Abstract

BACKGROUND The use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is widespread in the treatment of menopausal symptoms. While observational studies indicate that CAMs can bring some relief of symptoms, there is mixed evidence of this based on clinical trials and other studies (Thompson, 2010 and Newton et al., 2006), with very little available research specific to South Africa.
