Naturopathic Approach to Menopause

It begins with shifts in hormone levels and may be accompanied by changes in our body, including mood swings, weight gain, brain fog, low libido, PMS, menstrual irregularity, vaginal dryness, headache, irritability, poor sleep quality, hot flushes and the list goes on…..

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms or need support to get back on track with your health, read on to discover the Naturopathic approach to healing and how this natural treatment can resolve your symptoms and improve your overall health and wellbeing.

How Naturopathy Can Help You

Naturopathy treats the whole person rather than a symptom or illness and addresses the cause and drivers of imbalance within the body so you can achieve positive and lasting results.

Our body has an innate ability to heal itself and Naturopathy works to support the body during this process. The focus is on the cause of the health issues and disease prevention.

Naturopathy incorporates the body, mind and emotions throughout the healing process. Healing practices work in harmony with your body’s own healing mechanisms. The following interventions may be used to support the process:

Herbal Medicine is used to treat and prevent a range of illnesses. Herbal medicine has been used traditionally to relieve symptoms of menopause, particularly hot flushes, moodiness, low energy and poor sleep.

Diet and nutrition help to restore balance and help with detoxification for disease prevention. During menopause weight gain is often a concern for women and this can be caused by insulin resistance. We employ strategies to address insulin resistance and improve, not only your weight, but overall health and wellness.
