medications is called hormone replacement therapy. However, hormone replacement
therapy is not affordable for all, as it’s costly and cause annoying
side-effects. An alternative to deal with menopause is using the natural
therapies. However, the important thing is to talk to your doctor and even the
oriental medicine practitioners before using any herbal therapy, as some side
effects may be harmful.
