In Western society during the last 40 years, menopause, once unmentioned and borne in silence, has come to be regarded as one of the key life-events that might compromise women’s physical, mental and emotional wellbeing. With the increase in women’s life expectancy and their further expectations of retaining vitality and vigour for far longer than their mothers, women were initially offered pharmaceutical solutions. While initially embraced enthusiastically, by women wishing to avoid what they were led to believe was an inevitable decline in “their youth”, skin and hair texture, sex drive and mood, those solutions have now been shown to come with some risk factors.    

Not surprisingly, women (and many practitioners) have increasingly turned to natural formulations with plant-based solutions including Black Cohosh, Red Clover, Wild Yam and soy-containing compounds. These phyto compounds still assist with only one aspect of the overall physiological changes that occur during the pre and post menopausal periods, unless of course women are taking three different products!
