Seabuckthorn: A Natural Way to Ease Vaginal Dryness

Menopause typically occurs in women between the ages of 40 and 50, and is defined as not having a menstrual period anymore. Menopause is the middle transition between perimenopause and postmenopause.

Symptoms of menopause include irregular bleeding, hot flashes, vaginal dryness, mood swings, weight gain, slowed metabolism, and thinning hair. However, it's important to know that every woman experiences different symptoms.

One of the most common symptoms women complain about is vaginal dryness.

The first thing you should consider doing if you're near menopause and are experiencing vaginal dryness is getting your hormone levels tested. However, if you're someone who doesn't want to start taking hormones, there might be some natural remedies you can use to ease your symptoms, such as seabuckthorn. Seabuckthorn is an herb native to China and European countries. This berry is packed with vitamins, fatty acids, amino acids, and minerals and is used to help ease and treat many health issues.
