Women experience menopause in their 40s or 50s, and the end of having menstrual cycles is marked by mood swings, night sweats and thinning hair. Although you can buy medication for menopause treatment, there are also a variety of natural remedies to help alleviate some of the symptoms. Regular exercise and trying to get a full night’s sleep every night can help, as can quitting smoking and trying to avoid stressful situations where possible. The right diet can help too, and that means plenty of water, reducing your intake of rice, pasta and other carbs, and eating more fruits and vegetables, especially broccoli. Salmon, ginseng and flax seeds are all beneficial too. Meditation and yoga are both recommended to help to reduce the anxiety that often accompanies menopause, and something you may not have considered – acupuncture can help alleviate those hot flashes.
