Menopause is a natural process….every woman needs to go through this transitional phase from perimenopause to menopause and post menopausal. How a woman transitions through these phases is heavily dependent on her body’s ability to transition and adapt to produce hormones through alternate sources of breast tissues, the adrenal glands and fat cells. At the same time the hormonal control centre in the brain needs to adapt to these changing levels.
Menopausal symptoms are a huge issue for women, particularly in the Western world. As an interesting comparison, Asian women tend to suffer less from menopause – particularly when they’re eating their traditional diets and remaining active. However, when Asian women live in the western world or eat a more Western diet, they tend to develop the same menopausal symptoms.
Here are some of the common Menopausal symptoms you may be familiar with:
- Hot flushes
- Rheumatism
- Insomnia
- Weight gain
- Mood swings
- Irritability
- Skin outbreaks
- Dry vagina
- Headache
The most well researched and clinically proven Herbs for Menopause are Black Cohosh (Cimicifuga Racemosa), Sage (Salvia Officinalis) and Chaste Tree (Vitex Agnus Castus).
Herbal medicines are each very effective on their own. However, the real magic occurs when you combine them. They work in synergy in the brain, to affect the Hypothalamic-Pituitary axis, which is the centre that controls hormone levels naturally – without the need for synthetic options.
Combining these natural remedies with lifestyle changes is the key to easing and supporting you through menopausal symptoms, which can range from mildly annoying right through to severely debilitating.
Another crucial aspect is your diet… In the Western world, processed foods, fatty foods and alcohol can really exacerbate symptoms such as menopausal flushing.
What we’ve found is when you combine positive lifestyle changes with these natural herbs, it works extremely well to manage menopausal symptoms naturally.
