Another popular treatment to relieve menopause symptoms is progesterone cream. These creams are excellent for hot flushes and night sweats. Some progesterone creams can be used internally for vaginal dryness.

Progesterone creams based on Wild Yam tend to be cheap in cost. The drawback of Wild Yam is that it doesn’t work.

Natpro is the brand I have found works best for me since I had very debilitating symptoms. It is made from organic materials and has a very good feel when applying it. It is also a bit stronger than others which makes it a bit more economical.

Progesterone is a naturally occurring hormone in the female body. Many studies have suggested that correcting progesterone imbalances can help relieve symptoms quickly. Hot flashes gone in just a few days. Quality of life and feeling of general wellbeing greatly enhanced.

Production of progesterone slows as we age and causes an imbalance of progesterone and estrogen and it is this that gives the symptoms.
