Why Use Natural Menopause Anxiety Treatment?
Our Menopause Expert Doctor at Almasi Skincare offers natural menopause anxiety treatment that does not use HRT (hormone replacement therapy) because the side effects of hormone replacement therapy include developing breast cancer, endometrial cancer, stroke, deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary thrombosis, breast pain, vaginal bleeding, gall bladder disease, bloating, nausea, diarrhea, headache, mood changes, muscle cramps, skin rash, itchy skin, hives, and allergic reactions.
Consequently, our natural menopause anxiety treatment does not use HRT. It uses nutrition, supplements and lifestyle modifications.

What Causes Menopause Anxiety?
Menopause anxiety is caused by declining estrogen levels which can affect the brain’s chemistry. Sleep disturbances and stress can also contribute to the anxiety.
Natural Menopause Anxiety Treatment
To treat menopause anxiety naturally, do the following:
Increase dietary omega 3 fatty acid intake
Omega 3 fatty acids are thought to have a role in reducing the symptoms of anxiety because they have anti-inflammatory properties.
Therefore increase your intake of omega 3 fatty acids by consuming 2 servings of fatty fish like fatty fish like salmon and mackerel each week. Each serving should be 3-4 ounces. You can also consume chia seeds, flaxseeds and walnuts to provide you with omega 3 fatty acids. To do so, add them to your smoothies and cereal. You can also drizzle flaxseed oil and walnut oil on your salads.
Take an omega 3 fatty acid supplement
If you are not able to get adequate amounts of omega 3 fatty acids from your diet, consider taking an omega 3 supplement. The reference daily intake (RDI) of combined EPA and DHA is 250–500 mg.
We recommend Now Omega 3 Fish Oil which provides 180 EPA 120 DHA per softgel. It can be purchased from our Nairobi Almasi Skincare Shop located on Moi Avenue, Sawa Mall, 3rd floor, Shop C15. Call 0721963156 or WhatsApp +254 721 963 156 to order. We deliver countrywide/worldwide.
.
Increase dietary magnesium intake
Studies show that magnesium reduces levels of the stress hormone cortisol and improve anxiety. Other studies show that magnesium is effective in relieving symptoms in persons with mild to moderate anxiety.
Therefore increase your intake of magnesium-rich foods like avocados, almonds, bananas, beans, broccoli, brown rice, cashews, dark chocolate, flaxseed, oats, peas, pumpkin seeds, sesame, soybeans, spinach, sunflower seeds, and wholegrain bread.
Take a supplement with magnesium
If you are not able to get the recommended dietary intake (RDI) of 320mg of magnesium per day from your diet, consider taking a supplement with magnesium.
We recommend Centrum Silver Women 50+ because it contains 100mg of magnesium in each tablet. It can be purchased from our Nairobi Almasi Skincare Shop located on Moi Avenue, Sawa Mall, 3rd floor, Shop C15. Call 0721963156 or WhatsApp +254 721 963 156 to order.

Exercise Regularly
Engage in 150 minutes of aerobic exercise each week and strength training thrice a week since exercise can help reduce anxiety symptoms.
Reduce caffeine and alcohol intake
Reduce caffeine since it is a stimulant that can increase anxiety symptoms. It can also affect sleep. To reduce your caffeine intake, drink green tea since it has numerous health benefits and 1 cup contains 1/3 of the caffeine in a cup of coffee.
Sleep adequately
Ensure that you sleep adequately since sleep deprivation can worsen anxiety. Do this by improving your sleep hygiene by going to bed at the same time and waking up at the same time. Ensure that you also avoid blue light from phones, computers and television before bed. and not scrolling your phone while in bed. Avoid napping during the day and take warm baths and sip warm milk before going to bed.
Manage Stress
Effective stress management can reduce anxiety symptoms. Therefore practice relaxation techniques like meditation and abdominal breathing daily.

Drink chamomile tea
Drink chamomile tea because it contains phytoestrogens which act like estrogen in the body and can help reduce the menopausal symptoms of hormonal imbalances. Chamomile also has calming properties which can help it relieve anxiety. Do not drink chamomile tea if you are taking the blood thinner warfarin or cyclosporin.
Seek social support
Seek to connect with other women who are going through menopause either offline or online so that you can share experiences and receive practical assistance and emotional support. This will reduce feelings of isolation and improve your well-being.
Get talk therapy
Talk therapy and specifically CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) is beneficial since it can teach you to notice thoughts that make you feel bad and replace them with positive ones that make you feel better. CBT also helps you adapt to the symptoms so that you react to them differently.
