A Natural Approach to
Managing Menopause

For some women, menopause is a traumatic time and for others they can breeze through quite it easily. As there are such vast differences in symptoms from one woman to the next it is best that you seek the advice of a professional natural health practitioner for specific assistance with your symptoms. However, there are some natural health alternatives and general lifestyle changes you can make which can ease the symptoms associated with menopause. These activities include additional foods in your diet, herbal supplements to balance your hormones and exercise to not only keep you fit but help to counter Osteoporosis – a major side effect of declining oestrogen in women.


 There are several pros and cons for taking HRT and in some cases there are side-effects to consider. You can find some information about the side effects here.

Your-Total-Wellness.com will focus on the lifestyle choices and herbs that you can take for a natural health approach to menopausal symptom management. This special time in a woman's life should be seen in a positive light and as a time for self-discovery – you can’t stop it, so learn to go with the flow!

SIDE BAR

It is important to note that menopause is a completely natural process and should not be fought against. Just as puberty happens when we grow out of childhood, menopause happens when we grow out of Adult-hood and into our wiser, senior years. Cast your mind back to Puberty. For some, puberty was also a difficult time, but there was no stopping it was there!

Menopause usually starts around the age of 45 for most women. It happens when a woman’s body reduces the production of oestrogen hormone. Since women have an abundance of oestrogen during their reproductive years, to suddenly have to live with decreased oestrogen hormone levels can cause some unpleasant changes. It can result in hot flushes (flashes), sweating, headaches, backaches, arthritis, irritability, osteoporosis, vaginal dryness, sleep disturbances, mood symptoms, cognitive disturbances, somatic complaints, urinary complaints; uterine bleeding problems, sexual dysfunction, weight gain and reduced quality of life just to name a few. It can also be a psychologically distressing time because some women no longer feel “feminine” while going through the transition.

SIDE BAR

Also important to note is that the state of your mind is a critical governing factor over how your handle changes in your health. Your-Total-Wellness.com advocates the work of Wallace D. Wattles, “The Science of Being Well” which is available freely for download by clicking here. In his, “The Science of…” Series you’ll discover that how what we think and feel brings those very things (good/bad health, wealth/poverty, life, etc.) so if you are happy about your health you will be able to stay in good health. If you are unhappy and dwell upon your ailments and troubles you will bring more unhappiness into your health to compound your problems. Learning to get a hold over your positive and negative thinking habits can make a tremendous improvement over your symptoms and how you manage the transition through it.
