Emily – I’m glad you found this brochure helpful. The Alberta Health Services website offers lot of good information that you should also find useful. Good luck with your own blog – I look forward to reading it – please let me know where I can find it!

Hi Wendy,

Thanks for the information about this brochure! I’ve been thinking about valerian for my sleep problems, but wasn’t sure if it would be safe and/or a waste of money. The scientific and unbiased source for this brochure gave me the confidence to give it a try!
I just started my own personal blog about menopause – a quest for answers! I thanked you for this information in my blog (and provided your web site address). I’ll be checking your great web site again from time to time!
Thanks again! Emily

Vicki – Thanks for your comment. I’m glad you found the information helpful. Sleep disturbances are a common complaint of women in perimenopause as well as full-fledged menopause. It looks like you’ve found a good solution with melatonin and valerian and there are other possible remedies worth trying, according to the brochure.

Thanks for your comment, Helen and for linking to this blog. You offer lots of good products on your website that could be helpful to menopausal women. I agree that it’s challenging to know what to use and what works. Lots of research is required and I think this chart offers solid information.

Thank you SO much for publishing this chart! My company offers herbal solutions to vaginal dryness caused by fluctuations in hormones or no hormones as happens during the menopause, cancer treatment or child birth.

My #1 challenge is providing enough information to my customers, who for the most part are not used to herb’s names or uses, so they can make good decisions for themselves, with their doctor’s support.

I am putting a link to this on my site and thank you again!

Best wishes to you, Helen
