Hormonal balance can be achieved with the help of natural remedies. Once this is achieved, the body is better equipped to take care of itself. Hormone tablets are unnecessary if you think of the menopause in terms of freedom rather than bondage.
REMEDIES
Have a cold sitz bath for 3 minutes every night before going to bed. Rub yourself dry with a warm towel.
Have foot massages, concentrating on the reflex points for the kidneys and spleen.
Eat more broccoli, cos lettuce and pumpkin seeds.
Seek further advice on the use and benefits of vitamins and herbs from a herbalist or healing practitioner.
