Natural menopause treatment is a hot topic these days.
Store shelves and Web sites are filled with all sorts of herbal and other types
of natural treatments. While natural treatment is certainly possible, many
of the herbal and natural treatments on the market today do not live up to their
claims, and worse, can actually be dangerous.

Much of the reason a natural treatment such as taking
back cohosh for hot flashes may not work is because the herbal remedy industry
is not highly regulated. Some brands of herbal and other natural treatments
may simply not have a high enough concentration of the needed herb. Some may
not use the proper part of the herb. Also, for women with severe symptoms, natural
treatment is likely not to be effective because they need true estrogen replacement
such as is available in Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT).
Pursuing a course of natural treatment is not a bad thing,
though, especially for women who only have mild or moderate symptoms. Still,
a woman should always see her physician before starting any type of
natural treatment on her own. Some of the herbs and herb combinations
found in natural treatments can interact with prescription medications with
dangerous results. A woman should always consult her doctor to be sure that
any natural treatment she's considering is safe for her to use. Also, it's just
a smart thing for a woman experiencing menopause to have a complete physical
examination to be sure that all her symptoms are just that and not something
more serious.
When thinking about starting a natural treatment, it's always
wise to do some research. There are many books on natural treatments
available. There are also many online resources that have wonderful information
on menopause and natural treatments. If a natural treatment has been tried with
little success, don't despair. See a doctor because relief, whether
it's in the form of a natural menopause treatment or a prescribed one, is out
there waiting for you!
