What
happens during Menopause?
|
As we
approach our mid-thirties,
the gradual decrease in
hormone production is a very
natural process. By the
early to mid forties,
physical symptoms may become
more obvious.
The balancing act between
estrogen and progesterone,
the two primary female
hormones, is essential.
These hormones have several
functions in your body: the
preservation of bones,
emotional balance, memory
and libido to name a few.
With the decrease in
estrogen and progesterone
production during menopause,
your hormones can become
unbalanced and symptoms
begin to appear. With a
daily regimen of Menopause
Complex to maintain hormonal
balance as you age, you may
not even feel as though you
are going through menopause!
How do I deal with my
Menopausal symptoms?
Many women address
menopausal symptoms by
taking HRT - synthetic
hormone replacement therapy.
Unfortunately, this ignores
the fact that menopause is
not a disease requiring
ongoing drug treatment; it
is a natural transition.
Also, studies show that
there can be significant
health risks involved with
HRT. That's why more and
more women turn to herbs or
products such as Menopause
Complex as a safer, more
natural alternative.
Why should I choose herbs
for hormonal health?
First, herbs are far safer
than isolated chemicals when
used appropriately for
benign disorders. Second,
people have been using herbs
for centuries. We therefore
have centuries worth of
information on the uses,
effects and
contraindications. We know
what herbs can do and we
know what their long-term
effects are. And finally,
herbs work. Although they
may take a little longer,
they are generally more
effective and safer than
isolated drugs for chronic
benign symptoms like those
of menopause. |
