Menopause

Natural Solutions for Menopause

Hot flashes, decreased libido, night sweats…all symptoms of menopause. Though, technically not a disease, menopause can be just as troublesome and uncomfortable as one. The average age is 55, but many women start pre-menopause as early as 42. This can mean 10 years of undo suffering.

Until a few years ago, the current treatment for hot flashes and other symptoms was estrogen replacement with synthetic estrogens. Since there can be an increased cancer risk with estrogen replacement, many women are turning to natural solutions for menopause.

The wonderful thing about complementary medicine is that we believe the body can heal itself. Our job is the find the cause of the problem, stimulate the body to heal, and remove the obstacles to healing.

Although the hot flashes are the most common symptom of menopause, they are not the biggest risk. When women go through menopause, their risk for heart disease, osteoporosis, and dementia rises substantially. Natural medicine can also help address these risks and prevent them from becoming a reality.

We use a combination of many our alternative medicine tools to bring relief of the symptoms of menopause as well as prevent further disease from occurring.

• Herbal and nutritional supplements to address the hormonal imbalance
• Homeopathic remedy specific to the individual patient
• Nutritional supplements to support the heart, bones and brain
• Diet and exercise routine to optimize your health
• Natural, bio-identical hormones, if needed, for short-term symptom support
