Do natural menopause treatments really work?

To answer that question you only have to look at the type of natural treatments on offer and what they contain.  Because the menopause is caused, essentially, by a hormone imbalance then it makes sense that to help reduce the symptoms that this balance is restored.  It was found that many plants and herbs contain compounds of chemicals that mimic that of women’s estrogen levels.  It therefore makes sense that these plants and herbs can be used a natural menopause treatments in order to restore the hormonal balance.There are lots of foods that can help as they contain the same natural treatments as the herbs do, this means that eating soybean products such as tofu and roasted soy nuts.  This means that eating foods rich in soy can help keep the symptoms of menopause under control.  Many women fear the menopause for hot flashes but, in Asian cultures, many women have never experienced hot flashes when it comes to the menopause due to their diet being so rich in soy products.  This also shows that, in addition to the herbs, that having and maintaining a healthy diet can also help keep menopause under control and also reaffirms that natural menopause treatments, when you look at it logically, is a far better alternative than conventional medicine.Another natural menopause treatments is licorice which contains the same chemical compounds that would be found in a woman’s body, in terms of estrogen, and so this is one of the herbs that is recommended as natural menopause treatments.  Many of the herbs that are used as natural menopause treatments are Chinese in origin.  Chinese medicine has long believed in the medicinal power of using herbs compared to traditional medicine in helping treat and restore the body, they also understood that the body is based on balance and that is the whole reason behind treatment for menopause, it is essentially a balancing act.Did you know that the white peel on the outer skin of a peeled orange can help relieve hot flashes due to their chemical properties?  This also applies to bell peppers and vegetables in terms of getting more vitamin C in your diet which can help and shows again that having a healthy diet is just as important as taking herbs when it comes to natural menopause treatments and it does work as, little by little, it helps restore the body’s natural balance which means that the symptoms of menopause are more manageable and cause less aggravation. Essentially then the main natural menopause treatments is to take more care of your body and be more healthy, when you combine that with other natural menopause treatments, such as herbs, it is easy to see why women are preferring natural menopause treatments over HRT and this is because it is easier and cheaper to do with less side effects also.  It also looks better if you take the time to be healthier in yourself than if you just went for the regular HRT treatment.
