The value of complementary and alternative medicine in the treatment of climacteric symptoms: Results of a survey among German gynecologists.
CONCLUSIONS: German gynecologists seem to have made positive experiences with CAM when observing their patients, in general. An alteration of lifestyle is seen as the most effective alternative therapy in menopause. Due to their widespread use, possible side effect of natural agents should be excluded.
