The present invention relates to a method for treating a patient suffering from a thermoregulatory dysfunction, especially hot flashes and flushes associated with hormonal changes due to naturally occurring menopause (whether male or female) or due to chemically or surgically induced menopause. The method is also applicable to treating the hot flashes, hot flushes, or night sweats associated with disease states that disrupt normal hormonal regulation of body temperature.

The invention relates to a method for the treatment of vasomotor symptoms comprising the administration of a therapeutically effective amount of flibanserin.

The invention relates to a method for the treatment of vasomotor symptoms comprising the administration of a therapeutically effective amount of flibanserin.

The present invention relates to an extract obtained by extracting useful components containing equol from an equol-containing fermented soybean hypocotyl, and to a method for producing the same.

The present invention makes it possible to efficiently obtain useful components containing equol from the fermented soybean hypocotyl by subjecting an equol-containing fermented soybean hypocotyl to extraction using an ethanol aqueous solution as an extractant. The present invention reduces the content of saponin, which causes an unpleasant taste, by sequentially subjecting the equol-containing fermented soybean hypocotyl to extraction using an ethanol aqueous solution and ethanol, while efficiently extracting equol and glycitein.

A product for treating conditions and/or symptoms associated with women health is described, which product comprises at least one cannabinoid in a specific amount, a primary terpene in a specific amount, at least 5% by weight of a non-cannabinoid, non-terpene, carrier, optionally at least three secondary terpenes, and optionally at least one phytoestrogen; wherein said non-cannabinoid, non-terpene carrier comprises cellulose and the terpenes to cannabinoids weight/weight ratio in said product is about 0.1 to about 1.0. Also described is the product wherein said non-cannabinoid, non-terpene carrier comprises less than 5% by weight cellulose and the terpenes to cannabinoids weight/weight ratio in said compositions is about 0.05 to about 1.0, forming a terpene-enriched product. Also described are uses of the product for treating conditions and/or symptoms associated with perimenopause, menopause, female urogenital or reproductive system infections and/or disorders, menstrual cycle, hormonal deficiency and/or hormonal imbalance.
