Alternative Treatments Based On Natural Hormones Are Becoming Increasingly Popular For Treating Perimenopause Or Menopause Symptoms Many women who are experiencing unpleasant perimenopause or menopause symptoms are considering alternative treatments based on natural hormones as a means of alleviating them. Conventional hormone replacement therapy is generally regarded as a very reliable and effective treatment for a wide range of perimenopause or menopause symptoms, including hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, fatigue, a decline in libido, mood swings, depression and memory lapses.

It’s very important to understand that any kind of medical treatment, whether naturally derived or not, carries with it the risk of side effects, harmful interactions and allergic reactions.

The Benefits of Brushes Most people overlook the importance of using application tools, like brushes, when they apply their make-up. The most important reason is performance.

Applying your blush is another good example. It is very hard to make both of your cheeks look even when you use your fingers as application tools.
