I am wondering if natural progesterone will help me with the menopause. I have no periods at all, low libido, hot flushes, restless at night, weight gain and vaginal dryness. I am not wanting to go on HRT i am looking for a natural product, could you advise me?

I would suggest looking at the herb Maca, this is traditionally used for libido, energy and mood, it tends to work reasonably quickly and can be taken for as long as needed, just Google for more info.

Vaginal dryness often responds well to Sea Buckthorn Oil Capsules and this can be taken with the Maca. You may find taking sage tea in the evening helpful as well.

Acupuncture can often be helpful for a range of menopause symptoms so worth looking into.

Many women do find weight gain an issue during the menopause, falling oestrogen can affect the metabolism especially of carbs so you may find cutting carbs right down and increasing protein and veg helpful, check out the Low GL Diet for more info.
