Alternative therapies for menopausal disorders

Abstract

A woman’s life can be theoretically divided into certain periods: children’s, adolescent, reproductive and ageing. The latter is also called menopause. Everything related to ageing is usually associated with negative expectations and a pessimistic disposition. But if it is remembered, the word «climax» comes from the Greek language, meaning «staircase». Thus, menopause presents a culmination of a «female career». Each period is marked by its physiological characteristics, and menopause is no exception. The completion of the reproductive system functioning is often accompanied by the formation of a number of estrogen-deficient conditions. The latest modern insights, ranging from hormonal substances to alternative compounds, can effectively solve the problems of menopause.
