Menopause Relief....The Struggle with Hormones

“Nothing is ever proven in medicine. You just try to look at the evidence and find the best treatment for your patients!¹” And the door opens for alternative remedies.
Women everywhere struggle for years as they traverse the geography of menopause. The natural depletion of estrogen as a woman enters this biological and emotional passage can make her body rage between hot flashes, night sweats, moodiness and clouded thinking. To some it’s pure hell. To others it’s a simple chapter in life. To the men in their lives, its undeniable stress to the relationship and a feeling of helplessness.
As women get frustrated, they visit their gynecologist looking for estrogen supplements to boost their diminishing hormone levels and get their inconvenient introductions to menopause under control. Today there are more choices than the mare’s urine, cancer inducing estrogen pills, called Premarin, of our mother’s and grandmother’s day.
Bioidentical hormones are an alternative solution to pills and patches. Unfortunately, proof doesn’t bear out that “bioidentical hormones are any safer or more effective than traditional treatments.²”
Whether choosing traditional or bioidentical, taking any kind of hormone carries with it a health trade off–comfort and clarity to the mind, body, spirit or the potential of blood clots and endometrial disease that can lead to uterine cancer.
It begs the question, is there another way? In the last four years, countless women have found hydration a critical component that allows for relief of the symptoms of menopause. If you can achieve a greater sense of balance otherwise known as homeostasis for your biological terrain, wouldn’t it be valuable?
Alkaline, micro-clustered ionized water [Kangen Water®] can make a difference. Hydration isn’t a cure, but it goes a long way toward keeping a woman’s body in balance so it can more efficiently flush toxins out of your system. These are toxins that can interfere with homeostasis and thereby aggravate the entry into the complex stage of ‘middle-age’ life. Getting in balance leads to a calm that can take you to a more comfortable and patient you.
