Natural alternatives for the Menopause
As an experience complementary therapist, I have found that
combining reflexology with nutritional advice can provide
natural effective relief from some of the numerous symptoms
of the menopause.
What is the menopause?
The menopause is a natural part of the ageing process. Every
woman who has periods will go through the menopause at sometime
in her life, usually between the age of 42 and 58. The experience
of the menopause can vary greatly from one woman to another.
For some it can be completely trouble free, but for many
it can be a difficult and uncomfortable time. The drop in
the levels of the female hormones oestrogen and progesterone
cause the symptoms of menopause
What are the symptoms of menopause?
There are a number of symptoms attributed to the menopause,
such as:
- Hot flushes and night sweats
- Fatigue
- Insomnia
- Emotional changes such as mood swings, anxiety and
forgetfulness
- Dry skin and hair
- Low libido
- Vaginal change of dryness, leading to painful intercourse
and infections
- Incontinence and urinary infections
- Irregular periods
- Weight gain
- Generalised itching
Natural alternatives to the menopause
Many women are offered Hormone replacement therapy (HRT)
to ease their symptoms by their doctors. Some women prefer
a more natural approach, without the possible side effects
of HRT.
Using reflexology, with a change in your diet, can help
to relieve your menopausal symptoms.
I often incorporate aromatherapy and holistic stress management
techniques in the treatments to help with relaxation
and emotional changes.
