Excellent Herbal Alternative To
"Hormone Replacement Therapy"
Menopause is just one of life's many transitions that women face in their late 40's to early 50's. By mid 30's female hormones start a gradual decline that continues relentlessly until the rapid drop-off that occurs during menopause; and nobody knows better than you do what that hormone drop does to your emotional stability, resulting in low libido [low sex drive] and your ability to enjoy your day-to-day life. Most women find that menopause symptoms include numerous hormonal changes which result in hot flashes, night sweats, irritability, painful Intercourse due to vaginal dryness, and mood swings. Other menopause symptoms include fatigue, insomnia, depression, difficulty concentrating, panic attacks, female anxiety, crying, physical and emotional tension, low blood sugar, low sex drive [low libido], skin flare-ups, headaches, migraines; and genital herpes outbreaks. These symptoms are due to a decrease in the body's hormone levels. Medically prescribed synthetic hormone replacement therapy may lead to serious side effects.
The root cause of hot flashes is actually cellular stress, which is the factor that disrupts hormone balance. Black Cohosh [white buttercup] may provide tremendous relief from uncomfortable female symptoms, including hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal atrophy, vaginal dryness, depression, low sex drive [low libido], headaches, dizziness, insomnia, anxiety, and many other symptoms that frequently accompany the menstrual cycle and peri-menopause. Black Cohosh contains constituents that actually "mimic" estrogen in the hormonal pathways of the body. Black Cohosh builds up in the vaginal lining and has traditionally been used as a popular Native American folk remedy for female ailments, including painful intercourse due to vaginal dryness, menstrual cramps, endometriosis, and infertility. It is also useful for increasing the production of progesterone in balance with estrogen levels established in the first half of the menstrual cycle. Black cohosh is an excellent herb that is used to regulate menstrual flow, menstrual cramps, PMS, childbirth. Black cohosh has the same effects on the female system as synthetic estrogen, without the side effects. Women who take synthetic estrogen have been able to switch to black cohosh with no withdrawal symptoms or side effects. And best of all, black cohosh has no cancer causing agents like synthetic estrogen. Also improves blood circulation and arthritis. German scientists have studied Black Cohosh for 20 years; and consequently, German women are hardly ever prescribed synthetic hormones.
Studies reveal numerous natural alternatives to synthetic hormone replacement therapy. One of the most popular alternatives is Dong Quai. Dong Quai does contain estrogenic substances that may exert some regulating effect on estrogen levels and on estrogenic biological mechanisms. These estrogenic substances stimulate the liver to process and excrete any excess estrogen and get female hormones back into balance again. They seem to enhance estrogenic effects when estrogen levels are too low, and compete when levels are too high. Dong Quai is a powerful herbal supplement that is used to help restore hormone balance. Dong Quai is referred to in Chinese medicine as the "Female Ginseng", although it is not related to Ginseng. It is naturally rich in vitamins, minerals and coumarins, which have been shown to have vasodilatory and antispasmodic properties that help greatly to relieve menstrual cramps as well as PMS symptoms; nourishe female organs; and fight genital herpes outbreaks. Dong Quai has been tested clinically to overcome Vitamin E deficiency symptoms. It is used to calm the nerves, as well as for all menstrual disorders. Dong Quai is also used to fight certain microorganisms, including the Candida albicans fungus, which is the primary causative agent in vaginal yeast infections, as well as genital herpes outbreaks.
Vitex [Chasteberry] is used to treat PMS and menopause symptoms. It is specifically used to assist the body to secrete progesterone. Low progesterone levels during childbearing years produce the following PMS symptoms: Fibroid Tumors, Ovarian Cysts, Frequent Periods, Heavy Bleeding During Periods, Lack Of Ovulation, Missed Periods, Headaches, Acne, Breast Tenderness, Backache, Bloating, Fatigue, Cravings For Sweets, Feelings Of Anxiety, Irritability, Depression, Mood Swings, Tearfulness, Libido Imbalance [Sex Drive Too High Or Too Low], Difficulty Concentrating, and Difficulty Handling Stress. Vitex is used to normalize the reproductive system.
Wild Yam contains the plant hormone diosgenin, which nourishes female organs and has a balancing effect upon the body’s hormones similar to the effects of DHEA and progesterone. Wild yam can help to overcome the negative effects of declining levels of DHEA and progesterone. Natural plant hormones such as diosgenin are safer to take long term than are synthetic or animal forms of hormones.
