Right now, you’re probably obsessed about one thing: menopause remedies. You’re in that stage in your life when nothing, especially not your body, absolutely makes sense. Menopause causes bring with them an unbelievable barrage of emotions and physical symptoms, most of them you’ve never had to deal with in your 40, 45, 50 years. And you just want to put an end to all of them.

You’ve probably seen a trend in all articles relating to menopause: All menopause remedies that have been recommended by experts, doctors, and other women going through the same ordeal fall under three categories: lifestyle changes, alternative and/or natural therapy, and medical treatment to combat the symptoms that menopause cause.

The tough question is: How do you know which menopause remedies to turn to, and for which symptom?
It all depends on the severity of your symptoms, and how long you’ve been suffering from menopause causes, but it’s always highly recommended that you start with the least invasive of menopause remedies.

Doing a lifestyle check and adopting some changes may be the most basic, but not necessarily the easiest, option. Some lifestyle changes to consider are: altering your diet to include certain foods rich in phytoestrogens (like soy, tofu) and additional intake of vitamins B,C,D, and E, cutting back on alcohol, caffeine, sugar, and spicy food, drinking plenty of water to ensure constant hydration, establishing an exercise regimen, making time for relaxation, and stress management are all good practices for reducing the effects that menopause cause. These steps are recommended for any symptom, from hot flushes to vaginal dryness.

Alternative, natural medicine or therapy is also among the more popular menopause remedies. Herbal therapy—like the use of herbs such as Black Cohosh, Dong Quai, Agnus Castus, and ginseng—is one of the more popular. Other women also resort to acupuncture (said to “rebalance” fluctuating hormonal levels, the cause of most menopause symptoms), aromatherapy (to induce relaxation), and biofeedback (using the mind or body to improve your health).
Medical treatment can come in the form of prescription drugs (anything from antidepressants or medicine used to regulate blood pressure levels) or the most drastic of all menopause remedies: hormone replacement therapy (HRT). While it is true that HRT is the quickest way to address hormonal imbalance, it also carries with it serious side effects.

It has been reported that HRT may increase a woman’s risk of developing certain kinds of cancer.
These are your options, but here’s one thing you should remember: Menopause is not an illness or a disease. It is a natural—albeit emotionally and physically draining—occurrence in every woman’s life. The chances of you surviving it, whatever menopause remedies you choose, are great.
