What this trial studies
Although menopause is a normal physiological process in women's lives, it is often accompanied by physical and emotional symptoms that can negatively affect women's quality of life. Hot flushes and night sweats, physical discomfort, sleep disturbances, increased anxiety, irritability, depressive symptoms, fatigue are among the most common and disturbing menopausal symptoms. In order to have a healthy and happy menopause and postmenopausal period, reducing women's complaints during this period will improve their quality of life. Recently, women are increasingly turning to non-hormonal, complementary and alternative methods to improve their quality of life.
