After treating countless women for menopause we have found that treating and boosting the adrenal gland function, optimising liver function, reducing stress, implementing an exercise regime and preparing a healthy eating plan all work wonders for those women struggling through menopause.

Hot Flushes

Hot flushes during menopause can be exacerbated by drinking alcohol, high blood pressure, having an unhealthy weight range, fatty liver and stress. All these possible causes can be readily addressed by partaking in a natural treatment program.

How to boost hormones naturally and safely

The way in which we will enhance hormone levels naturally is by using medicinal herbs to boost adrenal function and eating foods high in phyto-oestrogens. Phyto-estrogens found in plants are much weaker than hormones found in human body. They help balance the levels of hormones whether they are high or low and are therefore very safe.
