Menopause symptoms are resultant from decreased estrogen and
progesterone production in the ovaries. These hormone
fluctuations can wreak physiological havoc on a woman. Among
the symptoms a woman may experience are hot flashes, mood
swings, night sweats, unexplained weight gain, exhaustion , and
insomnia. Contain these symptoms is often very difficult and
stressful. Prescription drugs can alleviate some of these
symptoms; however, the prescription medications have drawbacks.
Some have side effects so serious that they can be worse than
the symptoms themselves. For example, some of the prescriptions
made to treat hot flashes cause itchy rashes that cover the
body. Other prescription medications have long term side
effects, including diseases such as cancer. Often treating your
symptoms with a safe, natural, herbal remedy is the optimal
method for coping with menopause.
