Menopause is the transition period in a woman's life when her ovaries stop producing eggs, her body produces less estrogen and progesterone, and menstruation becomes less frequent, eventually stopping altogether.
Symptoms include:
- Hot flashes
- Night sweats
- Heart pounding or racing
- Skin flushing
- Sleeping problems
- Depression
- Fatigue
- Anxiety or nervousness
How Naturopathic Medicine can help:
- Balance the female hormones naturally through dietary modifications, herbal medicine, homeopathy and acupuncture
- Support the adrenal glands (stress glands) during this normal transition in life
- Address any liver congestion and treat accordingly as proper liver function/detoxification ensures a smoother transition into menopause
