Menopause

Natural Remedies for Menopause Support

Menopause is a natural phase of a woman’s life that marks the end of menstruation and fertility, typically between the ages of 45 and 55. While it is not a disease, the hormonal fluctuations that occur during this transition can lead to a wide range of physical and emotional symptoms, including hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, fatigue, and disturbed sleep.

Many of these symptoms are tied to declining estrogen levels, but stress, diet, lifestyle, and other health conditions can also play a role. Thankfully, a variety of natural remedies and holistic approaches can help ease the transition and restore hormonal balance.

Featured Natural Remedies

Newton’s Menopause Drops (Sage Complex Drops)

A gentle liquid formula combining key herbs traditionally used to reduce menopausal discomfort and restore emotional balance:

• Black Cohosh – Known to relieve hot flashes, night sweats, and irritability.

• Wild Yam – Natural support for hormonal balance.

• Dong Quai – A traditional Chinese herb that supports circulation and female reproductive health.

• Zizyphus (Jujube) – Calms the nervous system and supports restful sleep.

• Sage – Reduces excessive sweating and helps regulate body temperature.

This formula is ideal for daily use to support physical and emotional stability throughout the menopausal transition.

Newton’s Female Corrective Capsules

These capsules are designed to nourish and regulate the female hormonal system and nervous function:

• Wild Yam – Promotes hormone balance and reduces menstrual discomfort.

• Black Cohosh – Eases hot flashes and emotional tension.

• Dong Quai – Supports reproductive hormone harmony.

• Scullcap – Calms the nervous system, especially helpful for stress, restlessness, or insomnia.

• Pyridoxine (Vitamin B6) – Supports mood balance, neurotransmitter health, and reduces premenstrual and menopausal irritability.

This combination is particularly helpful for women navigating perimenopause or menopause with irregular cycles and mood instability.

Key Herbal Remedies for Menopause

• Chaste Tree (Vitex): Helps regulate the pituitary to balance estrogen and progesterone.

• Motherwort: Calms heart palpitations and emotional agitation.

• False Unicorn Root: Stimulates the ovaries and helps in early menopause.

• Ginseng: Enhances vitality and emotional resilience.

• Sarsaparilla: Contains plant-based progesterone-like compounds.

• Evening Primrose Oil / Blackcurrant Oil: Rich in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) to reduce inflammation and support estrogen production.

Herbal Menopause Tea

A traditional herbal infusion to ease hot flashes and restore inner calm.

Ingredients:

• Hop cones

• Lady’s mantle

• Sage leaves

• Melissa (lemon balm)

• Walnut leaves

Preparation:
Simmer 2–3 tbsp of the mixture in 500 ml water for 2–5 minutes. Strain and sweeten with honey if desired. Drink two cups daily for 6–8 weeks.

Optional Add-On:
Fresh pomegranate seeds (a natural source of phytoestrogens) can be eaten daily alongside this tea for added hormonal support. Pomegranate seeds are rich in plant-based estrogens that help mitigate hot flashes and mood swings. Avoid if pregnant or in estrogen-sensitive conditions.

Nutritional Support for Hormonal Balance

Supplements such as Floradix Iron with Herbs and Nature Works Herbal Iron may be used if fatigue or heavy periods are present.

Homeopathy for Menopause Relief

For individualized symptom patterns, homeopathic remedies can be taken once daily at 30c or more frequently at lower potencies.

• Lachesis: For heat flashes with no sweating, left-sided symptoms, and irritability.

• Sepia: For fatigue, loss of libido, uterine heaviness, and disinterest in relationships.

• Sulphur: For burning hands and feet, insomnia, and emotional volatility.

• Cimicifuga: For dark moods, headaches, flooding menses, and muscle tension.

• Belladonna: For sudden heat and redness, pounding headaches, and tension.

• Sanguinaria: For right-sided headaches, burning in hands and feet, and vivid flushing.

• Thuja: For speech fog, mental fatigue, and self-critical thinking.

Lifestyle Tips for Menopause Wellness

• Exercise regularly: Walking, yoga, swimming, and resistance training help regulate hormones, lift mood, and prevent osteoporosis.

• Reduce triggers: Avoid spicy food, alcohol, caffeine, and sugar—all of which can exacerbate hot flashes and mood swings.

• Hydrate well: Water helps reduce hot flashes and maintain thermoregulation.

• Eat more plants: Focus on whole grains, leafy greens, legumes, seeds (sunflower, sesame), and garlic.

• Mindful habits: Practice yoga, breathing exercises, or journaling to reduce stress and support adrenal function.

• Sleep well: Create a regular sleep schedule and avoid late-night stimulation (screens, caffeine).

• Avoid smoking: Smoking can worsen symptoms and is contraindicated if using hormone therapy.
