There is a safe, effective alternative to HRT!

Our members all hold a degree level qualification in herbal medicine and many specialise in supporting women through . With the right plant medicines and some key dietary and lifestyle changes you can make a big impact on your wellbeing and reboot your health at this pivotal stage of life. The safety profile of HRT has improved in recent years but it still comes with risks - and not all women can, or wish to take it.

It’s important that the HRT discussion doesn’t centre around making women think something bad is going to happen to them if they *don’t* take HRT. Balance in this discussion is much-needed. HRT has its place, but so does nutrition, choosing the correct approach for your body and making sure you are taking excellent care of your health. Every woman will have her own, unique peri/menopause journey and everyone’s response to it will be different.

Atrophic vaginitis is a common problem in postmenopausal women due principally to decreased levels of circulating oestrogen. Typical symptoms are itching, burning, dyspareunia, and postmenopausal bleeding. A randomised, controlled clinical trial in 60 postmenopausal women found that a total fenugreek extract (as a vaginal cream) could be helpful in treating signs of atrophic vaginitis, and was close to, but not as effective as, ultra-low-dose oestrogen, see https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32640956/

Many people have a natural decline in memory and thinking as they get older, but people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) experience difficulties greater than expected for their age. However, this is not to the extent that it impairs their daily lives.

MCI can be caused by a range of underlying conditions (such as depression, low vitamin levels and thyroid problems) and may not progress or might even reverse. But it might also be the early stages of dementia; an estimated 5 to 15% of people with diagnosed MCI progress to dementia each year. In patients with MCI, walking (gait) instability, particularly in dual-task situations, has been associated with impaired executive function and an increased risk of falls.

Fifty patients aged 50 to 85 years with MCI and associated dual-task-related gait impairment participated in a randomised, double blind, placebo-controlled, exploratory trial. Standardised Ginkgo extract for 6 months at 240 mg/per day improved dual-task walking, see https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28181206/
