Is Natural Menopause Relief Even Possible?Author : Randy Hough
 
My mother was a great lady, but she suffered quite a bit from the symptoms of menopause. It's too bad that the world of medicine at that time was far, far away from anything resembling natural menopause relief! Prescriptions, surgery, and then more prescriptions to counter the first one with all its side effects: this was the order of the day. Finally, she just had a hysterectomy to try and solve her "problem" once and for all. Of course, it didn't really solve the "problem," and eventually she just sort of gave up and quit trying. As a child, I had no idea what was going on, I just observed a little from my limited perspective. But I was keenly aware that something was not right because she just had so little ability to manage all these symptoms. As I later learned, much of her suffering (and ours as well, as a consequence), could have been entirely avoided, or at least greatly reduced, if only we knew how! I don't think it is an idealistic view of the romantic past to believe that women understood better how to manage menopause far better than modern medicine has done. Just imagine how many remedies and cures were lost during time periods such as the Great Inquisition or the witch trials. Who knows how many wonderful women were killed for being in tune with nature and the cures she offers? Fortunately, there has been a great renaissance of learning regarding natural cures. Even the huge pharmaceutical companies respect the wisdom of the shaman, at least if it looks profitable! The average health food store today is chock-full of all kinds of interesting and useful products to help us improve from almost any imaginable ailment. What are some of the symptoms of menopause that can be helped by a natural remedy?
One of the best things about finding natural menopause relief is that there are usually no side effects, and if so, they are minimal. This is remarkable, considering how dramatic some of the side effects are from strong prescription drugs: sometimes it is worse than the original symptom! What are some of the natural remedies available today?
