​

A Note on Menopause

​

A fairly high percentage of Anita's patients seek help for all stages and symptoms of menopause. Bespoke and holistic Herbal Medicine offers a natural and effective alternative to HRT but can also help work alongside it if required. At all the various stages of the menopause Herbal Medicines strengthen and support the nervous system and gut function, assist the liver and endocrine system and help improve hormonal balance leading to greater well-being. When the right herbs are prescribed at the right dose, herbal medicine can really help with changes in mood, tolerance levels, anxiety, palpitations and sleep issues. It can reduce or remove the incidence of hot flushes, night sweats and joint aches and help the gut and liver function well to metabolise hormones more effectively, improving balance overall. Every person experiences menopause differently so the herbal mixtures are always prescribed for the individual.
