Menopause is a natural part of aging, but its symptoms can vary widely among women. Some women are lucky and only have mild symptoms while others have their world turned upside down. The drastic drop in estrogen levels is the primary cause of these symptoms, which can begin during perimenopause in our forties (8 to 10 years before menopause) and continue post-menopause in our sixties and beyond.
Common symptoms include hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, mood changes, and dry skin, eyes, and mouth, thinning hair and brittle nails. Others may experience high cholesterol, tinnitus, joint aches, muscle cramps, cold flushes, racing heart, burning tongue syndrome, and itchy skin.
While Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is an option, not all women can tolerate it. Many turn to natural remedies, similar to those used by our grandmothers. Here are nature's most powerful ingredients that work synergistically to alleviate these symptoms and help you feel like yourself again.
