If you are experiencing severe symptoms related to menopause, but don’t want to use hormone therapy, there are natural alternatives that may help. Studies have found that supplementing with vitamin B complex, vitamin E, as well as other drugs like paroxetine, clonidine, or gabapentin may help reduce menopause symptoms.

Some women have reported that adding soy to their diets with food likes organic soy milk, soybeans, and tofu have helped. Primrose oil and black cohosh oil have also been found to be effective. As always, be sure to talk to your doctor before taking any new vitamins.
