Menopause Relief: Nature's top herbal medicines and more!
Menopause Relief Nature's top herbal medicines and more Author:Angela Stengler, Mark Stengler During my last year of medical school, I worked with a menopausal patient named Gloria. She had some severe symptoms, including fatigue, depression, circulation problems (her feet would turn bright red and were painfully swollen), hot flashes, poor memory, and various digestive problems. We had been treating her for some time with limited... more » results. While reviewing her case, it occurred to me that hormonal imbalance was probably the cause of many of her problems. Gloria was on conventional hormone replacement therapy (synthetic estrogen and progesterone), prescribed by her family doctor. I looked up the side effects of these synthetic hormones, and to my amazement, almost all her symptoms were listed as side effects! I suggested to my supervisor that we should get Gloria off the synthetic hormones and onto an herbal hormone-balancing therapy. Hesitantly, my supervisor agreed, and Gloria made the switch. She returned to the clinic a month later, with tremendous improvement in most of her symptoms. This taught me two valuable lessons. First conventionally prescribed hormones can potentially cause serious side effects. Second, natural treatments, such as herbal medicines, can effectively and safely relieve menopausal symptoms. Now, years later, I always consider hormonal imbalances as a possible contributor to women's illnesses. I also use natural therapies as the first line of treatment for menopause. Millions of women across North America are trying to manage their menopausal symptoms, both physiological and psychological. More women are turning to natural medicine because they are concerned about the risks of pharmaceutical hormone replacement therapy.
