Natural Herbs That Treat Menopausal Symptoms

 "Rock and menopause do not mix. It is not good, it sucks and every day I fight it to the death, or, at the very least, not let it take me over." ~ Stevie Nicks


Natural Menopause Treatment                                                   

Today it seems as though every time we turn on the television, we hear yet another report about a drug that was approved for widespread use and is now causing major health problems for many thousands of people. What are we suppose to do, suffer on with endless menopausal symptoms that the truth as yet to be told by mainstream will last till we die?

Yes, we need HRT medicines, but natural one's but we most assuredly do not need recalls and side effects and all the problems associated with so many modern-day medications.

In response to this growing list of recalled medications, many people are turning to herbal remedies for their ailments. Actually, herbal remedies are a very good choice. There are few if any side effects associated with the natural herbal medicines. Side effects are most often associated with the synthetic versions of the natural remedies.


There are very rarely any side effects associated with natural remedies. You almost always need a prescription from a doctor to get one of those synthetic versions of natural remedies.


For the relief of the symptoms of menopause, there are a great many different choices available in herbal medicines. There are herbs that provide natural oestrogen replacement without the added risk of breast cancer, like the synthetic oestrogen replacement therapies produce.

There are a variety of herbs that will reduce the frequency and the severity of such menopausal symptoms as night sweats and hot flushes. There are also a great many herbal supplements that help to calm the nerves and reduce the severity of the mood swings associated with menopause.

Herbs are used to treat menopause because they are believed to help regulate oestrogen levels, as well as to reduce the severity of common symptoms of menopause, including hot flashes.

There are two types of herbs that are used in the treatment and management of the menopause symptoms: estrogenic herbs (those containing oestrogen chemical structures) and non-estrogenic herbs (those that don’t contain oestrogen). Both are used to alleviate menopause symptoms and improve overall health. 

 

The Benefits of Herbs

The following herbs are reported to have a variety of benefits for alleviating menopause symptoms:

• Black cohosh: is an estrogenic herb that aids cramps, congestion and hot flushes
• Wild yam: a medicinal herb containing anti-inflammatory properties that reduces the risk of menopausal arthritis
• Chaste tree: this herb helps to balance hormones, and can help ward off depression
• Dong quai: its purported healing properties include reducing oestrogen deficiency biloba: decreases fatigue and depression and improves memory
• Sage: containing plant oestrogens, sage can help reduce night sweats and hot flashes

Although these helps will help they lose their effectiveness over long term use, due to the fact as you lose your hormones, you lose your hormone blood receptors also, that pick up your sexual hormones. You can eat as much soy beans, soy milk etc., but there'll be no be oestrogen converting going on because you won't have blood receptors being made. So use herbs as long as they are effective by reducing or resolving your hormonal symptoms. When those herbs fail, you will need to look for other natural herbs or other plant base solutions like bio identical hormones.

Menopause is said to be a natural part of the human experience for women, but modern M.D holistic doctors are now telling us a different story and I believe their version of what the menopause means healthwise for everyone. Forever, we've always been told that there wasn't any way around it, so we all had to go through it. The main objective is to find ways to restore natural hormones, not just getting get through menopause because for most of us that means long term health consequences to live with, and doing so without doing our bodies any additional harm as we try to treat the symptoms.

Somehow we need to obtain natural hormones without doing our bodies any additional harm as we try to treat the symptoms.

World-wide Our Right To Choose Freedom of Choice For Natural Health, Food, Vitamins, Herbs, Vitamins and Bioidentical Hormones is under Treat!


Please Note: There is no prescription required for the natural remedy itself but that is changing with the Agenda of Banning Our Natural Herbs and Vitamins from our health shops. Here in Europe there's a drive for pharmaceuticals to gain more control over our health and that's another great injustice to natural health as in case of bioidentical hormones not available n natural form in mainstream medicine. Natural herbs & vitamins are classed as food, but there's a push to ban and name as Toxins.


USA are facing the same fight but they have a fabulous doctor standing up for our Rights to choose Natural Health. For more information research Dr Rima and the organisations behind this Natural Health BAN and take over bid

The Wiley Protocol Bioidentical Restoration HRT

" The only reason I would take up jogging is so that I could hear heavy breathing again."  ~  Erma Bombeck

The Wiley protocol is a multi phasic rhythmic dosing schedule for bioidentical hormones to be given to women in a biomimetic way, to mimic biology, no one has ever done this before. We introduce Transdermal oestrogen, progesterone, in a way that mimics a normal cycle a young woman had at twenty. Then we justify the dosing by using serum blood levels on day 12 & 21, to see if indeed she is the 20-year old reference range. It's important because young women, the template for young women have no heart disease, diabetes, cancer, osteoporosis, so when we put women back, we actually restore their hormones – we just don't treat their symptoms, and we know these young women are healthier in every way.


The delivery system is simply, we use three ml syringes, colour coded, purple for progesterone, green for oestrogen, and the women that way don't puck up the wrong syringes in the night when they are putting on their hormones and take the wrong thing.


One of the ways the Federal Government intends to get rid of bioidentical hormones is because they are prescribed so many ways, made so many ways. We've standardised the method, material, prices, the packaging, and dose modification so they can be studied. You can go to our website www.thewileyprotocol.com, and you will find pharmacies, over 350 physicians prescribing and all the information you need to get started. 

~ TS Wiley, CEO of The Wiley Protocol, talking about hormone replacement therapy for women. You can hear T.S Wiley on You Tube.


Relief Is In The Rhythm, newsletter 31st December, Issue 2034 stated: "We believe the future of hormone therapy is not "replacement" but Biomimetic Restoration with standardized bioidentical compounded FDA approved substances, we are grateful our WP pharmacies in this endeavor. The great thing about Wiley Systems standardization is the dedication to accurate, efficacious compounded products that are reproducible at all the Wiley Pharmacies."




There's A Mega Difference Between Static HRT and Biomimetic Dosing

How the Wiley Protocol differs from other types of hormonal treatment, conventional HRT and other bioidentical treatments. Most just offer small minimal hormone doses, that really does not replace any real amount of missing or declining hormones therefore cannot restore women to their natural hormonal functioning. Whereas Biomimetic which is used in the Wiley Protocol, a natural rhythmic dosing that restores women's hormones to normal levels and optimal health. It is this Biomimetic method that's missing from all other bioidentical and synthetic hormone replacement therapies.

Bioidentical HRT- A Menopause Cure?

"Those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything."
  George Bernard Shaw 

Oprah told the world that she was on Bioidentical Hormones when she shared her experience in her O magazine Jan. 15, 2009 edition. Apparently the menopause had caught her "off guard" and that she's now taking bioidentical hormones that have made a big improvement in how she feels.

Oprah who turns 56 on the 29th of January this month, wrote that she felt "out of kilter" and had "issues" for two years that she suspected were hormonal. Finally acting upon a friend's recommendation to see a doctor who specializes in hormones, she discovered that her "hormonal tank was empty.' Oprah walked away with a prescription for bioidentical oestrogen. They clearly worked because she goes on to say, "After one day on bioidentical oestrogen "I felt the veil lift". "After three days, the sky was bluer, my brain was no longer fuzzy, my memory was sharper. I was literally singing and had a skip in my step." 

Personally, I know all too well, what she meant when she said, "I was literally singing and had a skip in my step."   BHRT not only reversed all my menopause symptoms, but also gave me back my life and body. I have literally escaped the menopause.  Based upon my experience With the Wiley Protocol, and the thousands of other women who are taking BHRT, I know bioidenticals could well be the cure for the menopause.

I have since read a number of times on the net that Oprah suffered a backlash from the medical profession and she has since declared that she isn't recommending bioidentical hormones for every menopausal woman. Instead, she urges women to "take charge of your health" and says it's time to "start the conversation" about menopause and bioidentical hormones

You can pop along and talk about menopausal symptoms with any mainstream doctor and more than likely, you'll be told that there's nothing you can do but accept old age is catching up on you. Your doctor probably won't even mention that your hormones are dwindling and therefore causing the ageing process to free fall, without any holistic resistance from you.


Mainstream medicine has an answer for everything but not many holistic solutions available on prescription for anti ageing; for instance they have worked out the level of hormones for every age, so when you are given blood tests to determine your hormones levels, you'll be told, your tests results were normal for the menopause and your 'age' be it aged 50, 55, 64, 70 or 100-years old.


Well how helpful is that kind of advice? You're emotionally and physically overwhelmed by numerous menopausal symptoms, only to be told, it's your age that has made your body anything but normal.


So not true, it's the pure lack of hormonal support withdrawing from your body! Your memory loss, aches and pains are not aged related but hormonally induced.


It has been said by many doctors that one-hundred years ago we died between the ages of 40-45, before the menopause, but with the help of modern medicine, antibiotics, and surgery we are going to live longer. That is not a great prospect, having to live another 45-50 years without vital hormones.  


Which Woman Would You Like Too Aspire too?


"I've just turned 45 and I am going to the docs next week to see if he can shed some light on why my health has suddenly took a turn for the worse. There's a whole host of symptoms to deal with. Surely one can't transform from being healthy to feeling crap in only a matter of months?" Kazbe


"I love the results I'm getting on the protocol. I'm feel good again, my debilitating headaches are GONE!!!!  My libido is back. I can't live without my Wiley Protocol hormones."  ~ Michelle - A Wiley Protocol Patient

"I used to be so happy for no particular reason. I was fun to be around and extremely ambitious. I had a career that I loved, which I had to give up, because I can't think straight, can't remember 'anything' about the previous day. I have a note pad permanently in my hands, writing memos to myself. I'm grumpy, moody and deadly if crossed. I have no energy. I'm tired all the time and can't sleep more than four hours nightly. I want to sleep on my own and my husband can't understand why. I have all the menopause symptoms you can list.  I can't muster any excitement for anything that would be worth doing. I've always been good with my diet and maintaining my weight, now I just look at food and I gain weight. Most days, I think how easy it would be to just die.  My life seems over. I don't want to go out, talk to anyone. I know that am deeply depressed, and my doctor agreed.  He said, "I'm now post menopausal and better get use to it, this is my reality from now on, my body and life has changed forever."  Since entering the menopause, I'm not the same person inside or outwards and if I died, surely no one would miss me, because emotionally everyone lost the kinder, more loving and creative version of me, when my hormones ran out."  ~ Anna

"I got my life back! with zero hormones after a hyst, and 10 years of conventional HRT - I had to come off the them because of a cancer scare. I had absolutely no energy, and no life for 3 years. My brave and wonderful Dr. advised me of the WP as an alternative to conventional HRT because it is biomimetic. Since being on it I have gotten my life back, I am painting again, baking, hiking and enjoying my life again! Thank you Ms. Wiley!"   ~ Susan Vincent Grove - A Wiley Protocol Patient

"This growing old lark is no fun, I mean I am not old! Old to me means 70's, 80's not late 40's that has to be insane.  How on earth can the menopause cause so much pain within joints and muscles because of the lack of hormones?  For those of you who have been through it all the pain, and memory blanking, does it go away, or is this it, for the rest of my living days? I really hope not, what a life and disasterous one at that. These pains wake me up in the middle of the night, I have to apply biofreeze to get some relief. I'm in pain all over but my right arm is the worse, it aches all the time. Sometimes, I think it would be better to have it amputated, no I'd miss it too much, but sometimes I feel like ripping it off. My doctor's no help, says, it's the menopause, just relax and it will all pass.  Everyone my age said the same, but my mum and aunts said, " I have a long wait for that, if ever."      ~ CoffeeStar


"I just started the Wiley Protocol and had such a major shift. I just never want to go back to whatever was happening to my body. I had no idea how much pain I was in until I wasn't any more. I hurt all over every day for so long, I don't know when it began....I know that it is gone and I am so happy. Thank you! "  Lisa A Wiley Protocol Patient


"Thirty-five is when you finally get your head together and your body starts falling apart."   ~ Caryn Leschen
