Natural Menopause Relief

Many women sail through the menopause without any problems. However many do not and suffer from one or several of the symptoms associated with the menopause ie hot flashes, night sweats, headache, insomnia, depression, weight gain, fatigue etc. The good news is that things do get better, the bad that it takes a while and you have to really take care of yourself if you want to continue to feel fit and young...

 As a pharmacist, I am aware of the risks associated with all medication and in this case HRT for the menopause and so have been looking to alternative ways of alleviating menopause symptoms using herbs, relaxation treatment like massage and reflexology, and natural progesterone cream to enable one to have a natural menopause.

The two main herbs used for the menopause and it's symptoms are Agnus Castus and Black Cohosh. Theanine is also an excellent adjunct for controlling the stress associated with the menopause.

Milk thistle is another herb to use to help have a natural menopause, that can be useful, as the hormonal changes in the body can place an additional load on the liver, which can in turn intensify symptoms, and milk thistle is an excellent remedy for the liver.

Bio-identical hormones eg progesterone cream is something which I find very useful especially with menopause related headaches.
