A Guide To Alternative Therapies For Menopause

********

Menopause is quite a complex phase in a woman s life. It is the time in her life when her menstrual cycle ends and she is basically being told that her stage of fertility is over, that she can no longer can pregnant and bear children. This is obviously emotionally and mentally devastating to many women, even if they were not planning on having any more children any way, and it can definitely be one of the toughest times in a woman s life.

It is really the symptoms that are associated with menopause that are the toughest to deal with, including hot flashes, vaginal dryness and night sweats, because they begin to interfere with regular everyday living and start to make the woman feel less like herself and come to the realization that she is getting older.

Herbs Not Prescriptions

When it comes to the treatment of menopause there are quite a few options, which is one of the very few positive points in this situation. You can choose to go with the more conventional methods of treatment including prescription medications, or you can choose from one of the available menopause alternative therapies.

All menopause alternative therapies encompass a sort of holistic approach, and a belief that the symptoms caused by menopause can be treated effectively without the use of any medicines or medications. Nutritional supplements are very popular here, but herbs are considered as being the most widely accepted and effective of all when it comes to alternative therapies for menopause treatment.

Black Cohosh is one herb in particular that is known for being incredibly effective at relieving menopausal symptoms, especially hot flashes. It is a good estrogenic herb that acts specifically on the uterus to reduce cramps and congestion, and it contains two anti-rheumatic agents and can also help to reduce cholesterol levels and blood pressure on top of that.

Another herb that must be mentioned in the discussion of menopausal alternative therapies is licorice, which is a powerful adrenal stimulant that works wonderfully as an estrogenic herb. It is very effective in treating the symptoms of menopause however women with high blood pressure have to be very careful if they begin using this herb because if taken in too high of dosages it can deplete potassium and elevate blood pressure even more.

Whether you are interested in sticking with conventional, tried and true methods or natural, alternative therapies for menopausal treatment, you will still want to talk to your doctor first. Work with your doctor and plan it out with them so that you can be sure that you are not putting yourself at any risk and that you are making the most intelligent and beneficial decision.
