“Women are seeking natural treatments. They want to minimize the unnecessary use of pharmaceuticals and hormones, and to avoid surgery whenever possible.” They seek relief from menstrual complaints and menopausal symptoms. Some are looking for help with infertility, others a natural approach to childbirth, pregnancy and postpartum issues.
Hormones are incredible chemical messengers in our body that affect our brain, heart, bones, muscles, and reproductive organs and are an essential part of the workings of every cell in the human body. Hormones work best when balanced. However, hormones can become imbalanced.
Hormone imbalances are caused by:
- Higher than average levels of stress
- Poor food choices
- Inadequate sleep
- Taking synthetic hormones
- Sedentary lifestyle (lack of movement or exercise)
Naturopathic medicine is effective in treating most women’s health conditions, whether acute or chronic.
