Today many women are schooling themselves on the best menopause natural treatment that does not involve the man-made hormones that are so often prescribed. Even though hormone replacement therapy is still used widely in the US to cut back the negative symptoms associated with menopause, many ladies are increasingly becoming wary about this form of treatment which has documented after effects which include cancer.

The great news is that many of the non-drug menopause natural remedies are effective and not harmful and can be purchased privately from home.

The current forms of menopause natural remedies are herbal. They can be presented in aromatherapy treatments, creams, ointments, gels, herbal teas, tablets or infused oils. They work well because they mimic the body’s own hormone production of estrogen and can scale back the fluctuation in hormone levels that cause menopause symptoms such as night sweats, low libido, disrupted sleep patterns, intense hot flashes, brain fog and unstable mood to list some. Most herbal formulas include maca root, dong quai, red clover or black cohosh.

As well as these herbs having the ability to mimic female hormones like estrogen, they have their own individual characteristics that are especially beneficial as a menopause natural treatment. For instance, black cohosh has been fantastic in lessening the power and frequency of heavy sweating in the night, hot flashes and genital dryness.

In addition, it seems to work wonders with leveling out a woman’s disposition and lessening mood fluctuations. Maca root is legendary for bringing back a healthy sex drive. Dong quai works really well in combination with black cohosh and fights insomnia too. Furthermore, red clover has been known to reduce night sweats and bolster the cardiovascular system. One more herb that is growing in demand with its helpful benefits as a natural menopause treatment is clary sage. It is known to have a stabilizing effect on hormones and is most frequently used together with geranium. Some mavens tout that clary sage also helps menopausal migranes, upset stomachs, tearfulness, mood swings, water retention, indigestion and sadness.

If you select a menopause natural treatment instead of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), be sure that you are aware of the origin of the herbal remedies. Not all herbs available are comparable in purity, effectiveness or concentration. Take the time to review where the herbs come from when possible, review the warranties and return policies of the manufacturers that provide them and the unbiased opinions of people who have tried them.
