You are right to be concerned. Recent research has shown that while HRT does help to control and manage menopausal symptoms, it can also cause an increase in strokes, heart attacks, blood clots, cardio vascular disease, breast cancer and Alzheimer’s disease. Fortunately, there are natural ingredients like black cohosh that can help to alleviate the symptoms of menopause without all the troubling side effects associated with traditional HRT.
