Menopause
How to overcome menopause symptoms?
Menopause is the time that marks the end of women’s menstrual cycles. Menopause can start in your 40s or 50s and is a natural biological process.
Common symptoms of menopause are numerous and can include hot flashes, chills, frequent mood changes, anxiety, fatigue, insomnia, memory problems, trouble concentrating, vaginal dryness, and weight gain.
To overcome these symptoms, Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) has been the most intuitive way to minimize these symptoms. However, HRT is associated with health risks such as breast cancer, stroke, and coronary heart disease in healthy postmenopausal women.
This leads us to the next question. Is there a better alternative for women to overcome their menopause symptoms?
The answer is YES.
Women have been using traditional herbal remedies to manage menopause and its symptoms for centuries and treat everything from hot flashes and depression to anxiety and insomnia.
- Phytoestrogens are powerful estrogen-like compounds that can be consumed through natural food sources or supplements like flaxseed lignan and soy isoflavone. This makes phytoestrogen excellent for balancing hormone levels in women, especially during menopause.
- Sophora Japonica supports women experiencing menopause because of its phytoestrogen properties which promote physical comfort and mood balance. Studies report that Sophora Japonica significantly improves menopause symptoms such as hot flashes, insomnia, fatigue, and headaches.
- Licorice root is also estrogenic and can activate estrogen receptors in the body. Many compounds found in licorice root have been shown to reduce the frequency and severity of hot flashes in menopausal women.
- St. John’s Wort can be used to relieve the psychological symptoms of menopause. Common symptoms of menopause include low mood and anxiety and studies have looked specifically at the effect of St. John’s wort in menopausal women. Studies show that St. John’s wort can help not only assist with mood changes, but also with physiological symptoms such as hot flashes.
