Herbal Remedies for Menopause
Menopause is not an illness; it's a phase in a woman's life which causes ovulation to cease and menstruation to stop. However, hormone levels can fluctuate for years before the change is finalized. During this time, called peri-menopause, the ovaries slow the production of hormones like estorgen, testosterone, and progesterone.
Fluctuating hormone levels cause many symptoms including...
Hot flashes: Our body's thermostat is located in the hypothalamus area of the brain, which stops working properly if estrogen levels are not sufficient. This will cause you to experience extremely hot or cold sensations.
Sleep problems: It is not certain if estrogen has an effect on sleep patterns; however, other symptoms caused by estrogen deficiency could be the culprit of sleep problems during and after menopause (i.e. irritability and hot flashes).
Vaginal dryness: Inadequate vaginal lubrication can be very disturbing for most women due to the pain, discomfort, and sometimes bleeding experienced during sexual intercourse.
Aches and pains: One peculiar symptom of menopause is an increase in frequency of normal aches and pains such as headaches and neck, join, and back pain.
Emotions: Irritability, depression, personality changes, and anxiety are very common during menopause; these changes can carry a loss of sexual desire. Although these problems are related to the shortage of estrogen, some may be caused by the inability to cope with the psychological impact caused by all the other symptoms.
Many of the symptoms and discomforts experienced during menopause can be relieved by using natural home remedies, things like changing your diet and using some very specific herbs have shown remarkable improvements in women going through menopause.
