Natural Hormone Therapy
Hormones refer to chemicals that are carried throughout the blood and can affect mood and energy levels. Hormones such as oestrogen play a significant role in our reproductive health and wellbeing. That’s why it’s important to ensure that they remain in balance to avoid developing undesirable health issues. At Melbourne Natural Medicine Clinic, our natural hormone therapy experts can help inform you about the role of different hormones and how you can maximise their health benefits while minimising their disadvantages.
We boast a highly trained and experienced team whose goal is to identify and address the underlying issues that might be causing or exacerbating your health issues. By taking a holistic approach to your health, we can provide suggestions and recommendations that improve your diet and lifestyle. This approach aims to improve the quality of your hormone health as well as your general well-being. We can also provide various natural treatment options, including acupuncture treatment for hormones that can correct imbalances and improve quality of life.
OESTROGEN
Oestrogen is to women what testosterone is to men – an essential part of reproductive health. From early childhood through to middle age and beyond, oestrogen plays a role in every stage of a woman’s life. This hormone, which is produced by the ovaries, is responsible for a range of positive things including foetal development, improved cognitive abilities, and more. Unfortunately, it is also associated with PMS, menopausal symptoms, and other health issues.
Our hormone imbalance treatment is aimed at maximising the positive effects of oestrogen while minimising the negative effects. We can help you avoid ‘oestrogen dominance’, which can result in fatigue, weight gain, mood swings, sleep disturbances, headaches, and other symptoms. We offer a range of natural treatments for female hormonal imbalance to assist with this. Our list is huge and tailor-made to suit you, but here are a few available options:
- Flaxseeds for increasing the production of good oestrogen
- Polygonum and kudzu for regulating the effects of oestrogen
- Turmeric for general detoxification within the body
- Folic acid, vitamin B6 and vitamin B12 for effective processing of oestrogen
We also offer acupuncture treatment for hormones, focusing on the whole person and addressing the underlying cause of the issue to restore balance in the body.
DIETARY AND LIFESTYLE CHANGES
At Melbourne Natural Medicine Clinic, we can provide a naturopath for hormone imbalance who can offer advice on a range of other measures you can use to attempt to improve your hormonal health. This includes, but is not limited to, consuming a healthy diet of fruit and vegetables, increasing exercise, reducing caffeine consumption, and giving up cigarettes. These are all excellent natural remedies that can relieve the negative effects of hormones as well as promote good health and wellbeing. We can also provide natural treatments for hormone imbalances in men.
ACUPUNCTURE TREATMENT FOR HORMONES
Acupuncture is a form of medicine that was developed more than 2,000 years ago in China. Rather than focusing on managing symptoms, acupuncture treatment for hormones addresses the root of the issue and focuses on the whole person in order to restore hormonal balance in the body. The practice involves placing needles at specific points of the body that correspond to specific organs and energy pathways, clearing blockages and improving the body’s natural healing abilities. This can alleviate a range of hormonal imbalance symptoms, such as migraines, PMS, acne, breast tenderness, painful menstrual cycles, weight gain, hair loss, and more. Enquire with our clinic today to discuss whether acupuncture treatment for hormones might be suitable for you.
