Natural Alternatives to HRT
With the latest news on the risks of using HRT hitting the headlines (click here for the full story), many women will look towards herbal medicine as a natural alternative to HRT.
Every week, more and more women come to my clinic at Napiers in Edinburgh in need of help with menopausal symptoms such as hot flushes, insomnia, mood changes, heavy or irregualar periods, weight gain and vaginal dryness. Many have tried 'over the counter' remedies which help a little, but the holistic approach that I offer is usually much more effective for relieving symptoms and boosting general health and vitality in the long term.
I look at each person's overall health, as well their current health issues and use this information to choose and blend a selection of herbs into a prescription that they will take 2 or 3 times daily. I also offer nutritional advice, which I find can make a real difference especially in terms of energy and general health. I keep in regular contact with my clients to ensure that they are getting the most out of their treatment.
I've recently joined together with my colleague, Life Coach and Tibetan Health practitioner Kate Roddick to offer a 'Menopause Makeover' - a chance to address not only the physical but the emotional side of 'the change'.
For a reduced rate of £70 for your first herbal medicine and life coaching sessions, we will support and advise you on ways to help yourself and to make a smooth transition into the next exciting phase of your life.
Please contact Napiers, 35 Hamilton Place, Edinburgh on 0131 315 2130 to book a one-to-one appointment with me or to find out more about the Menopause Makeover.
