Menopause trying to find an herb to help with hormones but more importantly my sex drive can anyone help ?


Alyce

Is there an herb or prescription for women to help with their sex drive. I'm not experiencing to much of the hot flashes, but do have mood swings. Any suggestions besides o/c Estrovan I think it is.

One of my cousin was facing the same problem as like of yours, including joint pains, she has made some changes in her diet and started taking flax seeds in her diet, which are rich in Omega 3 as well reduces all the worries related to menopause. Along with this she has started taking Xenesis EP which can solve your problem too.

Uh, this isn't spam but I found this:http://www. hersolution. com/index. html#ba…I've been having the same problem, I ended up going off the pill and that helped a bit. We also took, like, a full 6 week break. When we got back to it, it was better than ever!
