The average age of the menopause is 51 and it happens when the ovaries make less oestrogen. Women experience different levels of menopausal symptoms the lucky ones adapt quickly and are able to successfully manage their symptoms, but one in four women suffers badly with often debilitating symptoms. These typically include hot flushes, night sweats, headaches, tiredness, palpitations, irritability, sleep problems, depression, anxiety, aches and loss of sex drive.

Some medical experts claim that HRT (hormone replacement therapy) is still the obvious remedy; however, there are numerous reasons why women who suffer from menopausal symptoms choose not to use HRT. Some women see the menopause as a natural 'stage' in their lives and others do not believe that the increased risk of osteoporosis or cardiovascular disease is a significant threat to them personally. But for the majority of women, it is the genuine fear of links with potentially life threatening diseases that prevents them from taking HRT.

While hormone replacement therapy can be very effective in alleviating symptoms of menopause, some women would rather try natural remedies without the risks of any side effects.

Most nutritional and herbal therapies such as Simply Natural Menopause Relief, rebalance hormonal levels as much as possible. They are made up of Phytoestrogens which are natural plant chemicals that bind to oestrogen receptor cells in the body and mimic the hormone's effects.

Menopause - Why Go Natural ?

• Many have been concerned by the recent links between long-term use of conventional HRT treatment and certain types of cancer, including breast cancer and more recently ovarian cancer.

• Avoid the many side effects of prescribed HRT, including bloating, weight gain, anxiety and depression, migraine and headaches.
• Prescribed HRT can interfere with many other medicines.

• You can take Simply Natural Herbal "Menopause Relief" alongside conventional HRT.

• You can also take it if experiencing menopausal symptoms while still menstruating (perimenopause), most doctors advise against conventional HRT at this stage.

• The menopause is a natural event in a woman's life. Pharmaceutical companies however like to present the menopause as if were a disease. They would like to encourage women to take their prescribed HRT for many years ensuring themselves large profits ! Many women when presented with the facts will feel that this is not the right path.

Simply Natural "Menopause Relief" Ingredients

Soy Bean/ Soy Isoflavines
soy products can relieve menopausal symptoms, such as night sweats and hot flushes so are used as a natural alternative to hormone replacement therapy. Soy has received attention as an alternative to conventional hormone replacement therapy (HRT) largely because it is a unique dietary source of isoflavones. Isoflavones are considered to be selective estrogen receptor modulators. The eostrogen-like effects of isoflavones are reported to reduce the frequency of hot flushes.

Red Clover extract
Studies have shown that isoflavones found in red clover help to naturally re-balance hormones and can therefore help the body to stay healthy during and after the menopause.

Black Cohosh
This is a member of the Buttercup family, originally used by the Native American Indians (who gave it the name ‘squaw root’) for its effect on ‘normalising’ the female hormones. In modern phytotherapy, Black Cohosh is used for problems associated with the menopause. It is said to bring relief from hot flushes and other menopausal symptoms.

Don Quai Extract
Dong Quai, also known as Anjelica, is an aromatic herb that grows in China, Korea, and Japan. It is widely used in Chinese traditional medicine to treat gynecological ailments, fatigue, mild anemia and high blood pressure.
Don Quai is combined almost all the time other herbs in menopausal complaints. The aim in mind is that the herb acts as uterine tonifier or to aid women utlise her existing oestrogen more efficiently. The herb seems to work much more effectively when combined with other herbs for menopausal symptoms such as hot flushes.
How Dong Quai works is that the herb contains plant oestrogens (known as phytoestrogens) which may have the ability to bind to oestrogen receptors in human cells. This can potentially restore the hormone (oestrogen) balance in women. For example hot flushes can be prevented by compensating for the decline in oestrogen levels that occur after menopause.
The effectiveness of Dong Quai is because it has compounds called coumarins. This has the ability of dilating blood vessels, in turn increases blood flow to the uterus. Coumarins possibly are anti-inflammatory and have the ability of reducing muscle spasms. This can act as an explanation as to why Dong Quai reduces the severity of menstrual cramps.

Wild Yam Extract
Wild Yam plants are found across the midwestern and eastern United States, Latin America (especially Mexico), and Asia. Several different species exist, all of which possess similar constituents and properties.
Wild yam extract is often used today as a PMS remedy. It is used to help menopausal symptoms such as hot flushes and cramps, and is occasionally used for intestinal spasms of various kinds.
