Answer 1

If you are concerned about taking HRT then this article may be of some help to you.

   Use a step ladder approach to your health. Diet: First eat a health diet, limit coffee and alcohol as it can increase hot flashes. Exercise 1/2 hour a day with a walk at min. This helps your well being and increases certain hormones levels. Use vitamins and herbs such as estrogenic like from plants, doug quai, black cohosh, licorice, red clover or wild yam extracts. Any one of them can help, but do not use all at once or combine them. It is a waste of resouces. You can try one and see if it helps and switch to another one if it doesn\'t. You can add chaste tree berry or vitex, which is the only documented herb that shows in your blood life to increase progesterone. You can blend vitamins and herb\'s together, but be sure not to use more than one phyto-estrogen. When symptoms change or this is not effective enough, begin using a natural progesterone cream (aka wise women essentials a bio indentical cream) which will help the whole body and systems.  If you are like me then you will be thinking \'I don\'t have the time, ability, resources to round up all these wonderfull natural ingredients. Well you could find the answer in Menozac.

Black cohosh  ....L. Cimifuga racemosa...has oestrogenic properties and normalises the female reproductive system.......it is an excellent herb.

Chaste tree.....L. Vitex agnus-castus      is also an excellent herb, a tonic for the reproductive system....it regulates hormones.

I used sage tea as it  has natural oestrogenic properties too.

Answer 3

Menopause Balance Complex has worked really well for a friend of mine.  It contains Black Cohosh, Soy Isoflavones and Flaxseed.  Also contains a proprietary phytoestrogen blend of dong quai, red clover, and licorice.  Contains no artificial colors, flavors, or synthetic preservatives.

Answer 4

My Doctor recommended Black Cohosh and Soy supplements.  They worked well, but they take a little time to settle things down.
