The medical establishment has traditionally approached menopause as a disease, and in that paradigm, offered hormone replacement as a "cure". In reality, menopause is not a disease; it is a natural transitional period that can be coped with using natural techniques.

Bear in mind that estrogen does many things in the body. Medical science only knows that estrogen reduces hot flashes, but does not know what else estrogen can do inside the body. In fact, there are many ways to reduce hot flashes. The Chinese herbal formula Menopause BalanZ can reduce hot flashes in one month without even a breast swelling side effect.

Not too many years following the introduction of menopause hormone replacement drugs, researchers noted alarming increases in the number of older women experiencing heart disease and various types of cancer, including breast cancer and ovarian cancer.

Yes the risks are there for women suffering conditions such as heart disease and for those with a history of breast cancer and quite rightly they should be seeking alternative methods of treatment but what about those who have a clean bill of health; should they completely dismiss HRT as a course of treatment.

Menopause hormones give good relief from hot flushes and vaginal dryness. There is no proof that they prevent heart disease or improve one's general health. The benefits of menopause hormones vary with age. Women with early menopause greatly benefit from a short course of menopause hormones. Older women who take menopause hormones have a greater risk of developing breast cancer or tumors.

Sage: This herb is said to have many medicinal properties and is very useful during menopause for the treatment of hot flashes. Sage may be used to reduce excessive sweating and it contains plant estrogens. Sage is particularly helpful in eliminating night sweats, can be used dried or fresh leaves in soups, as a tea, or in your salad.

Ginsen: the root part of ginseng is a renowned remedy for insomnia and such other problems as digestive tract disorders. These are common with menopause and it is easy to handle their acuteness with ginseng. It is also warfarin interactive. Warfarin is an anticoagulant.

Endometriosis can be reactivated by estrogen replacement unless sufficient progesterone is taken to balance the estrogen therapy. Women with a past history of endometriosis should take low-dose progesterone tablet continually along with estrogen. If a woman has no past history of endometriosis, she can take estrogen by itself in the form of estrogen tablets, patches, or injections.
