Every menopause experience is different. Yet, there are definite supportive measures women can apply in their lives to help the body’s own natural hormonal balance. The principle way is
through stress management. As for the natural remedies, there is no exact “prescription” for every woman. Only through education and experimentation will women find the natural tools to help support their own menopause experiences.
One concept that is often lost in the confusion of menopause is that it is not a “disease,” but a stage of life that has been programmed into our body for a reason. The ovaries produce significant amounts of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone during our reproductive years, but this production is shifted down for the rest of life.
The attached documents below provide information on the symptoms of menopause, use of natural alternatives, and the best foods to be eating to support the body during this time.
