punicalagins, but results are inconclusive and effects are modest compared to conventional hormone therapy. Reviews of clinical trials note a lack of rigorous, large-scale studies specifically examining pomegranate for menopause. Most available evidence focuses on its antioxidant and cardiovascular benefits, rather than direct effects on menopausal symptoms. In summary, the use of pomegranate for menopause is primarily rooted in tradition, with minimal and low-quality scientific validation. Women should consult healthcare professionals before using pomegranate as a remedy for menopausal symptoms, especially if considering it as an alternative to established therapies.
