Natural (bio-identical) progesterone has been a sanity-saver for me!
Most women do not need estrogen supplementation. As we near menopause, our estrogen production only drops 40 - 60%. Our progesterone production drops to nearly zero!
Also make sure you are getting enough vitamins and minerals. A good B-Complex and Vitamin E will help.
Menopause is a stage in life when a woman stops having her monthly period.It is a normal part of aging, marking the end of a woman's reproductive years.Get enough calcium. A woman going through menopause needs 1000 mg to 1500 mg of calcium a day. Avoid excessive amounts of salt to reduce bloating associated with hormonal changes.

A naturopathic-oriented co-worker shared with me a couple weeks ago that her doctor had suggested a nutritional supplement available at the local vitamin or health store for her menopause symptoms. I've been having the hot flash/night sweat cycle now for a year or so, and was complaining that I'm simply tired of it. Ferulic acid, aka gamma oryzanol, is a compound found in rice bran oil and is a staple of ancient Asian medicine. I found these on-line, and ordered a bottle of 90 500mg capsules for less than 10 bux. I've been taking one capsule a day for 2 weeks now, and the hot flashes and night sweats are gone. I've noticed a better attitude at work and in life, possibly due to finally getting enough sleep. You can research the produce on the web, and might discover this is a supplement that will help you. Good luck :) I should mention that I refuse to take any artificial hormones to alleviate the normal symptoms of menopause.
