Suffering from depression and peri-menopausal symptoms.

jackalboy

hi bobble, I have had occasion to work with several women who have begun the menopause and have found that using herbal remedies can help balance the hormonal system very well. I have experience using black cohosh, sage, dong quai, white peony and wild yam, depending on the circumstances. A good herbalist may help. Is your mother using a Hormone Replacement Treatment? If so some of the herbs listed may be contra indicated. Consult your doctor before using any of them. However black cohosh has been licensed as a medicine in Germany as it has proven so effective in balancing hormonal function in menopausal women. Acupuncture/pressure can help with the symptoms of depression also, prescriptions vary depending on the symptoms of the syndrome so consult an experienced practitioner. www.yinyanghouse.com/treatments/acupuncture_for_menopause www.yinyanghouse.com/treatments/acupuncture_for_depression These two give indicators which may provide a basis for treatment. Best of luck to you both, jackalboy
