Attention ladies: Finally, a beer company has you in mind. The Portsmouth Brewery in New Hampshire has developed a craft beer to help you combat those nasty menopausal symptoms. Common symptoms of menopause include insomnia, hot flashes, and headaches. Women experience these symptoms as a result of changing hormones which take place during menopause. The beer is called Libeeration and the company worked alongside health practitioners and herbalists to target an often overlooked demographic.
Libeeration contains ingredients like stinging nettle, lemon balm, motherwort, mugwort, rose, chickweed, damiana, and chamomile. The product has taken years to develop and finally bring to the market, but its producers suggest it can help ease symptoms like sleeping problems and mood swings.
