Menopause natural remedies and help with hot flashes and night sweats.
I mean, what in the world helps stop or helps make life more comfortable? What herbs can be gotten and where? I don’t trust anything a doctor might prescribe. Trust me, I have seen several (male and female) and since they haven’t gone there themselves, they tend to dismiss it as a lack-luster cold. Help, please, somebody.
I took Yasmin for 3 years 18-21 and have now been off of it for 1 full year. I have horrible acne, increased facial hair growth, and weight gain. I have been tested for PCOS….doc says I don’t have it. But acne is not something that runs in my family. Did anyone else have this problem? What are opinions on Yasmin 28 and BC in general? What herbs can I take to make my hormones balance themselves out. How do they work?
I read threw other questions an got a list of herbs to try, Will or if this balances it out will i have to continue to take these to keep it right or???????? Im so worried an so stressed.. I have no kind of insurance an cant afford it.. Any suggestions?
I have been consuming peppermint tea for a few months, and recently I have been consuming 30 grams of peppermint tea per day for a few fortnights, and I have noticed feminizing affects (both physical and mental). Yet I heard that conjugated hormonal therapy only deteriorates your health. So am I a ‘lucky one’ or something?
I am interested in what transsexuals with experience have to say about this.
(I have also recently been eating more fruit, no bread, and avoiding foods high in fat).
Another question: conjugated hormones are plant ‘hormones’ from herbs, correct?
Well isn’t it obvious Leah? I’m transsexual, just like you, I’m just in hiding, but very soon (hopefully!) I’ll inform my parents.
And thanks for supplying me with an answer.
Is it safe to combine hrt(estrace and progeston) prescribed by my doctor with an over the counter combination vitamin with menopause herbs that contain black kohosh and red clover. I have been on the hrt therapy with my MD for approx 2 weeks with very little change in my symptoms and thought I would ad this vitaman/herb combo with it.
I have researched the internet and am getting conflicting answers. Some say ok and others say no way.
Has anyone every done this or know if it is safe?
Does anyone have any naturopathic experience regarding known herbs in the field that can (assist) as birth control since at 47 I am still not interested in getting a hysterectomy or my tubes tied or any variation thereof, so responses regarding orthodox opinions need not respond. I am not expecting a high percentage guarantee on the herbal possibilites, but my understanding is there are a handful of known herbs used by other countries for centuries, though all work differently, have the same job of ultimately lowering the odds of pregnancy. Does anyone know a website(s) or know someone or can put me in touch with the information or person(s) or a reputable forum. I don’t smoke. I am healthy. I am not in perimenopause. I have regular 21-24 day cycles/periods. If you know of any of these herbs, please tell me what they are and how or what there function is. I heard some can keep the unterus acidic (or is it alkaline?) so the fertilized egg has a (more) difficult time implanting ? thx
I’m wanting to avoid going to a dr. as much as I can so I’m wanting to know any kind of herbs that are good for balancing hormones for a woman. And are Saw Palmetto, and Black Cohosh good for it? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

I’ve been having all kinds of mood swings, I’ve been a little irritable, excess facial and body hair, and very irregular periods *maybe 4 periods a year* so of course I know that there’s somethin’ going on (b/c I’m only 20 years old).
I heard that acne can be caused by hormonal imbalance and I think it makes sense. I’ve had 2 pregnancies, during wich my skin cleared, I think it was because of hormonal changes during pregnancy. I’ve tried many products like proactive, but they only work for a short period of time, and then stop working. I want to give herbs a chance. If you have any suggestions I’ll be very thankful to know them.
Thank you so much for the answers given to me. But it seems like I wasn’t understood. What I need to know is what herbs taken in form of tea can help with hormonal imbalance. Applying things on my face only deals with the outside not the inside.
you asked this:
Do menopausal symptoms ever go away?
Symptoms such as hot flashes, will I have these for the rest of my life?
I answered you & chose my reply as best answer but you’d asked what herbs I’m using for these symptoms. But the way this answer place is, I couldnt find any other way to reply except this way, so hoefully you’ll read this.
The herbs I use are these:
black cohosh (root), 540mg, 1 capsule 3 times a day.
dong quai (root), 565mg., 2 capsules 3 times a day.
Unfortunately, it’s been my experience if you try to get these strengths at the big food stores that don’t specialize in organics & herbal supplements, the strengths are very low- 40mg only and not effective because of this. There are lots of places that sell these (& others) like Wild Oats Market (here in Denver) & Vitamin Cottage & others. The website for this brand I use "Natures Way" has a list of stores at:
http://naturesway.com/
1-800-9NATURE
–takes 7-30 days for herbs 2 b effective
what is the correct dosage ? anyone have any experience with these herbs? the blue is 500 mg and the black is 540mg.
no other comments, thank you for your help !
I am going through the menopause and am suffering from dry mouth.
Has anyone else experienced this as a menopause symptom? and are there any supplements, herbs etc that relieve the symptoms. Does it go away eventually?. I’ve had dry mouth for 2 years now.
hot flashes as well as other things. Just wondering if any one is familiar and if they think it does what it claims.
Question: You claim there are questionable herbs, what are they and why are they questionable? Thanks
I had chemo in 2004 and was told it pushed me through menopause. I no longer have periods, but have started terrible times when my body startes to tingle, gets real hot inside, then sweats profusely, then cold with chills. Is this menapause or hot flashes. I can not live wit h this! any herbs or help????????
My mom turns 50 this year. She is waking up at night with hot flashes….textbook she calls them. Soaking her nightgown with set…getting feverish….then it comes down ith chills and she is freezing. They make her get headaches and nausea from another planet! She has no prescription drug coverage, and I told her that hormone replacement therapy wasn’t a great option anyway because her mom had breast cancer….and over time HRT can lead/may cause cancer in women. Are there any over the counter herbs or products she could try? She is a great mother and an even better grandma to my son. We have another grandbaby on the way and she is getting depressed because it is really hindering her life. She is embarrassed and out of options. THANK YOU!
