In light of the recent news headlines regarding the unwanted side effects of hormone replacement therapy, we see an increasing number of women that are seeking information about natural alternatives to addressing menopause. To help you with understanding all the information available, we have summarized valuable information here regarding herbal and nutritional alternatives to use in the treatment of menopause.

The goal of herbal and nutritional therapy for menopause is to assist with the adjustment to this important natural body change. It is often the case that herbs and nutritional supplements will need to be taken for a few years, but eventually the patient will adjust to her new post-menopausal estrogen levels and will be free of symptoms even when the herbs and whole food supplements are withdrawn.
