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 undue 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.
