Finding Menopause Relief the Natural Way

Finding Menopause Relief the Natural Way

Hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, headaches, overbearing joint pain, mood swings, heart palpitations, and exhaustion are all things that menopausal women experience on a daily basis. It can add up to too much for a woman to deal with in the end. It is important to remember, though, that you do not have to undergo the dangers of hormone replacement therapy just to find relief for your serious symptoms. There are a number of great solutions that you can find around the corner at your local health food store that have few, if any, side effects, but offer great relief for the symptoms you have to fight with each day.

One of the major symptoms women have to fight with on a regular basis is the hot flash. Hot flashes are most typically reported as a hot flushing feeling throughout the body. A hot flash can make a woman who is standing outdoors in sixty degree weather feel as if she is experiencing eighty degree weather. Even if everyone else in your household is cold, you may feel like you have to open all of the windows or turn the air conditioner on. At the very next moment, though, you may be shivering or cold, just as occurs when you have a fever. Sometimes hot flashes can be more than just an overwhelming feeling of heat. For many women they include dizziness. For others, heart palpitations occur with hot flashes. Still others have the sensation that their skin is crawling, while some women feel faint when a hot flash occurs. To handle this problem naturally, try increasing your intake of soy products. You could try adding soy milk to your morning routine. You might also start eating soybeans. Tofu, miso, and tempeh are also great sources of soy. You should start to notice relief about a week after you introduce soy products to your diet.

Black Cohos has also proven very helpful to hot flashes. It also seems to relive other menopausal symptoms including anxiety, heart palpitations, and headaches. It is recommended that you take twenty to sixty milligrams of this herb each day to notice a difference in your symptoms. Progesterone cream can help with some of these symptoms as well. Remember that you will need natural progesterone cream, but most drug stores carry it without a prescription. Simply rub the recommended amount onto your skin, and you should experience relief within a few hours. Recent studies have shown that Vitamin E can help with night sweats and hot flashes. Take between 400 and 800 International Units each day to notice the level of relief you need.

Gabapentin, relatively new on the market as a menopause relief tool, has been proven to provide some level of relief. It was developed for migraine headaches, but it has been shown to be safe for relief from your symptoms. Effexor, another popular prescription drug, can also offer you some measure of relief from your symptoms. Remember to exercise for thirty minutes each day, and try avoiding menopause problem foods like caffeine, spicy foods, and alcohol. If natural products don't work, you might talk to your gynecologist about hormone replacement therapy. Despite its side effects, it does seem to provide relief to most women.
