 MENOPAUSE - Natural, Herbal Remedies for Menopausal Symtoms

One of the most dreaded symptoms of the menopause is the hot flush or flash. This is where your face flushes, and may even go a deep shade of red, you break out into a drenching sweat and then feel all cold and clammy. It can be uncomfortable and embarrassing and can last for months or even years in some cases.

Your doctors treatment for this is usually Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) which relieves the hot flushes by topping up oestrogen levels. However there are side effects to this such as weight gain and long-term use is linked with a possible increased risk of breast cancer, stroke and heart disease, as some studies have shown. These risks have encouraged many women to look for alternative treatments such as natural remedies to alleviate their discomfort.
