Herbal treatments and other natural remedies for menopause are suitable for most women because they can be helpful for a number of related health problems, not just hot flashes or other early menopause symptoms – and if one approach is contraindicated for some reason, there are still benefits to be obtained from others.
This approach is particularly useful if for some reason – either because of contraindications or because of intolerance – your doctor will not prescribe pharmaceutical hormone replacement therapy or other drug based hot flash or menopause treatments. In other cases, a woman may find she feels worse for taking HRT, and her doctor may respond by changing the prescription to another kind. However, sometimes these too may continue to cause a woman to feel unwell. In such circumstances, herbal hormone treatments and natural remedies for menopause are well worth trying.
It also sometimes happens that for some medical reason a doctor feels that conventional HRT is contraindicated after a woman has been on it for some time. If hormone therapy is withdrawn at short notice, a woman can experience a great deal of discomfort. Herbal or other natural remedies for menopause at a time like this can be a welcome rescue.
