Alternative treatment for menopausal women with low libido

Studies have suggested that supplements of the male hormone testosterone may help increase libido and the intensity of orgasm. Side effects of testosterone are very rare, especially with the low doses used today. Rare side effects may include hoarseness or development of facial hair or acne.
Some women are trying natural products, which contain estrogen-like substances. Soy products such as tofu or soymilk added to the diet may lessen some of these symptoms. Some women report success with herbal 'hormonal stabilizers' like black cohosh, chasteberry or evening primrose oil.
