In perimenopause, symptoms such as breast tenderness and breast size changes are regular occurences. If you experience these symptoms, consider making small adjustments to your diet or consulting for natural treatment recommendations. Women have reported the following to help:
Dietary tips
- Cut down on salt and caffeine (this will also reduce hot flashes and night sweats).
- Add flaxseed oil to your diet.
Natural and alternative treatments: Homeopathy
Homeopathic remedies depend on your specific symptoms, seek advice. The following are examples of prescriptions that have helped some women. You should not self-diagnose and self-prescribe.
- Lac caninum: suck on 5c tablets three to four times daily
- Folliculinum: 7c tablets, once daily
Herbal therapies:
Still pretty much under scrutiny. Women recommend these but science has not yet established a link between herbs and symptom relief.
- Black cohosh
- Evening primrose
- Sage
- Wild yam
A good starting point with alternative and natural therapies is to get documented so you know what you can expect from them. Natural therapies are good also if you are on 'traditional' medication to balance the toxicity of prescription drugs on your organs.
