Libido
Libido can become low for many reasons, including stress, fatigue, hormonal imbalances such as falling oestrogen levels around the menopause, under active thyroid, insufficient blood flow to the sexual organs and depression.
The 'Health Detective' Screening System helps to identify the underlying cause of the condition. Often there is adrenal fatigue and deficiencies in key nutrients such as the B vitamins, Vitamin C, Zinc and Essential Fatty Acids. Everyone is different. Iridology is helpful in determining the tendency of the bowel and liver to be congested, as many hormones are created in the intestinal area and if the bowels are retaining waste, it can start to cause toxicity in the blood.
Low libido is surprisingly common and many people - men and women - can feel embarrassed by this subject, but low sexual urges seem to be more and more common. This could possibly be because of the more stressful lifestyles we lead, more hormone-mimicking substances in the environment causing imbalances, more toxicity within our bodies.
Often, when people visit the doctor with this condition, a cause cannot be identified. This is due to the fact that blood tests only pick up the end result, but people will be experiencing symptoms such as low libido for many months or years before any blood changes have been made. We use the Screening system to check for the root cause and assess hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies and food intolerances all which can be contributing factors.
Once the imbalances have been identified, herbal remedies, and nutritional supplements are suggested sometimes with a detoxification programme or slight change of diet. We try to include new foods to your diet that can help to nourish the body, fresh juices and simple things that can be done at home each day to encourage a healthy body.
Please telephone or email to book an appointment and ask for the 'Foods/ Hormones/ Vitamin and Mineral Test'. This takes about an hour.
We have a number of specific products available on our On-line Shop 'Hormonal Health, Low Libido'. If you are unsure which product would be most beneficial for you, please contact us and we will be pleased to advise.
