Menopause is NOT a disease!
Listen! Menopause is NOT a disease that needs ‘curing', it is just a passing phase in a woman's life, and it should definitely not be a life sentence! It is important to realise that menopause is not something new, it has been around since time began. Women have been going through menopause since the year dot! What that means is that a lot of experience on how to deal with menopause has accumulated over centuries. Long before drugs were thought of, women were cruising through menopause without a care in the world. What did they do? They used natural herbs. Herbs found to be well-tolerated and helpful for millions of women through centuries, acknowledged through use and observation. These women were experts at what worked for them and what didn't.
Let's first take a look at the herbs. Remember, these have been used, tested, tried and found wonderfully helpful for years and years. They are not ‘johnny come lately' solutions out of a test tube in a laboratory. These herbs have been tested in the laboratory of Life!
Sage is a herb revered for its ability to aid in the relief of night sweats. Motherwort is another great herb. This too has been used for centuries especially for female complaints. It is a nerve tonic, the old herbal texts tell us that it is wonderful for "female weakness and disorders" allaying nervous irritability and inducing quiet into the whole nervous system... ::1:: Look's great for menopause, doesn't it. An easing of nervous tension, peace and quiet. Sounds wonderful. Culpepper, an author of Herbal Reference Text in the early 1800s, wrote of Motherwort ...Venus rules this herb. There is no better herb to make a person blithe and happy... The name MOTHERwort, tells it all.

You know how much Soy helps female problems like menopause. To prove how sophisticated Mother Nature is, she gave Soy a generous helping of phytoestrogens.

Another great herb called Bupleurumhas been used in Chinese medicine for over 2,000 years. It is known to the Chinese as the ‘harmony herb'. Skullcap is one of the best nerve tonics. Just what you need to soothe your jangled nerves and bring peace, calm and tranquility back into your life.
