Menopause and Alternative Medicine
Ah, menopause! It’s that change of life that every woman dreads but knows is inevitable. During the early teen years a girl begins
to menstruate monthly, and with the exception of pregnancies, this 28-day cycle of menstruation continues until she’s past the
child-bearing years. Then, good ol’ menopause shows up for act 2.
Most women sail through menopause with hardly a problem, but for some women menopause is a terrible time of life. Hot flashes
(jokingly called “power surges”) are common. Hormones go crazy and mood changes are frequent. When these symptoms appear,
a woman usually rushes to her medical doctor seeking relief. The medical profession refers to treatments other than those by
medical doctors as CAM (Complementary Alternative Medicine).
Women who opt for CAM as opposed to HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) use vitamin and mineral supplements, soy supplements and
soy foods, and the herbal supplement black cohosh.
Women also use meditation, relaxation and deep breathing techniques, essential oils (such as evening primrose), baths and massages
and red clover supplements to relieve menopausal symptoms.
There’s no “cure” for menopause other than time. Traditional medical practitioners can prescribe drugs that may (or may not)
relieve symptoms, but all synthetic prescription medications have one or several nasty little potential side effects, whereas no
CAM treatments have side effects of any kind.
Many women turn to acupuncture to relieve the symptoms of menopause and acupuncture has proven to be very, very effective in
relieving menopausal symptoms and without any side effects at all. The idea of acupuncture to relieve the symptoms of menopause
is to “re-establish a harmonious state of the body” by restoring chi and balancing yin and yang.
There are also nutritionally based CAM treatments for menopause. Soy-based foods, for example, contain isoflavones and are similar
to estrogen.
