Menopause Symptoms

May occur with different frequency during the day depending on each particular woman. It's characterized by a feeling of warmth which spreads over the body, usually most pronounced in the chest and the head. When a hot flash event takes place you may experience flushing and perspiration. They can last from 30 seconds to several minutes. There is no prediction model to tell you when they will start. Up to 40% of women still going through normal periods in their forties have hot flash occurrences. 80% of the women will finish these occurrences after five years but for about 10% of women it can take up to ten years for them to disappear. There is no understanding yet of the exact cause for hot flashes, but they are likely caused by declining levels of estrogen in your body. These events occur during nighttime and may produce heavy sweating to the point of soaking your nightclothes even when your bedroom is at a pleasant cool temperature. Throughout the years of perimenopause, many women will experience them. Just like hot flashes, night sweats are the result of sudden increases in a woman's body temperature; the body temperature peaks and stays up for a little while and then returns to normal. When these events are frequent it can affect your quality of sleep making you feel tired during the day

Is it Dangerous?

Although this stage of your life will generate discomfort to you hot flashes, night sweats and mild irritability are not considered harmful by physicians and the good news is: They can be treated to ease their discomfort in a variety of ways, such as hormone replacement therapy, or plant-based phytoestrogens such as the ones present in EaseFemin*

Lifestyle changes.

A healthy diet and regular exercise program will go a long way towards minimizing the symptoms of menopause and helping to maintain overall good health. It is also a good idea to finally kick any old, unhealthy habits, such as smoking or drinking too much alcohol. Other interventions that may be helpful are to dress lightly and in layers and avoid potential triggers like caffeine and spicy foods.For vaginal dryness, moisturizers and nonestrogen lubricants such as KY Jelly, Replens, and Astroglide are available. Remaining sexually active may also help to preserve the lining of the vagina

Herbal Remedies for Menopause

Licorice has estrogenic effects and is successfully used to treat menopausal symptoms. Black cohosh, alfalfa, and red clover contain phytoestrogens, too. Hot flashes may diminish with the regular use of one or more of these herbs.
Eighty milligrams per day of black cohosh extract, taken in divided doses, is beneficial to some women. Oregon grape and dandelion root are two other herbs that some claim help to reduce hot flashes, but this has not yet been confirmed.
It was thought for some time that wild yam contained a substance similar to progesterone, a female hormone. Unfortunately, the compound it does contain cannot be converted into the needed hormone in the body. However, in the laboratory a progesteronelike substance can be made from wild yam and may be useful for retaining bone density and relieving symptoms. Other wild yam compounds and their actions may be of benefit to menopausal women.
Lignans, which are a component of fiber, also act as phytoestrogens. Lignans are found in flax, whole grains, legumes, and some vegetables.
The vegetables in your garden can also contribute loads of vitamin C and bioflavonoids, both of which may help relieve hot flashes. Although most vegetables contain some vitamin C, those with large amounts include broccoli, beet greens, peppers, parsley, salad greens, citrus fruits, melons, berries, and apricots.
Bioflavonoids are also usually found in foods high in vitamin C. For instance, the white membrane on the outside of a peeled orange and the whitish ribs inside a bell pepper are extremely rich in bioflavonoids. Be sure to eat them rather than throw them away. Berries, including some not normally cultivated in a garden, contain helpful flavonoids. Hawthorn berries, elderberries, and bilberries are all rich in this substance.
Vitamins A and E, aloe vera, and calendula are recommended to counteract vaginal dryness. A solution of calendula can be used as a douche.
Chinese angelica, or dong quai, helps to balance postmenopausal hormones. It, too, reduces hot flash symptoms. Use tea, extract, tincture, or capsules. A common dose is 3-4 g per day.
If insomnia is one of your symptoms, try drinking a soothing cup of chamomile and valerian tea an hour or so before bedtime.
Some women find that gamma-linolenic acid, an essential fatty acid derived from evening primrose, borage, or currant seed oil, helps ease them through menopause. Licorice can elevate blood pressure unless it is deglycyrrhizinated. Do not use Chinese angelica if you are pregnant or nursing or during menstruation.

The Natural Remedies For Menopause

Avoiding Stress

One important natural remedy for menopause is to avoid stress. This will help your hormones to stay balanced. Menopause tends to increase stress anyway; so avoid any extra stress you may be subject to.

For example, if you find you spend too much time thinking of others, plan to readjust this imbalance. Give yourself a break for half an hour a day, or half a day a week and do something just for you.

Yoga is one of the best natural remedies for menopause by itself as well as being a great aid to help you deal with stress in your life. Exercise also helps to reduce stress in your life.

Diet - One Of The Simple Natural Remedies For Menopause

Nutrition - one of the top natural remedies for menopause. Nutrition should be upgraded at middle age to help your body to produce adequate hormones to ease your way through menopause. For your nutritional needs, see a qualified nutritional therapist to get properly assessed for a 6 month or longer programme of nutritional therapy.

One natural food which many women have found beneficial to include in the diet is soya, or soy bean in its various forms. You can use tofu, which is produced by fermenting soya beans. Tofu is almost tasteless, so can be incorporated into any diet by judicious use. For example, it can be liquidized into soups or sauces as well as being cooked and served as a food in its own right. Or it can be fried in bite-sized portions and then included with salads. Flavour it with soy sauce, spring onion, garlic and/or fresh ginger

The Homeopathic remedy

 FOLLICULINUM in LM potency, is the most beneficial remedy for general use in any woman during peri-menopause, menopause, post menopause, and after a hysterectomy or ovary removal (which causes premature menopause).  It stimulates the continuing natural production of estrogen by the ovaries and by the other organs which also make small amounts of estrogen including the adrenal glands, liver, and kidneys.. The LM potency was the last great development by Samuel Hahnemann and is, unfortunately, ignored by most homeopaths. LM's are the fastest, most gentle, and deepest acting of all potencies. They are taken on a daily basis.
They must be prepared for the patient by a knowledgeable classical homeopath because Folliculinum LM potencies are not available in pharmacies in the proper form for patient dosing.
