Menopause is a natural transition that all women go through as they age, marking the end of a woman's reproductive years. The average age for menopause is 51, but it can occur anywhere from the late 30s to late 50s. During menopause, a woman's estrogen levels decline, leading to symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, insomnia, anxiety, and more. While menopause is a normal part of aging, the symptoms can significantly impact quality of life.
Fortunately, there are effective treatments available, like hormone therapy from Harmony Hormone Clinic clinic in Fort Wayne. Hormone therapy can help relieve menopausal symptoms by replacing the estrogen that the body is no longer producing. When administered correctly under medical supervision, hormone therapy is safe and effective for most women.

A little-known alternative treatment for menopause symptoms is red clover.

While not as effective as traditional hormone therapy, red clover is appealing to women seeking a natural option with fewer side effects. More research is still needed, but red clover shows promise as an herbal remedy for menopause discomfort.
