Posted in: On Menopause
My biggest success story as far as natural remedies for pre-menopausal symptoms has been the natural herb Maca. Maca is a Peruvian grown root that has been used for 3800 years! The Indians of Peru have considered it a staple and both men and women use it.
What I find wonderful about this natural remedy for balancing hormones is that it relieves you of needing to test to see which hormones are out of sync on which days. This applies to your whole endocrine system - thyroid, adrenals, pituitary as well as your balance of estrogen, progesterone and testosterone.
I also like that you can’t really hurt yourself by taking too much. For many women as little as 1/2 teaspoon of the raw powder a day works but you can take a tablespoon twice a day if that seems right for you, no problem. It also comes in capsules but I actually like the earthy, rooty taste and texture of it, adding it to my smoothies or sprinking on granola.
Some of the extra benefits besides reducing the typical menopausal symptoms of emotional swings, hot flashes, fatique, etc is that it can also boost your energy levels and overall sense of well-being and enhance your libido if that is something that has diminished with all the shifts of your body changes.
