St Johns Wort - Verdict

natural menopause news

A while back, I had said that I had been feeling depressed and had started taking St Johns Wort.

For those who are interested in knowing the outcome, for me it has been a total success.

I did not see immediate results and was ready to give up after 3 months. However, I started to feel a subtle difference at about 3 and a half months, and can definitely feel the benefits now.

I have been taking SJW for 5 months now and has been great. It has helped me get through a very difficult and traumatic period when my mum was in hospital, very smoothly. I have felt that I could cope and I no longer get so down that I can't spring back easily.
Things just seem more manageable. Don't expect a miracle though.

As to the menopause symptoms, the hot flushes and the other sypmtoms seem marginally better.

So give it a try and you never know - you might find a new you!

Feeling Depressed.....

I haven't posted for a while, because I've been feeling really down lately.
I can't take any of the herbs for menopause as I'm allergic to them, but have been using high doses of vitamins and theanine to manage the menopause.
But I guess it's the combination of the long winter this year, a couple of colds and an ear infection that have ground me down.

I've also been feeling sorry for myself, and so much want to find the woman that I was again. I just seem to have lost that spark.

So, I have decided to take St John's Wort in the hope that it will give me that extra helping hand to pull myself out of this.
I started taking it a couple of weeks ago and will keep you informed of it's efficacy.
Apparently it takes about six weeks to work it's magic!

I will try and put up a description and how to take it etc on my Natural Menopause site when I'm up to it.

Bon Courage to all those going through the same thing.....
