Supportive herbs: Menopause may be more difficult in women who have higher levels of stress and depletion of adrenal hormones. While this is a complex issue that requires individualized treatment, I have found that ashwaganda and black cohosh are adaptogenic herbs that may offer relief. You must also be sure you are eating a healthy mediteranean style diet with limited refined sugars & grains and getting good sleep.

Menopause: Wear layered clothing, stay in a cool environment, avoid caffeine and spicy food, follow an exercise routine. Try some herbal remedies, like soy extract, black cohash, evening primrose oil. If nothing works, see a doctor about prescription therapies.

HRT: For women struggling through menopause, hormone replacement can help. Women with no medical problems, recently started menopause can use hrt. Traditional medicine will say only for 2-5 years. Age managment medicine may say longer. There is synthetic and bio-identical hormones to choose from. Do your homework on who you would like to see and what you want to use.
