Menopause Help

Menopause help is available to women who seek immediate relief in the form of prescribed medications during menopause. These drugs are associated with side effects, but there are some herbal remedies which are free from side effects. There are various plants like dong quai, licorice root, chasteberry and black cohosh which help positively. Dong quai reduces the occurrence of hot flashes and relieves mental stress. Chasteberry affects the pituitary gland and regulates hot flashes and dizziness. Black cohosh helps in relieving depression, vaginal atrophy and hot flashes. The magical motherwort diminishes the rate of recurrence and severity of hot flashes. It also mitigates insomnia and stress. Essential oils like that of basil and thyme may relieve hot flashes if inhaled or massaged with.

Dietary changes like increasing consumption of vitamin B and C, fresh fruits, yoghurt and avoiding spicy food, coffee and alcohol help in regulation of hot flashes. A regular exercising regime will keep your body fit and stress-free. Meditation and Yoga postures like Kapalbhati, Pada Hasasana, Trikonasana and warrior pose are extremely helpful.

Homeopathic treatments include Lachesis (taken for nightflashes), sepia (for weakness, nausea and exhaustion), Pulsatilla (for chilly aftereffects of flashes), Valerina (for extreme sweating and insomnia) and belladonna (for flashes and palpitations).

Menopause help can be found on many websites, both general medical sites and specific sites about menopause.
