Suggest Natural Remedy For Symptoms Of Menopause

I was on Alesse for a year. After 1 month I began to lose my hair. Fast. I lost tons of weight. Around the 3rd month, my period flow began to diminish from a moderate to light. The amount of days also reduced from a full 7 to 3 and then to none. I did not get my period after stopping Alesse for 3 years. Yes 3 years. During this time I my hair continued to fall out and I gained weight. 135lbs to 177. I have not been able to burn the weight off no matter how much exercise i do or eat healthy. Something I have always done. During this time, I also experienced Menopausal symptoms like severe hot flashes. It has been 8 years and I rarely get my period. Approximately 9 times. Is there anything I can do to correct this besides going back on a BC pill, progesterone and Metformin? Is there something more natural?

1. since AGE is not mentioned, but as it is mentioned in history: [rarely get period, approximately 9 times], thus it can be deduced that you might be a peri menopausal patient. [since getting menopausal symptoms]

2. as loss of hair and weight gain is concern, thus appointment with a Gynecologist is must, who will perform necessary Examination [Per Vaginum/ Per Speculum] and Investigation [Ultrasound to rule out PCOD, Hormonal Profile for under active thyroid and sex hormones]

3. Avoid fatty food,curd,late night work,soyabean,milk,mustard oil,cabbage, and take moong dal,tambul,saindhav,tandulodak,coconut water, vegetable soups

Yoy may ask for prescription medicines like: raj pravartini vati, tankan bhasm, kaumarya assav, ashoka arishta.

PS. because all H.R.T. [hormone replacement therapy] drugs being estrogens, thus one should have following things in mind:
. self breast examination every month
. look for vaginal bleeding, thrombo embolic disorders .
