My only menopause issue was a serious problem of waking up in the middle of the night (probably from hormone surges, but I never had night sweats) and being unable to get back to sleep. I tried every natural product and solution recommended. Nothing helped me except CBD tincture and wild yam cream.
The CBD worked perfectly for one year and two months. Then, it stopped being effective. The store told me to detox for three months and restart. According to them, CBD accumulates in the liver. After detoxing, it will work again.
While I was “detoxing,” I mentioned to a new friend my sleep issues. She told me to get wild yam cream. A 1/4 teaspoon is applied topically at morning and night. I was truly skeptical. However at under under $20 a jar, I thought I would try it. It works! I am on my second jar; one jar lasts exactly 31 days.
I think the wild yam may be healthier in the long run, so I am sticking to it. If it stops working, I will flip back to CBD.
I hadn’t considered my 3:00 a.m. wake ups an hormonal issue. I do have that. Hmmmm,..
