Maddy Mason and other menopausal women,
I know many people who have benefitted from taking Chinese herbal formulas
for aid in going through menopause more gracefully and comfortably.
Traditional Chinese Medicine has stone age roots. Those who have not found
help with diet alone may be interested in exploring this avenue. Look for a
qualified pracitioner of Chinese Herbal Medicine, or a licensed
acupuncturist who is also knowledgeable about Chinese herbs. There are some
classic herbal formulas that can help with menopause, which formula you
would need would be dependent upon your particular symptom pattern.
Also, it is possible that problems with fatty acid imbalance (excess omega
6s and relative to omega 3s) may be upsetting your hormone balance.
Good luck,
Rachel
