What herbal medication do you recommend for the menopause?


Francine

Please ONLY post a reply if you are experiencing the menopause or have been through it. Mostly I am coping but am finding the "sweats" really difficult. I have an appointment to see my GP about the problem on Wednesday.

I am afraid no safe herbal preparations can be used. Phyto-oestrogens ( plant oestrogens ) are sometimes suggested, but there is no long term safety data on their use. The commonest and most effective symptom management is still conventional HRT. It's risks are real, but often exaggerated. Short term use is often the only successful option.
