Consider a Menopause Natural Treatment to Relieve Your Menopause Symptoms

By Amanda Fairwood

Nowadays many women are educating themselves on the best menopause natural treatment that does not involve the commercially-made hormones that are so regularly prescribed. Although hormone replacement therapy is still used widely in the U. S. to cut back the negative symptoms related to menopause, many ladies are getting increasingly scared about this form of treatment that has reported side effects which include cancer.

The excellent news is that many of the alternative menopause natural remedies work well and do not have reported negative side effects and can be purchased from the privacy and convenience of your house.

The most popular forms of menopause natural remedies are herbal. They can be presented in the form of aromatherapy, salves, massage oils and gels, infusions, tablets or ointments. Their effectiveness is contributed to their ability to mimic the body's own hormone production of estrogen and can reduce the fluctuation in hormone levels that cause menopause symptoms such as night sweats, low sex drive, inability to sleep, waves of hot flashes, lack of mental acuteness and mood fluctuations to cite a couple. Most herbal formulas include maca root, dong quai, red clover or black cohosh.

As well as these herbs having the ability to mimic female hormones like estrogen, they have their own individual characteristics that are especially beneficial as a menopause natural treatment. For instance, black cohosh has been fantastic in lessening the power and frequency of heavy sweating in the night, hot flashes and genital dryness.

Additionally, it evidently can do miracles with smoothing out the personality and reducing the frequency of mood changes. Maca root is known for bringing back a good libido. Dong quai works very well in combination with black cohosh and fights an inability also. Moreover, red clover has been known to chill night sweats and strengthen the cardiovascular system. An additional herb that is growing in its application with its wonderful benefits as a natural menopause treatment is clary sage. It is believed to regulate hormones and is most often used with geranium. Some gurus proclaim that clary sage also helps menopausal headaches, disrupted digestion, weepiness, moodiness, bloating, indigestion and hopelessness.

If you opt for a menopause natural treatment other than Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) always do your homework to find out the origin of the herbal treatments. Not all products are similar in quality, effectiveness or potency. Take the time to check the origin of the herbs when possible, review the warranties and what needs to be done to return an item to the businesses that distribute them and the non-subjective testimonials of women who have used them.
