Why is menopause more of a health issue for women in the UK, compared to women in Japan?
The answer to that question is highly significant in finding natural ways to reduce and manage menopause symptoms. It could also provide clues for the many women keen to find alternatives to hormone replacement therapy. According to the British Menopause Society: “Menopause is a major life event, marking the end of the reproductive life cycle, and many women may experience troublesome symptoms related to menopause for a number of years. This can have a detrimental impact on their quality of life, wellbeing and may also have a significant impact on their personal relationships and work.”
