Women of all ages are affected by hormones – whether it be during puberty, their ‘fertile’ years or during menopause. All too frequently during a consultation when I enquire about menstruation symptoms, the response is “only the normal pain, moods, cramping …”. These symptoms need not be accepted as ‘normal’ – rather these symptoms are evidence of an imbalance.
By treating the body as a whole and identifying the cause of any such imbalance, my goal is to enable every woman to enjoy being a woman.
Sometimes underlying imbalances may not be obvious, that is when I recommend saliva hormone testing. These are able to accurately identify imbalances responsible for causing unpleasant symptoms – whether it be pain, emotional or other physical discomfort. The specific use of supplements and/or herbal remedies greatly assists in rebalancing the hormones and achieving the desired results – being pain free, experiencing no emotional fluctuations or achieving conception.

Every woman should also be aware that imbalanced hormones can trigger more serious conditions, including breast, uterine or ovarian cancer. Prevention is always the best approach. Being well informed is also highly recommended.
If you, or any woman you know, are menstruating, please take the time to view Dr Mercola’s video on sanitary products – these items are frequently not given much consideration from a safety perspective.
Please go to Dr Mercola’s website and read about breast cancer and mammograms. Remember to always consult a qualified health practitioner before taking any supplements.
