Menopause or the climacteric is is a difficult time in a woman’s life. The natural monthly flow slowly stops and along with that the essential female hormone estrogen also decreases in amount. This can cause a large range of symptoms to the female body which are severely uncomfortable and take a lot of adjusting. Although the previous philosophy was to supplant the female body with external hormones, doctors are now waking up to the fact that synthetic hormones may predispose to cancer. So smart women all over the world are now opting for natural estrogens or phyto-estrogens manufactured by a handful of herbs and which is extremely effective .I would advise you to take the name of these herbs and please consult with a trained naturopathic physician to prevent any side effects. These are potent herbs so please do not self medicate. - Soya and Soya products are rich in natural phyto-estrogens and you can use these at your pleasure to create tasty and nutritious recipes.
