Menopause

We treat a wide range of symptoms/conditions associated with menopause, including: hot flushes, night sweats, reduced libido, urinary tract infections, urinary urgency, lower back and knee pains or weakness, depression, irritability, anxiety, mood swings, panic attacks, palpitations, insomnia, headaches, fatigue, etc.

The goal of the treatment is

¨ To restore health (mental, spiritual, emotional, and physical).

¨ Most importantly, to improve women’s quality of life.
