Often women breeze through menopause without any troubles. However many do not and are afflicted by one or several of the problems linked with the menopause ie hot flashes, night sweats, head ache, insomnia, sadness, gaining weight, tiredness etc. With time, these symptoms do pass. Regrettably, it often does take a while. There are steps you can take to minimize the affect...

As a pharmacist, I am aware of the dangers linked with all medication and in this case HRT for menopause and so have been searching to alternative means of assuaging menopause issues using herbal medicine, relaxation treatment like qi gong and acupuncture, and non-synthetic 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 also known as the chaste berry with hundreds of years of use as a supplement for everyday female health. Chaste berry is believed to nourish the pituitary gland which is the control centre for balancing hormonal activity.
Also useful for treating menopause, Black Cohosh is probably the best natural alternative ...
... to HRT. Medical grade extracts of black cohosh have been demonstrated toget more impressive results in relieving hot flashes, symptoms of the vagina, sadness and anxiousness compared to normal HRT.

Another great supplement, Theanine is an excellent adjunct for regulating the emotional difficulty linked with menopause.

Milk thistle is another herb used to to help have a natural menopause, that can be useful, as the hormonal shifts in the body do place more of a burden on the liver, this can cause more intense symptoms, and milk thistle is one of the best natural liver cleansers in existence.

Hormone therapy using bio-identical hormones like progesterone cream is often very useful particularly with menopause connected headaches. Using it rejuvenates progesterone levels so that it is even with a woman's estrogen level without causing the undesirable effects of unnatural progesterone.

An alternative choice to sooth the scourges of menopause is to use acupuncture. Acupuncture evens your body's vitality by transfering zones of excess to zones of deficiency. This art is thousands of years old and has lessened menopause issues for as long as history has been recorded. Nowadays, acupuncture is normal and acupuncturists are everyplace. Just look in your phone book, ask someone you know for a suggestion, or explore Google.

With any choice you make, you should be cognisant that you can treat menopause naturally. Whether you use healing herbs, hypnosis, meditation, bio-identical hormones, yoga, a combo, or another modality many options are open to you. In the information age, a answer may just be a click away from you.
