Menopause Treatments


Natural menopause treatments offered as part of our CT women's health and wellness program are effective at alleviating symptoms such as hotflashes and insomnia. 
These include herbal medicines, dietary modifications,  homeopathy and other natural alternatives to conventional hormone replacement therapy (HRT).  If you are currently on hormone replacement therapy, you be able to get off medication with natural hormone balancing and support.

Osteoporosis Treatment


Osteoporosis means "porous bones".  Bones become brittle and weak when calcium, phosphorus and other minerals are depleted in the bones and this causes an increased fracture risk.  In women, menopause is a factor in the development of osteoporosis because of a decline in estrogen, which helps keep calcium in the bones.  Vitamin D is important for the absorption and retention of calcium from food.  Low vitamin D increases the risk of developing osteoporosis.

How to Maintain Healthy Bones and Prevent Osteoporosis


Get regular exercise- especially weight bearing exercise throught life in order to build and keep strong bones.

Get adequate amounts of calcium, vitamin D, along with other minerals from a non-processed, whole food diet.

Limit intake of soda, coffee, tobacco, and alcohol, all of which have a negative affect on bone density.
