Herbal Remedies For Menopause

A co-worker goes through the "change" or at least she thinks she is. She does not visit the GP and start HRT, but has had some bad press on herbal remedies recently. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions please? Thank you

The problem with HRT is that you do not want to take it if you must, then most doctors will not do it for more than six months. If we can help menopause nightmare, most women can adapt to changes in other ways. Hot flashes can be treated during the day by several layers of clothing, and maintain a method of Oriental fan fold hand. At night, you keep a nightgown alternative to dry on the end of the bed. If she wants to try some herbal remedies, good. Just tell him to be sure she chooses one from an old reliable company and not a wall of the position of China. Some research has suggested isoflavinoides in soy products may help, because they can act in place of estrogen, it decreases the production of. Eastern women do not tend to have problems with menopause, and they believe it is part of the explanation. Tofu is not a miracle, though, because these chemicals are about 1,000 times less potent than the estrogen you are naturally. And honestly, a lot of problems with menopause is linked to how we feel about the process and ourselves. If she is dreading the upcoming changes, it will tend to have more difficulty as well. It should certainly consider going to the gynecologist and at least do a blood test to see how far along the process, it is, if that is what is happening and see what options it has choose. Not all HRT, you know. They have many other suggestions that may help too. It may be helpful as well if she hears you and other ladies of "age" that menopause can actually be a positive force in life. Yeah, it means that you will not get pregnant more. But again, it means you're free of this concern. You do not have to worry about going to swim, wear white trousers, cramps or disadvantages that period. For some women, which is actually quite liberating. And it is certainly not the end of sexual life is old. Without the worry of pregnancy, many women find things to actually improve in this arena. All they need is a willing partner, and is generally not a problem. Help her find the positives, and may find the process is not so bad after all.

Soy. It contains phytoestrogens (estrogen-like substances from a plant). Some research has shown that soy foods may help mild hot flashes. Other research suggests that women who were diagnosed with breast cancer estrogen-dependent must be cautious with their soy consumption. Eating large amounts of soy products could be harmful for women with this type of breast cancer.
Other sources of phytoestrogens. The active ingredients in most dietary supplements for menopause are phytoestrogens - chemicals found in plants that can act like the estrogen produced naturally in the body. These include herbs such as black cohosh, wild yam, dong quai, and valerian root.
