Remedies for hyperprolactinemia

Remedies for hyperprolactinemia: the advice of Professor Akim Bouterra, complemented by what the research says (medicinal plants, painful periods, and cycle), the precautions to know, and our resources to go further.

A woman who wishes to lower her prolactin naturally can use a plant called chasteberry (vitex). To do so, she will follow a course over a long period, at least eighteen months, taking two to three capsules per day.

There is also common sage, which is a hormonal regulator that helps notably to regulate the menstrual cycle and avoid premenstrual syndrome. The woman can take two to three cups of sage herbal tea per day, also over a long period.

Today you can even find supplements in capsule form made from sage and chasteberry, taken at two capsules per day for a duration of eighteen months.

Furthermore, the cause of hyperprolactinemia can come from stress, which is why it will be good to take vitamin E and B as a dietary supplement, at a rate of one capsule in the morning for eighteen months.

As we have seen, lowering the prolactin level will require a long time, and several factors must be taken into account.

What the science says: medicinal plants, painful periods, and the cycle

Here is what published research says about the remedies mentioned above, for context — these studies address material causes, while healing belongs to Allah.

Medicinal plants: using them properly

Moringa, for example, has shown an effect on blood sugar according to a meta-analysis (Molecules, 2021) and its safety has been reviewed (Phytother Res, 2015); more generally, plants act — and therefore interact: the review of plants against anxiety (Pharmacol Res, 2022) or against painful periods (J Int Med Res, 2020) reminds us of this. Precaution: respect the doses, avoid mixing many plants together, check compatibility with any treatments, pregnancy, or breastfeeding; buy quality plants from a controlled source.

Painful periods and the cycle

Ginger reduces period pain according to several meta-analyses (J Integr Complement Med, 2024) (Cureus, 2021), as do cinnamon and fennel (J Int Med Res, 2020); magnesium and omega-3s help with premenstrual syndrome, and an anti-inflammatory diet reduces endometriosis pain (Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol, 2022). Precaution: very heavy, very painful, or irregular periods deserve a medical workup (endometriosis, fibroid, PCOS, thyroid); chasteberry and sage act on hormones — seek medical advice if under treatment.
