Note that some natural herbal remedies can have dangerous side effects when combined with over the counter or prescribed medications. Make sure you ask questions.


Now I will share the menopausal symptoms

1. Hot Flashes/Night Sweats.

This menopausal symptom is one of the evilest one of all. It can range from mild annoyance to severe "out-of-your-mind" that you can not think. Hot flashes can come on sudden and without warning, leaving you flushed, sweaty, headache, chilled, nausea and heart racing.

Two herbs I use and recommend for hot flashes are Black Cohosh and Red Clover. Note, these herbs have the following nutrients: calcium, chromium, magnesium, niacin, phosphorus, potassium, thiamine, and vitamin C. It is also considered to be one of the richest sources of isoflavones (water-soluble chemicals that act like estrogen. I like the tea form of the herb, but you can always purchase the pill supplement form.

2. Anxiety/Stress/Insomnia/Mood Swings/Panic Attack/Weight Gain

Are very common due to hormonal imbalance during menopause. Hormones are produced by glands in the body and control bodily functions everything from hunger, sleep, to the onset of puberty and controlling the reproductive system.

There are two traditional herbs to use to control these symptoms: Ginseng and Kava.

Other things that may provide relief for menopausal symptoms and maintain your overall health are Vitamins A, D and B Complex, Calcium, Evening Primrose Oil, Wild Yam, Licorice, Maca and St. Johns Wort.

Other things you can do to help alleviate the menopausal symptoms is to reduce or to eliminate caffeine, exercise on a regular basis, eat healthy foods, get enough sleep and to set aside time daily to relax.
