Natural hormone replacement therapy….discover the options.

Menopause is a natural process that occurs in every woman's body as she reaches her late 40's through to mid 50's. Women have reported experiencing many different symptoms of which some include:

• insomnia
• decreased sex drive
• moodiness
• hot flashes

To help alleviate some of these symptoms, many women seek out medication treatments or alternative ways to help.

Alternative treatments for menopause are most often used in conjunction with other methods of hormone therapy. These other methods can include prescription medications, or simply a combination of vitamins and minerals. Both forms of therapy can assist in decreasing the side effects of menopause, while also helping women to live their life more normally during the menopause.

Cranberry extract is an herbal supplement often recommended to help relieve the symptoms of menopause. Cranberry has been recognized as an effective remedy for urinary tract and bladder disorders for many years. In addition to these things, cranberry has also been used to help prevent kidney disease, and to help clean toxins from the bloodstream. During menopause, women are generally more prone to all these things, so this makes taking a daily ingestion of cranberry juice or cranberry supplements a wonderful and naturally effective way to relieve some of the symptoms of menopause.

Another common herbal remedy recommended to women to help relieve the symptoms of menopause is Dong Quai. This herbal supplement can cause side effects if taken in excess, but it has been shown to help with a wide variety of female disorders. It is commonly used in Japan to treat menopausal women, but should never be consumed by a pregnant woman, or one who is breast feeding.

Acidophilus is another widely recommended natural supplement that is effective in helping women during menopause. Acidophilus is a natural bacteria that lives in a woman's GI tract, and in her vagina.  This bacterium is very useful in fighting off bad bacteria that causes irritations and infections. This supplement can be taken in the form of a pill, and is also available in powder form, as well as liquid.

There are many other herbal supplements that are recommended to women dealing with the side effects of menopause. Most often, these herbal supplements are used in conjunction with prescribed hormone replacement drugs, but some women chose an all natural method. Any woman wanting to choose the natural path should research all recommended supplements, and know exactly what she is taking. The FDA does not approve many herbal supplements, and some may have adverse side effects.
