Hi all,
I was interested in your experiences. I had been having symptoms of the menopause for several years theses symptoms got worse about 18 months ago, i felt i did not want to risk HRT because of my family connections with cancer, so i tried acupunture together with chinese herbs, the results were amazing. I did wondered if my hormones were fluctuating and the results were coincidence, so i stoped partly because the treatment was costing me £50 per week! After a few months the symtoms were back and worse than ever, i went to my GP and agin were told the protential risks i felt the NHS really could not offer me anything, i decided to try the chinese medicine again the results were again amazing i opted not to have the acupuncture because of the costs. So i take Zhi Bai Di Huang Wan and Kun Bao, the cost is appox £15 per week and this gives me conplete releif of hot flushes/ night sweats and releif of vaginal dryness, because i am sleeping better my mood has impoved. My only worry is what are in these tablets and what the possible side effects are!
Kind Regards
Julie

hi
here i am too at that time of life. call me old-fashionned but i beleive in aging and changing taking its natural course and HRT is not wat i see as natural. however i am a firm believer in chinese wisdom and chinese medicine. i would swear by acupuncture by which i have had several problems cured permanently and being a manipulation of our energies by redirecting the currents in the right directions i see it as an understanding of natural laws. and plants! alittle help from mother nature who gives us the magic of healing and the cleansing of our bodies and souls..... one thing for sure is that plants will have no damaging effects or lasting after effects such as chemicals. chinese still have the lore of plants and an ancient knowledge and understanding of nature that is sadly lost in our european society. have faith and trust!

I have taken chinese medicines before without problems, however you have to be careful if you are taking prescribed medication from your GP as chinese medicines can cause a chemical reaction with some conventional medications and cause nasty side effects. ALWAYS check with your GP or practice nurse first.
