Menopause Symptoms

Natural Menopause

According to menopause symptom information from many trusted sources, over 60 million women are in menopause or approaching menopause, and live with menopause symptoms everyday, needlessly. Although the complete cause of symptoms such as hot flashes and night sweats is still unknown, it is agreed that menopause is a natural and normal transition as women move ahead of their child bearing years.

The symptoms of menopause are not signs of illness but simply signs of hormone imbalance. The classic symptoms of menopause such as hot flashes, night sweats and insomnia are a normal part of the menopause transition; symptoms are generally transient and experienced by 3 out of 4 women at some time during their life.

Many women chose to 'go natural' and avoid the harmful side effects of hormone replacement therapy (HRT)

HRT has been proven to:

• Increase risks for breast cancer, heart attack, blood clots and stroke
• Increases incontinence and uterine prolapse, and
• Does not protect against Alzheimer's or heart disease
