Home Remedies for Menopausal Disorders.
Menopause or cessation of menses in women is a normal
event which occurs in the mid or late forties. It signifies
the end of the female reproductive period of life, which
commences at adolescence in the early teens.
At the time of menopause, the entire chain of endocrine
glands is affected, particularly, the gonads, thyroid, and
pituitary glands. In some women, the menopausal change
takes place without any unpleasant symptoms, the only
change really being the cessation of menstrual flow. There
are, however, many women who develop disturbing
symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats, tension,
insomnia, diminished interest in sex, irritability, and
depression.Other symptoms are fatigue, palpitations,
dizziness, headaches, and numbness.

Disturbing symptoms associated with menopause arise from the fact that the ovaries are no longer producing
their normal amount of estrogen, the dominant female hormone. Anything which interferes with the normal
functioning of the ovaries may also bring about these symptoms. Lack of a normal hormonal balance may also
result in a severe backache which is caused by thinning of the bones. This condition is called osteoporosis and
arises from the low level of estrogen in the bloodstream
Treatment with Nutrients:
During menopause, lack of ovarian hormones can result in severe calcium deficiency. For this reason, a larger
than usual intake of calcium may help greatly. Vitamin D is also essential for assimilation of calcium. Any woman
experiencing disturbing symptoms at this time should supplement her daily diet with 1,000 units of natural
vitamin D, 500 mg of magnesium, and obtain 2 gm of calcium daily which can be supplied by one liter of milk.
Treatment with Beet Juices:
Beet juice has been found very useful in menopausal disorders. It should be taken in small quantities of 60 to 90
ml at a time, thrice a day. It has proved much more permanently helpful than the degenerative effects of drugs or
synthetic hormones.
Menses Disorders Treatment with Carrot Seeds:
Carrot seeds have also been found valuable in menopausal tension. A teaspoon of the seeds should be boiled in
a glass of cow's milk for about ten minutes and taken daily as a medicine in the treatment of this condition.
Menses Disorders Treatment with Liquorice:
The use of liquorice is one of the most effective remedies for menopausal disorders. Liquorice contains the
natural female hormone, estrogen, and can, to some degree, compensate for the diminished hormone. One
teaspoon of the powder should be taken daily.
