The Menopause, And Menopause Symptoms

Are You One Of The 8,000 With Menopause Symptoms?

Menopause symptoms start to affect about 8,000 Western women each day, as they enter the menopause. Menopause symptoms can raise a variety of concerns and fears.

Uncertainty and misinformation about menopause abound. Emotional strains are heightened by the all too apparent physical and mental symptoms a woman can experience.

At the very time when a woman needs extra support from her partner, nature can act against her. Also during 'menopause, stress' can be higher and can create communication difficulties. This can lead to problems with partners, family and friends during the menopause.

Herbs can help address the  signs of menopause

Drugs - Society's Elixir of Choice

Rather than search for effective natural remedies for menopause symptoms, many women face another  difficult - choice; HRT (or ERT) - yes or no?

The doctor probably says this is how best to treat menopause symptoms. Nurses often agree. Friends and colleagues may report some positive results from HRT for menopause. Women's groups used to/still do regard HRT as "a woman's right" for menopause symptoms.

• Results from long term trials are limited and ambiguous.
• You may react against taking a drug for years into the future - perhaps for the first time.
• You are worried about cancer risks.

And you probably wonder if there are natural ways which can better help menopause symptoms - after all, menopause is a natural process. Surely, the symptoms must be able to be managed in a more natural way?

Naturopathy

My preferred method - for general good health and at the time of the menopause - is using naturopathy in combination with herbs.

You probably need to change your lifestyle if you want to be as healthy as possible, and if you want to help yourself during the menopause. This does take some effort on your part - maybe changing entrenched habits. But it will be worth it. Changing habits can be very beneficial for these symptoms.

The 'magic bullet' is no more present in natural medicine than it was once thought to be in conventional medicine. It takes some solid effort to keep yourself in balance and feeling great.

Naturopathy is the use of simple methods to aid nature to get you well and keep you well. It includes focusing on food, exercise, relaxation and being happy in your work and your life.
