Menopause-How to combat


2. Herbal PreparationsMany herbs and foods contain natural hormones (such as phytoestrogens) or hormone-balancing properties that can help you ease into this transition period. While there are a number of options for treating menopause symptoms with herbal remedies, some seem to be more effective than others. It’s wise to consult with a naturopathic doctor first, especially if you have other medical conditions and take medications.Some of the most commonly used herbal remedies to treat menopause symptoms include:
  • Ginseng
  • Evening primrose oil
  • Licorice root
  • Wild yams
  • Red raspberry leaves
  • Chaste tree
  • Sarsaparilla
Each one of the above herbs has a specific symptom (or sometimes symptoms) that it’s able to help treat. It’s important to note which of your menopause symptoms are most bothersome and start by treating those first, then work your way down the list. This is where the knowledge of a trained naturopath doctor can be helpful. A doctor has extensive knowledge of which herb to use to treat your exact symptoms, which dosages are safest and advice about which herbs can be safely used simultaneously.
