Menopausal symptoms can have adverse effects on your wellbeing and may escalate to a point of severe discomfort.  Take the reins on your health and find a professional naturopathic health centre that offers menopausal herbal support, like Mullumbimby Herbals.

 

Why choose the Naturopathic Approach?

Over the years, alternative medicine has garnered acceptance and popularity as a way of treating various ailments and health problems. The naturopathic approach aims at treating various health issues by supporting the body’s innate healing processes.  The patient is considered holistically, and treatment plans are individualized.  Natural herbs are among the many potent tools used to re-establish balance, vitality, and to maintain glowing health.

Natural herbs do not regularly come with the severe adverse side effects that so many of their conventional drug counterparts tend to.  Further, natural medicines treat a wide array of ailments, and often support health in multiple systems of the body.  One medicine may be prescribed for a particular condition, and yet support an array of benefits not yet considered by client as part of the problem.  For instance, you will find that a natural herb that soothes a headache is also ideal for treating joint pain or backache.

Take your time to find a professional, respected naturopathic health centre that you trust and feel comfortable with to receive the best services on offer. A good facility should provide exceptional services and high quality organic herbs.

Reduce your stress level by consuming high quality organic herbs

There are so many causes of stress in our modern lives, from traffic to difficult family or work situations. A common cause of stress is the feeling that we have too much to do and too little time to do it. Unemployment is another potential source, as is pollution – both from our environment and from junk food. Even watching crime stories and violence on TV day after day, builds up stress and releases stress hormones into our systems. An unhappy relationship (or no relationship!), a dominating spouse, school exams, sick children, burn out at home or work – the list of causes is virtually endless.

Stress, in turn, may trigger allergies, asthma, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, skin conditions, herpes and can also lead to heart conditions.

Actually I’ve found in my naturopathic/ayurvedic practice, that stress can be the underlying cause of almost any disease of mind body and spirit. According to our constitution the stress will manifest in different ways and different disease states. Generally stress lowers our immunity and resistance to disease, agitates our mind, stirs up and exaggerates our emotions, and over time exhausts our adrenals.

For pregnant and breastfeeding women managing your stress is particularly important, as the latest research has shown that high stress levels adversely affects your baby. Cortisol (the hormone produced in excess by stress) crosses the placenta and can reduce the babies’ mental development. For all of us reducing cortisol is the key.

Different types or manifestations of Stress (Ayurvedic perspective)

Vata – this is when stress dries us out. From our skin and hair, to our nervous system. It leads to dry and erratic and ungrounded conditions like anxiety, constipation, cramps, undigested food, and over time it will cause depletion and low energy diseases, mental health imbalances and exhaustion

Pitta – this type of stress manifests as hot, sharp intense conditions. Angry outbursts, red skin conditions, loose stools, nausea, heart-burn, and sharp pains. Over time these can lead to burn out.

Kapha – stress is seen here as heavy, dense, sluggish conditions. Overweight, excess sleep, dullness, excess mucous, swellings, and over time can lead to depression, apathy and no energy to change the unhealthy habits we are caught in.
