Menopause, the end of a woman's reproductive period, is diagnosed after 12 months of amenorrhea. It represents the ovarian hormonal decline, which starts much earlier, a period called the climacteric. Which can be accompanied by unpleasant symptoms, and many women look for alternatives to alleviate them. The use of medicinal plants is as old as humanity, and has been proposed as an alternative to reduce climacteric symptoms. This cross-sectional epidemiological study aimed to assess the prevalence of symptoms and use of herbal medicines in climacteric women who use a social network. A standardized questionnaire was used and data collection was online. Diagnosis of climacteric was by self-reference. 139 women participated in the study, in relation to the use of herbal medicines, we observed that 57.6% (n = 80) use herbal medicines, as for the type of herbal medicines used, nine were listed by the women, the most used eing blackberry white (morus alba) (22.98%). That symptoms were present in 100% of the sample and the use of herbal medicines was frequent among climacteric women, with morus alba being the most cited, although clinical trials with the herbal medicine have not been documented.
