CBD is Cannabidiol found in cannabis. Apparently it has many health benefits and worth looking into. It does not make you high. I am trying it as a last resort to help ease my symptoms as HRT is just not for me, I am having too many side effects.

Hi, I've taken Maca root for over a year now and does nothing for the hot flashes and sweats, it did help in peri with the vaginal dryness, stopped working when I came off the BCP. Natural remedies work for some of us others just have no effect, during peri last year I tried them all for months, black cohosh, red clover, sage the whole lot  :'( and had no improvement at all, only the Maca and magnesium which helped with sleep worked in my case. I also take B group hair and nails supplements and Omega 3. Never tried CBD and don't think I will.
