Boycott Horse Urine HRT Medicines
Some HRT medicines (including Premarin) are made from the urine of pregnant horses, due to it being rich in oestrogen compounds. There are many welfare concerns here, including the foals (bred to keep mares pregnant) sold to the meat trade.
Investigations have found mares being kept in narrow stalls, in conditions akin to factory farms, with repeated collection and catheterisation causes painful sores. To make urine more concentrated, drinking water may be limited. HRT medicine also has health risks (blood clots, stroke, breast cancer).
If you take HRT medicine, ask your GP if your brand is made with horse urine. If so (and you wish to continue on HRT), ask to be switched to a plant-based or body-identical brand.
Simple Tips to Sail Through Menopause Naturally
Menopause is a natural life stage. It often happens around age 50. Hot flushes, night sweats, mood shifts, and fatigue are common, and they can feel heavy. Natural support can ease the load and protect long-term health. Food, movement, herbs, and mindset work well together. Green tea is good for menopausal symptoms.
Embrace Change with Natural Nutrition
- Phytoestrogens: Foods like tofu, tempeh, flaxseeds, chickpeas, and lentils contain plant compounds that act a bit like oestrogen. They can soften flushes for some women.
- Anti‑inflammatory choices: Berries, leafy greens, tomatoes and plant-based omega 3 fatty acids can help ease joint pain and fatigue. Walnuts add healthy fats.
- Hydration: Cool water, herbal teas, or diluted juice help steady temperature changes and may lessen flush intensity.
- Know your triggers: Caffeine, alcohol, and spicy foods can spark flushes. Try a two-week test. Cut one at a time, then reintroduce, to see what sets you off.
- Bone support: Choose calcium-rich foods such as tofu set with calcium, sesame seeds, dark greens (check medication), and fortified plant milks. Plus a vitamin D3 supplement in autumn and winter.
- Magnesium: Spinach, kale, pumpkin seeds and beans support bone formation.
Move and Breathe Your Way to Balance
A steady walk in your local park can be a daily reset. Fresh air, light, and movement raise serotonin, improve circulation, and support pelvic and vaginal health.
- Daily: 20 minutes brisk walking, finish with 5 minutes of slow breathing.
- Twice a week: Light strength work, such as bodyweight squats, wall push-ups, and resistance bands.
Cochrane reviews suggest exercise can cut hot flush severity in some women, in some trials by up to 50 percent. It also matches NHS activity guidance, which promotes at least 150 minutes of moderate activity a week.
