Alternative to HRT?

[BelleDameSansMerci]

Hi, hope someone can help me with this one.

My mum is no longer able to be prescribed HRT as she has been taking it for a long time and is now 63. Her doctor is worried she may be at risk of a stroke if she takes it for too long.

She is, however, not having a very nice time now that she's no longer taking it and I wondered if anyone could recommend an alternative? I've looked online but without any knowledge it's a bit difficult to tell if anything is actually worthwhile.

So, any advice gratefully received.

Sorry don't know how to link but google 'menopause matters' its a fantastic website.

Thank you - really appreciate it.

I never went on HRT. i took herbs;

1. Dong Quai

1. Sage

1. Evening Primrose oil

1. camomile

there are others, tell your mum to try these (not all together obviously!) and see which ones she's happy with. I had a really easy menopause with the help of the above and a healthy eating plan.

There's a ggod book by Leslie Kenton on managing the menopause 'naturally'

here on Amazon

She suggests various herbs etc. & I've found it to be a very informative book.
