The present invention is directed to a new kind of medicinal value or health care function of Eurycoma longifolia extracts, particularly in the treatment or alleviation symptoms and/or conditions associated to hormonal imbalance in females, including menopause and its related symptoms. In one aspect, the present invention discloses the use of a composition comprising a therapeutically effective amount of Eurycoma longifolia extract in the manufacture of a medicament for the alleviation of symptoms and/or conditions associated to hormonal imbalance in females, including menopause and its related symptoms. The alleviation of the symptoms and/or conditions according to the present invention is characterised by inducing a change in the hormonal contents of estrogen, progesterone, follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). Also disclosed is the use of a pharmaceutical composition comprising the therapeutically effective amount of Eurycoma longifolia extract.
