Beverly Hills, CA, Feb. 20, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Most women enter menopause in their late 40s or early 50s. As
their ovaries begin to produce fewer hormones, they can experience
a variety of menopause symptoms. Eventually, their monthly cycles
will end, marking the beginning of menopause. Hormones can
fluctuate wildly during these years, and symptoms can range in
severity and type. Many women experience hot flashes, mood swings,
irritability, headaches and vaginal dryness. Dr. Shoreh Ershadi
discusses the effectiveness of menopause
natural relief supplements, which are rapidly gaining in
popularity.
Pomegranate is a popular antioxidant with antiviral and
antibacterial properties. It has recently gained in popularity as a
menopause
natural cure as well. An article published in a 2004 issue of
the "Journal of Ethnopharmacology" revealed that pomegranate
extract could promote bone density in mice that had undergone
induced menopause. Women may be able to benefit similarly from
pomegranate since the fruit has estrogens that restore
premenopausal rates of bone resorption. Pomegranate may also be
able to help stabilize mood, promote heart health and reduce
menopausal weight gain by restoring proper hormone
levels.
Green tea has been shown to relieve not just hot flashes but also
the foggy thoughts and lethargy commonly associated with menopause.
Researchers in Singapore revealed that green tea could cut the
incidence of hot flashes nearly in half and that the caffeine
content may help women feel more focused and alert.
Black cohosh is another top menopause
natural remedy ingredient. Made from the roots of the North
American black cohosh plant, this herb has been shown to help
reduce hot flashes and other symptoms by supporting healthy hormone
levels. Not all women can benefit from black cohosh, however, and
women who have a personal history of breast cancer or liver disease
may want to pass this herb by.
These and other herbs have been extensively tested, and those that
have been determined to be safe and effective may be used as a part
of an overall lifestyle that includes a healthy diet and exercise
to reduce bothersome menopause
symptoms.
DON'T PAUSE, an all-natural menopause supplement, contains pomegranate extract, green tea, black cohosh and various other natural ingredients, and can help alleviate many bothersome menopause symptoms.
