There are many prescription drugs available to treat all kinds of menopause symptoms, but I’m a firm believer in natural remedies.
The choice is up to you, but if you want to join me in working with natural remedies, here are a few ideas for you to try.
1. Yoga works for many women. Yoga may not be for every woman but it’s a popular choice. Join a class or use a video. Gather a few of your women friends and practice yoga in your own home. You could even bring in a yoga teacher to design a home based yoga program that addresses menopause symptoms.
2. Use acupuncture. Find a practitioner who has experience treating women going through the middle age transition. Acupuncture is very effective. Often herbal remedies are combined with the treatments.
3. Hot flashes are often the worst menopausal symptom. The simplest natural remedy you can use is deep breathing. Slow breaths can reduce the severity of the hot flashes and will relax you. For many women drinking a hot cup of herbal tea helps ease hot flashes.
4. Making dietary changes, limiting alcohol consumption, and exercising are all natural ways to relieve menopause symptoms. In general, clean up your diet limiting sugar, caffeine and processed foods. Instead choose fresh fruits, vegetables, healthy fats and lean proteins.
While you don’t have an option about going through menopause, you CAN decrease the side effects and symptoms naturally.
Start with these four basic ideas and see what works for you!
