Natural remedies
Posted , 19 users are following.
Hi there all,
I was hoping to start a place where we could list all the natural remedies (for peri and meno) we have tried and had success with. There are so many of us suffering so many awful symptoms, it would be nice if we could actually get some natural relief. I mean ANYTHING you have to offer would be greatly appreciated.
Also if you add the symptoms that were helped by the remedy that would be great. Thank you all in advance.

I'm one of the unfortunate ones who has vivid dreams with Valerian. I have found if I drink it as a tea that it's better though. So any other ladies who experience the awful dreams could maybe try a different variation and see how you go. The Essential oil worked okay too, but boy does it stink! A bit of a hubby repellent hahaha. Can't wait to hear your other remedies, thank you!!

After extensive research I am trying Ashwanghanda, one of a few natural supplements that have had some clinical trials. Purest form is best but only available online now.

Hi ladies
Menopace plus botanicals has helped ease the extreme tiredness, dizziness and palpitations also eased the anxiety and depression which is not as severe as it was. I also take vit c, magnesium,vit d, b complex, but his morning I have woken up feeling really awful, nauseous, aching stiff legs,headache, my gums are swollen I have taken medication I am hoping it will wear off f soon as I really wanted to get out and enjoy the day and weather.
I still cannot believe there is nowhere to meet talk and comfort each other as I don't want to keep burdening my friends and family with my problems also they don't really understand so I feel like I am boring everyone. Thank goodness for this forum.

I feel the same way. I feel like it's all consuming and all I talk about anymore. No one I know is going through it, my husband doesn't really get it and just wants it over with (me too obviously). So just feel like I'm a bore. It's very lonely at times.

Janet... the way you're feel totally mirrors me. Exactly. I feel I can't keep going on about it to friends & family either as I think they're now possibly thinking 'Here she goes! Same old...' 😕
I take HRT but have had (and still having) probs but also take multi vits, vitamin b complex, cod liver oil and vit d. The cod liver oil I take as a liquid as apparently it isn't well absorbed by the body in capsule form (?) but I take the orange flavour as can't tolerate the taste of original!!
Wondering if I need more magnesium but I just seen to take so much I'll rattle soon!

Brittany,
Do you mind me asking what topical form of progesterone you use as I'm having hellish probs with that side of my HRT and have now tried 3 types... the current type seems to make me so tired.
Anyway, sorry to ask on this thread as I know it's supplements etc but I'm so desperate... feel like I'm going mad and I just can't cope much longer... 😢

No don't be sorry! Any way we can help each other is important, natural or not. Finding an end to suffering is what's important.
I'm also very interested to hear if anyone has had any luck with topical natural progesterone creams too please?

Thank you so much... I'm taking utrogestran tabs at the mo (only started them last week) which apparently are also bioidentical and from yam but it's making me feel sooooo exhausted, just started with spotting and lower tummy pain... I wonder if the cream would be better for me... so fed up with it all!!!
Thank you again for the info.
AJ. xx

Oh you are most welcome! I'm just so glad we all have each other. It can feel very isolating and lonely at times. We are all going to get through this. Thank you for the support xx

Hi there again...
Yes, utrogestran is prescription only but is supposed to be bio-identical.
So far I've been taking two capsules at night for around 12 days and I fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow which is very unusual as it takes me ages to sleep, the downside is I find it very difficult to wake each morning and my head feels foggy for quite some time. I've also started spotting badly too so not great. Not sure if it'll settle but I'm worrying as I feel pretty crap and the next time I use them I'll be on a busy holiday, lots of driving too - I'm terrified I won't cope!! Can't cancel either.

Hi Brittay,
Wanted to check in with you to see if you are still having benefits from the progesterone?
I just started one as well that I bought on Amazon and even though it's only been 4 days - I am starting to slowly see some changes.
Can I ask how often/amount you are using? Thanks so much! This group has been such a gift to me!
