Hot Flushes
Hot flushes affect many women around the menopause. Symptoms include hot face, neck & body with redness and perspiration, followed sometimes by a chill, a faster heart beat, tingling hands or nausea. They can occur at any time of day or night and can disturb sleep.
We have much success in identifying factors that can cause hot flushes. We see this as a symptom that the body is out of balance and we identify what imbalances these are through the 'Health Detective Screening System'. We check for hormonal imbalances, especially of the thyroid as conventional tests only pick up the end result, hormonal changes may have been occurring for many years.
We also check for Vitamin and Mineral deficiencies as these are essential for the body in the detoxification process. If the body cannot detoxify, it will often raise the core temperature in order to expel toxins via the skin. Food intolerances are also checked as these can cause disturbances. Lifestyle and diet can be assessed during the Screening.
Once all the information has been gathered, a Programme is designed which may include balancing blood sugar via diet, increasing the energy of the thyroid via herbs and assisting the liver in detoxification. Sometimes we may recommend other treatments to help bring the body back into balance, such as 'Acupuncture' or 'Reflexology'.
Please telephone or email to book an appointment and ask for a 'Food/ Hormone/ Vitamin and Mineral Test'. The test takes about an hour.
