Yes, natrual remedies are quite popular and commonly recommended for menopausal symptoms, but we just have to cautious.
Even though natural remedies are 'natrual' they can still impact other medications we're on. So it's always worth either talking to your GP or a chemist about that type of stuff.

I thought we could delve into what happens to your brain during the phases of menopause. In particular, why it causes some of the physical symptoms like heart palpitations, mood swings and hot flushes and also the psychological effects like mood swings.
I read a great description:
'The ovaries are failing and trying to keep up estrogen production. Some days they overshoot it, other days they can't produce enough...'
We have estrogen receptors throughout the brain and body, so when estrogen levels change, we experience the repercussions all over—especially when it comes to how we think and feel.
Some of you mentioned the impact on your mental health - did you find an increase in mood swings?

It would be interersting to see how many woman of 'peri-menopause' and menopause stage are on anti-depressants or anxiety tablets. I bet there would be heaps.
