Natural Remedies for Menopause -Long Term Solutions
Natural remedies for menopause treat the underlying causes of menopause symtpoms to provide natural menopause relief. In contrast conventional medicine throws synthetic hormones at the symptoms in an attempt to relieve them, while ignoring or refusing to accept their underlying causes.
Menopause Symptoms - MidLife Crisis Makers
What are these symptoms? Things such as depression, hair loss, vaginal bleeding or spotting, weight gain, urogenital atrophy, weight loss, headaches, insomnia, pregnancy, anxiety, hot flashes, itching, little or no libido, mood swings, frustration, fibrocystic breasts, cervical dysplasia, gall bladder problems, hyper, or hypo-thyroidism, and even female cancers.All of these widely divergent symptoms have a few things in common. They are all considered symptoms of premenopause, perimenopause, and menopause in the western world, and they are all actually signs of a hormonal imbalance in our bodies. Although the symptoms are most frequently associated with menopause, their cause actually begins years previously, during the pre-menopause or peri-menopause years of our lives. In fact this hormonal imbalance can actually start occurring in the early to late thirties for many women.
Conventional Medicine Uses Short Term Fixes...
But they will worsen long term problems. Using synthetic hormones will never restore our body's balance so although initially they may offer some relief from the worst symptoms, over time the problems will re-occur and grow worse. This isn't just my opinion, it is well established fact. A recent long term study using conventional hormonal drugs was stopped because they noticeably increased the participants' risk for cancer, heart attack, and strokes. If you'd like to read all the details and reference information, please check out What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Menopause (TM): The Breakthrough Book on Natural Hormone Balance . On page four he gives the results of these studies and discusses them. The complete study results are referenced in the footnotes as well. You can get the book from Amazon at the preceding link, or it is available through most public libraries.
Natural Remedies for Menopause Provide Long Term Solutions
Instead of simply treating symptoms they attack underlying causes, allowing your body to heal. Most of the symptoms listed above are caused by a hormonal imbalance in our bodies that develops slowly during the years leading up to menopause. Since the imbalance worsens over time, so do the symptoms.However when we recognize the problem, it is fairly easy to restore our hormonal balance. Usually we have more estrogen in our bodies than we should have for the amount of progesterone our bodies produce. By simply using a natural progesterone cream for part of the month we can balance our hormones. When we do this, most of the problems disappear. If you'd like more specifics about this supplement and why it is such an effective natural remedy for menopause, please click on one of the links and read the full page I've written about it. Balancing your hormones by using a natural progesterone cream is probably the most effective and easiest of the natural remedies for Menopause, but if for some reason you are unwilling or unable to use this remedy, there are other natural remedies available as well.
